Well Brain, when you consider that she are the only one who has a flag to painted, no references should be available.

 You could still take a large brush for the surface .....
 And there are great water pictures on stick for flags ...
 O.k. was a joke! ;) ;) ;) ;)

 OK. When the Civil War Started in 1860 most of the states had volunteer militia units. These where call Lincoln's 90 day wonders for the North. The uniforms that they started the war with where the standard 1858 uniforms with the long coat for the regular Army and the Hardee Hat.  Volunteer units where very different. They ranged from Zouaves, Chasseurs, Highlanders . Uniforms ranged from Gray for the Union to blue for Confederacy. At the first Bull Run you could not tell who was who on the battle field. By late 1862 uniforms where becoming the standard civil war uniform. The short sack coat, the forage cap.  I would recommend the follow books. I hope these will help and you did good on those uniform. Willie

                    1. Echoes of Glory Arms and Equipment of the Union, Confederacy by Time Life. these two are outstanding because they have color photos of everything from the war.
                    2. Military Uniforms In America Long Endure: The Civil War 1852-1867 By The Company of Military Historians.
                    3. Uniforms of the Civil War. 1861-65 By Philip Haythornthwaite.

Thanks for that Mark, I'm clueless to  what the colours were, mind you, I didn't even realise the confederate also wore Blue!!!!!   Very confusing.

Yes, these look quite nice.


I also have an officer requiring a trefoil on his kepi and his cuffs which is quite a challenge in this size.
