Southern Artillery

I must have painted up eight or nine artillery pieces - but this is one of my favourites. Two head swaps - one from the Foundry Southern command pack and one from the Southern mounted command pack.

As research into Confederate equipment and uniforms has improved, the use of 'butternut' in the ANV has been the subject of much debate. By mid 1863 many regiments would have been recently resupplied through the depot system. Improvements in the dyeing process and imported cloth may have limited the use of organic dyes which produced the darker brown uniforms. The use of photographic images, contemporary descriptions and quartermaster's records where available will hopefully provide the information needed to paint each regiment with a degree of historical accuracy.
