Finished up a unit of Old Glory 1st edition ACW Union figures, not based to any system with flags by GMB. GMB is in my opinion the best commercially available flags out there provided you take the time to finish the edges up properly. These are very nice sculpts full of animation and lots of character in the faces. I still like these figures by Andy Cooper. The range is incredible for the sheer variety of poses and they seem to capture the spirit of the period. When you compare them to the latest sculpts out there the trend seems to be to create figures that look like department store mannequins, the new sculpting is technically good but they have no soul, not realistic at all and very wooden. Especially if you look at the photo's of the period.
