I forget the company name but I have accumulated a ton of these little civil war figures. They come in box with painting instructions on the back, humbrol paints I believe. They all come on a sprew, either blue or grey. Interesting thing is the riders and the horses look out of scale, could be my eyes but they don't look quite right.
Anyway, I want to start painting and doing a diorama. Do people first prime the blue and grey first? Does that help and if so, what color?. Then, what are the colors, typical because I know it varied so incredibly much, should I paint rebel and yank uniforms? I am looking at about 1863 colors, not too early when it was crazy and clearly not too late, 1865. Looking for some consistent colors if anyone can chime in. I normally build WWII aircraft in 1:48. I have been accumulating these for years. They are small and I actually forget the scale. Thanks for the help in advance.
