ACW: Divisional Stand - General Buford with Standard Bearer

Another addition for my Union force - the man himself: General Buford!

While his standard bearer with the flag of his First Cavalry Division is a standard Perry plastic cavalry, Buford himself is heavily scratchbuilded.

The base is a Perry ACW cavalry officer with parts from Perry plastic DAK (goggle), Desert Rats (small parts like the bag for maps), the pointing arm is from Warlord Games Fallschirmjäger, all connected together with greenstuff for belts and so on.
