Wanted. photo's of confederate kitbashes

As the title says. I'm not actually that into kit bashing at the moment but I'd love to do a confederate to go with my wild west figures.

Also, anyone know where to get US union flags and confederate flags in 1/6th

Thanks

here's a flag Mark, also Cotswold Collectibles sell various Civil War accessories

As Sir Sid said Cotswold do some nice bits and uniforms .

go over to OneSixthUK and take a look at stuff by gordy man he does amazing work hope this is of some help

Here's an oldie I originally did back in 2010/11? now with a new updated copyright date. Not really a kitbash but mainly a redress of old Joes in DID type uniforms, there's only a slight kitmix in there (MAM trouser/pants, vam boots and a homemade rolled blanket..

A very nice uniform, gideon! The confedarates are my favourites of the Civil War.

Some of those crazy confederates used to fight battles in bare feet because of boot shortages!

I would love to see a Confederate 'Irish Brigade' kitbash, just look at those beautiful paintings, I have one similar on my wall..



Best American Civil War films to watch are: 'Gods And Generals' and 'Gettysburg' they're fab man films

My favourites too! I did have a thread on here somewhere with all my kitbashes on it. Take a look at the movie 'ride with the devil' about bushwhackers in Kansas. Another side to the war.

Yes! That's another fab Civil War film: 'Ride With The Devil' I was trying to remember the name of that one but couldn't! Thanks for the memory jolt!  

I like the bit when they ride up to a Union held town, whilst wearing captured union/North jackets, then they take them off to show their true colours and attack!..
Plus the bit where they lead the Union troops to a tree line, where the confederates dismount their horses and put up a good fight before retreating.

superb bashes G!, good to see you back mate

Fab photos! And very nice uniforms, brilliant!  

I suggest to other forum members to click the music above, then look at these photos..

The thing to remember is that while we tend to think "Blue vs. Gray", most Confederate troops from 1863 on wore modified civilian clothes, often wearing "homespun items" or captured Union gear. The best Civil War films are "Red Badge of Courage" (unfortunately B+W for uniforms) and "Glory". For 1/6 scale flags, they sell desktop flags over here that are 1/6ish; maybe look that route.

I'll out myself and say that my alma mater commissioned the second most Union Army officers after West Point. Our ceremonial cadet artillery unit had a motto relating to that.

Superb photo's Gee. And thanks for that Info Nate, though I'm guessing the flag of the union would look a whole lot different now to then. Glory is one of my all time favourite films.

[quote Some of those crazy confederates used to fight battles in bare feet because of boot shortages![/quote] there used to be what was called brogans which was shoes that went on either foot

As gray material ran out the uniforms were dyed butternut brown. Wearing US belt buckles upside down is a cool idea for southern kitbashes and Cotswold do a gray version of the US cavalry cap.

Zouave kitbashes

A colour PIC to show the uniforms better. The rubber boots work well as brogans.

I did a kitbashes once of a CSMC the confederate states marine corp. Can't find the PIC though. Basically it was the long gray frockcoat with white trousers. Simple but effective and different too!

great set of confederate troops, I especially like the zouave trooper , is his name Jean.E.Reb.???

Amazing photo's

the west point cadet uni makes a good starting point for an early acw bash

Awesome photos gideon!

I remember some of these photos, and very nice too!
