hi,

being from “old europa” I’m not fit enough to sort out american uniforms from
the last century. could somebody please help me out naming these parts:

http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/973px41
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/973px42
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/973px43

they are all yankees, right?


973px41 looks like general custer


973px42 is a soldier


973px43 could be kevin costner in “dances with wolves :-) therefore it is a
Lieutenant.


I would go for:

973pw1.dat - Minifig Torso with Yankee General Pattern
973pw2.dat - Minifig Torso with Yankee Lieutenant Pattern
973pw3.dat - Minifig Torso with Yankee Soldier Pattern

but I know for sure that I’m totally wrong on this side ;-) any ideas?

Union Troops fought in (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Looking at all the replies in this thread, I recommend a streamlined version of George's suggestions (with appropriate LDraw decorations): 973pw1.dat Minifig Torso with US Cavalry General Pattern 973pw2.dat Minifig Torso with US Cavalry (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Willy, I'm sorry for not replying before now (and yes, I did receive your email; mea culpa), but I've been fighting off yet another massive sinue infection. The "good" news is, I got the antibiotics from the doctor this time *before* the infection (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
