For my Austrian army, a part of my Wars of the French Revolution project, I've been working on these limbers and caisson sets and horse teams from Perry Miniatures, with head conversions from Trent Miniatures to replace later head wear with bicornes, which I know were not worn but they speak of the period when the correct option is not available, so will do for me. The horses and riders are one piece castings, which I liked when painting the figures as the men sit correctly on their mounts, unlike separate figure and horse so often. The limbers and their horse teams are mounted on one MDF base which I sourced from Warbases, of course, but the caisson and its team are mounted on two MDF bases, making the caisson available to deploy behind the battery with the horse team to the rear. It just looks better on the tabletop I think. I showed the first limber team I'd completed in an earlier post ~
I completed the second limber team after Christmas and then the caisson team on New Year's Eve ~
Deployed for action, the battery will look like this ~
It just remains for me to wish you a very happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year ~
Looks good to me, just the ticket.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.

Thanks for the kind comment and the New Year wishes.
DeleteThey look great. I've just bought three limbers off the Perrys but might just give head swops a miss.
ReplyDeleteHead swaps were very easy! They'd have to be for 'ten thumbs Bykleigh' to do them. Have a go, go on...
DeleteNice limbers and conversions.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
