Wargaming Projects 2015

ACW Project

December

29th December 2015, I bought all the back issues of Charge.

21st December 2015, I received my figures from Turbil Miniatures.

20th December 2015, I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures last night to inform me that they had finished the last of my figures.

October

22nd October 2015, Some N gauge buildings I’ve renovated, Two ACW ambulances one for the rebs and one for yanks and 10 more artillery pieces done for my ACW Project. I’m quite pleased with these.

13th October 2015, 63 plus limbers and wagons all painted up.

September

29th September 2015, Some ACW limbers and wagons painted just need highlighting.

5th September 2015, Sorting out my ACW limbers lots to do.

May

31st May 2015, I received my figures back and I’m very impressed.

25th May 2015, I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures today to inform me that my Union figures should be with me by the end of the week. To be honest I feel like a small boy again waiting for Santa to come to say I’m excited is an understatement.

April

24th April 2015, I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures last night to inform me that they had started on my figures. I must admit I’m a little bit excited about this and can’t wait to see the results.

10 April 2015, Like many other wargamers I’m nearly buried up to my neck in unpainted lead and never seem to be able to complete a project as I am constantly flipping from one project to another.

So I decided to hire a professional painter, to complete my ACW armies. The service I settled on was Turbil Miniatures which is run by a husband and wife team and they gave me an estimated turnaround time of 3 months. They also said they would give me regular progress updates.

So my first job is to clean up the miniature’s and then post them to Turbil Miniatures so they can begin painting. As soon as I receive a progress report I will update this post.
