Cofalu ACW Figures

Today again a before and after story. Found this figures in a big bunch of other figures and first I didn't know what brand they were. Thanks to the help of some friend on Facebook I know now that they are Cofalu toy figures. French brand. 



Before I painted them I had one from the Confederation and two from the Union side. As I only have three figures I decided to paint them all as Union infantry figures. They painted really nice, also because they don't have that many details on them.



When I asked on facebook what figures it are someone made a remark on the officer about the gun and the sword. It took me some time to find out what he ment but now I know. Maybe someone else can find out what it is and give the solution in the comments.

Here are the pictures of the figures one by one so you can have a good look at them. I hope you like them.

Imex 518 Conestoga Wagon

Here is the second of three wagons that are painted and based from the Imex wagon range. The third one will be posted another time. 


This wagon was bought by a second hand auction but was in bad shape and I had to rebuild it as good as possible. Here is a picture how it looked like when I started with it.


I think I can be happy with the final result of this wagon. I have seven more of these to do. Here you can see it when you get it in good shape.

I also found a picture taken by Mr Brady, a famous photographer of that period!
