Thank you to Carla and Mike for taking the pictures!
I am having my grandson build me a new computer so that should be done soon and alleviate my problems with my 23 year old computer! (it's a wonder it worked so long and still does to an extent!) Thanks for your patience during this time.

This a private in the 7th New York Militia in late April, 1861. Yes, he is wearing gray as it was the official uniform of that New York City unit until later in the year. They were armed with the 1855 rifle that used rolled caps instead of percussion caps. The cap guns we played with as kids were nearly identical. This unit arrived in Washington City in late April and was housed in the Capitol Building for a couple of weeks, thus the marble post. Michael Roberts did this 90mm figure a few years ago.
On other projects now...
Best Wishes to all,
Mike Stuckey
