I found tutorials to paint confederate and union uniforms: Painting American Civil War Confederates and Painting American Civil War Union and for Horses (but with Humbrol colors, I must check if I can get the same colors from vallejo) These paint schemes 10mm miniatures and I'm planning to paint 28mm minis. I hope the scale makes not really a difference in what colors I should use. It is possible that I need more colors or not? Ok, I could use white to get different shades of the same colors of the mentioned paints. A friend of mine will paint Confederates as rebels for our western campaign. I think we will use the ACW 1 Plastic American Civil War Infantry and ACW2 Plastic American Civil War Cavalry from Perry Miniatures. I think I will take some of them and paint them also, but as Unions. There are also Minis for ACW 90 American Civil War Artillery and ACW 70 American Civil War Zouaves, but in theses I'm not interested in the moment. They made also this box: ACW 80 American Civil War Confederate Infantry 1861-65 I do not understand why they made an extra box for Confederates Infanty, if they could be made out of the ACW 1 Box... I know that Zouaves are used by the US and CSA, I would like to know which colors they were wearing on which sides. Example Pictures from the Perry Site:
