I have finished my Austrian Artillery. The artillery figures and Hinchcliffe guns were all gifted to me by 3 fellow gamers and I hope you like how they ended up.
I painted the guns in a clean yellow rather looking scruffy as I would have done with 28mm figures. It took quiet a few coats if yellow to get the finish I wanted.
I painted the barrels black after pictures I saw on the First Legion site as I liked better than bronze. Not sure if this is strictly accurate though.
I also have French Marshall from JCs range undercoated.

That really is superb brushwork there Mark - you've done the lads proud!
I second that. You really ought to consider stripping and repainting your charity shop finds, Mark, as your own painting is very very smart indeed.
Thanks for your kind comments. I am still learning how to paint classic figures to get the right look. I have added a little light grey highlight on the bicorne hats and blanket rolls. They would look all wrong if I used triple highlights.
Matt - if I had enough time I probably would consider stripping some of the charity shop figures particularly the French Infantry.
Very nice, they look great!
Lovely work there Mark.
