My Civil War Marine

I don’t know the maker of the uniform, or what kit his gear is from, but I’ve had him for over 6 months. I bought him from a guy in France, of all places. He came with an Enfiekd rifle-musket, but I switched it out. The Marines were often used aboard ship, and they tended to like their smoothnores, so I gave him a ‘42 Springfield musket. With the buck and ball round, this thing was wicked at close range. I also figured that since is on campaign, he needed a knapsack. I also switched out his muslin haversack with this tarred canvas one, and gave him a cup. 

I think he looks pretty good. He wasn’t cheap, but if you want quality, you pay for it I guess!

So, we had a page on Facebook, and it brought about nothing but troubles. I was reported for publishing hate speech, because my WWII story involved German soldiers and the Waffen SS. I had to change the page name, because another page had the same name. Facebook even threatened to shut the page down due to reports it was receiving. 

Well, I beat them to it. I’m tired of their bullshit. Period! Here’s the story, with the photos I want, the name I want, and the story I want to tell. Read, enjoy, and comment. We’re going to have fun with this one. The shackles have been removed, and it’s time to get down to business!
