ACW officer conversions - more from FN 11

A while ago I came across a rather nice ACW officer, converted from FN 11, French Napoleonic Line Infantry Officer in greatcoat. I also found I had two further mystery ACW officers and had a discussion with Roy, who said these too were based on the same figure. I was not so sure but now I have had the chance to compare them with an original FN 11 I can see that as always Roy was 100% right. The figures have been converted, then mastered and cast. The first picture shows the first conversion mentioned, with kepi, while the other two figures are in the second shot.

ACW Infantry conversion #1 Union infantry

This picture includes two more types of "dodgy casting". One is a straight home cast version of the standard US 6 Infantry charging figure. The other (figures on left of picture) are converted BN 5, British Napoleonic line infantry charging. The give away here is the shape of the pack. It looks like whoever made these figures converted one of the British Napoleonic figures, essentially either by remodelling the shako into a kepi, or by replacing the head with an ACW one - I haven't looked closely enough to decide which - then used this as a master to produce many copies. The partly formed bases of most of these figures are a telltale sign of home casting or pirating. They do provide a good approximation for the wargaming table of the intended figure.
