The guns are from Warmodelling and were painted in a 50/50 mix of Ochre Verde (Vallejo) and Yellow, then given a light wash of GWs Agrax Earthshade. The crew are a mix of Warmodelling and Blue Moon artillery figures. The uniform of the Artillery of this period seems to be contentious, especially the colour of the coats. I've given them a worn earthy brown colour and varied the shades between some of them to give them a campaign look. Hopefully is close enough to be reasonable accurate.

Hi Colin,
These are very nice. I have a battery of BH Austrians on the painting table - and they are a bit small and unsatisfying (nothing I can put my fingers on - just a bit boring).
You did a good job on your OG Line Infantry too - I got a bag of those from eBay and sold them on as I hated the sculpting so much!
I don't seem to be able to "follow" your blog except by email. I think you need to update your settings?

Thanks for the feedback Malc. I don't have any of the BH Austrians due to the size, but I can recommend Blue Moon. I'll be getting some Campaign Miniatures artillery figures as some point.
I'm not to happy with the OG figures either. I don't think its a sculpting issue, more that the masters are losing definition, especially on details like the cross belts etc.
I am aware of the "follow" issue. I have another blog that seems to be fine for followers. I've made some changes so hopefully you can follow now.
