General Johnson of Ewell's 2nd Corps

Russell has started painting his troops for the big game. Here are a couple of photos he has sent me of
General Johnson  Commander of Ewell's 2nd Corp. 
If the painting of this guy is anything to go by the Rebels will win the prize for "Best Painted Troops"! 




Russell also tells me he is well on the way to getting Jones Brigade painted, so expect more great looking troops soon.

  5. Hi Pablo

    The figure is a conversion from Perry Minatures Confederate General Heath figure. This was what I was sent in my Brigade deal (3 boxes of plastic infantry, 2 artillery pieces and a General).

    I removed the bandages from the head of Heath and used Miliput to replace with hair and increased his beard. I think it's a passable likeness of Edward Johnson.

    Heath's horse is also in a grazing pose which I didn't find appealing so I chopped off at the head and replaced with a plastic head from a French Dragoon's horse and did some work adding reins.

    Here's a link to an image of Johnson to show the visage I was trying to replicate.
