11th Indiana

I'm making some progress on my auction figure for this year's APG Project. This is a 100mm Michael Roberts 11th Indiana NCO conversion; I've added a different head and tinkered a touch with his left shoulder just a little bit.

Our Project this year is the conservation and restoration of the Colors of the 5th Alabama Battalion. This flag was captured at Picketts Charge on July 3rd 1863. They came into the possession of Joshua Chamberlain and were returned to Alabama in 1943. Here's our website:

I'll post a couple more in-progress pictures as well as the final picture for the auction. This figure will be at the Gettysburg Show August 7th - 9th.
