Steuart's brigade

Some more fantastic work from Russell Briant.

Here is what Russell had to say,

Look out for Grace the dog on Steuart's stand. She was the mascot of the 1st Maryland regiment. She was killed in the regiment's second assault on Culp's Hill on 3rd July 1863.
In life she was more of a hairy grey mongrel but the model 'Small English Dog'  from Eureka Miniatures I thought looked better in white, contrasting with the grey uniforms.
 




 
I am sure you will all agree that these are very fine looking chaps about to further the cause for the South!!

Looking forward to seeing these guys in the flesh!

  2. Excellently painted and based regiment. The addition of the mascot really polishes the unit - historically and sentimentally. Best, Dean
