Regimental Fire And Fury "The Rebasing part I"

 

                          

          RF&F has stand after stand lined up next to one another. Whole units are designated by a sticker, 140th PA 8/5/4 or something. You could, but I am not painting individual state units. Most games need around 100 stands. One stand of Union soldiers could represent PA or NY or MA in any one of the scenarios.
          The rebasing is being done per RF&F standards. None are currently based correctly or the same. Plus all the flocking is different. Any one stand could be lined up next to any number of stands per the unit represented in the scenario. This being the nature of the game, I want all the basing and flocking to look the same. In that way making individual stands look like they all belong together.
          The other issue is some of the original basing had more than 3 dudes per stand. By limiting the dudes per stand to 3. I can get more stands out of what I currently have. More stands is a good thing! Remember each scenario takes 100 + stands a side.

         After the dudes sat/stood in water, their old bases melted away. The chunk of lead each dudes stands upon was cleaned up and checked that he would stand up. Everyone was then glued to 3mm plywoood bases, 1 x 3/4". The bases all came from Litko.


          After they dried, PVA went around their feet. With the help of VV all were flocked in Army Painter summer grass sawdust. The lot above was joined by the markers for RF&F.
