Had to do a bit of reorganizing to get all into the plastic bead trays I hold within the one carrying bag. I include photos of both a typical tray - in this case my Union Zouaves some 180 figures - and the opened carrying bag itself which actually has all the space filled with these trays.
I have made specific instruction for the wife to grab this bag on her way out of the burning house. Forget the wedding photos Dear, but make sure this is safe along with the adjacent terrain bag......
I also include a couple of other photo from the collection; the signal tower so I can tell my war game opponent that I indeed HAVE instant command with my far flanks and the pontoon punters to WILL allow my crossing of the "unfordable" river. Hee hee....

| some of the odder posed figures were cut in half, the muskets cut out of the hands and replaced by barge poles so that the pontoons could be pushed across. The pontoons are solid pieces of balsa wood |

| I also painted the last of the Generals I had in storage for years now, including one of the famous Confederate commanders. The stone wall I created on the base is a literal and figuratively big give-away! |
All the figures are from the Old Glory 15mm ACW range which is extensive and with nice touches such as the ladies offering comfort to the wounded in the ambulance vignette. The two identical sets can be, as I have done, painted as Union and Confederate.
