....a veritable frenzy of paint brush action in the loft at the moment...these are the latest to leave the painting table... 😀
....this time some heavy artillery - one gun for each side..
...first off, the French - my trusty copy of the Grant book [clicky] told me that at the time the artillery transport was civilian, but the artillery crew (or cannoniers) wore red breaches and stockings, blue coat and red cuffs...
...the gun's were brass/bronze (tick) but the carriages were red or blue depending on your source, and I certainly did that for the medium guns I painted previously, but decided to go with a sombre olive green for these...
..and as usual they're based so that the guns can be removed... that way the gun crew can rout leaving the gun as a marker....
....next the British..
..really happy with how the guy in the shirt came out... (cream for the shirt, dry brush white, chestnut ink wash, highlighted the kerchief white afterwards)...
...it helps of course that he has a hugely characterful face.... I think he looks like a drinker...
...the three above are Black Hat Miniatures...
...the two at the back are Minifigs..
So, some Black Hat crew on the British gun, the guns are from them as well (& they're lovely), the rest of either crew are Minifigs.
