My Miniatures

1/2000 Sailing ships, 15mm and 25 American Civil War Infantry, Artillery, and Cavalry

From 1975 to 1980 I was in a board gaming and war gaming club which met at Schrock's Hobbies, Canton OH and later at the National Guard Armory in Canton, OH. We played D&D, multiple board games, battles with D&D fantasy and American Civil War miniatures, and fought naval battles with 1/2000 ships ).

In 1975-1980 I painted 30-50 orcs, goblins, trolls, etc from the D&D fantasy world; 10 Valiant Fighting Sails 1/2000 scale ships; 3 Confederate infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment, and a artillery battery from Heritage Models.

The reason I did Confederate Civil War units is because 2/3 of the game club members had Union units and they needed some more Confederate units. Since I had a Gr. grandfather in the 101st Indiana regiment and another Gr. grandfather in the 1st Kentucky Cavalry CSA it didn't really make a difference for me. I painted three of the five Confederate nfanty at that time and two more regiments in December of 2022.

Below are the Valiant Fighting Sails 1/2000 scale ships I currently have.
