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!

The new home of “The Misfit Squad.”

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!

I'm back, and it will be better than ever!

   

My 1/6 scale blog is back, and I hope to make it better than ever. It's been a few years, but let the rebuilding begin.
