Austrian Artillery completed

Well all except the mdf bases and finishing the grass green.


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.

Next up I am going to renovate 14 British Fusiliers I got from Matt (WM) and 2 Ensigns I got from Bob to make up my 2nd Fusilier Battalion if my Fusilier Brigade.

I also have French Marshall from JCs range undercoated.

    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.
