Hey Everybody. I have been doing some searching for more Union soldier minifigs and I finally found some. Unfortunatly I do not have any money to spend on them, being a poor college student that I am so I thought I would share the website I found (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

(...) Yes i saw the Gabarro torso on most, but i thought when people were refering to the RR stuff that they had an identical torso. Oh well, i know thats where you get the Kepis though. I might head out to My TRU today maybe some mysteriously (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

I was torn using the divers knives for bayonets since most civil war era bayonets were more of the "Tent peg" or "spike" Variety. Since I have all of those tool wheelsfrom the Rock Raider minifig paks, I tried using the screwdriver, but it didn't (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

(...) Yes - the RR mini-fig pack (4930) includes one dark grey torso (even though it's a little marred by having the yellow&black striping on one of the pockets) and two pairs of dark grey legs. And of course the kepi... You might want to check any (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

(...) Thanks for the info Nate. What you said about the variety of uniforms used by the Confederate army is one reason why I'm not obsessed with trying to recreate any truly authentic LEGO look-alikes. I think having the grey kepi and torso is (...) (24 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

Greg, I think your pics are sweet, I was out of the country so I missed them the first time. What do you do with all of the left over Rock raider parts? The heads are useless, except the scowling bearded guy, because they've got mic's on their (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

I'm sure that somewhere along the way this has been discussed before but it's something that I only recently noticed and really "thought" about: Having looked closely at my Indian mini-figs heads and then studying the other heads I have (seems like (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

Jon, I love it. Such a cool scene. I have been trying hard now to collect my own set of confederate soldiers ever since I saw your original post. I am up to tweleve soldiers, but alas no gray kepis for the guys. Gotta keep cheking the TRU near me. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-01, to lugnet.western)

Well since my last post didn't really generate any heat, here are some pics of a little diorama I mocked up a little bit ago. It's a union infantry charge into a confederate cannon emplacement.
