Napoleonic Russians - 12th Light Battery (6pdr)

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Napoleonic Russians - 12th Light Battery (6pdr)

Post by Greystreak » Sun Oct 09, 2011 1:09 pm

The Russian Napoleonic project rolls on at the usual glacial pace with the recent completion of the 12th Light Battery (6-pdr), part of the integral artillery of the 7th Infantry Division at Borodino. Figures are Wargames Foundry 28mm, sculpted by Alan Perry (though the 6-pdr guns & unicorns were taken from the 'Crimea' range), with the usual paints and basing materials. Some experimentation and colour shifts adopted, for both figures and basing, compared to the previous battery, so your comments and suggestions are most welcome.

Quite stunning work as usual Bryce, I'm as green as the guns with envy. Well done mate.

Your usual superb work!

What's the box the battery is occupying?

Rob,

I googled the words on the box.

Cheers, all.

Günter is completely correct, as my brother and sister-in-law live in Patras, and the wines originally inside the box were a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. :D

What in the world has happened to the wine. Why is it not still in the box? Has there been some skullduggery? Does an investigation need to be mounted? :lol:

Absolutely spiffing artillery Bryce. They'll make a few French shakos shoot into the air! :shock:
