Just finished this guy today, haven't decided whether to leave natural or paint, if I paint him he will be a yankee, otherwise the rebs will outnumber him here LOL....

Nice job Dave, he looks like he's been through the wringer. Great job of capturing the wearness of a soldier.

Nice job Dave. I think he looks more like a reb. I would not paint him and leave him natural.
