Once more unto the breech?

We are back home from our sojourn 'Oop North with Phil and Di, so I'm once more back in action wielding the Brush of Doom over some new figures for the Wars of the Roses project. In this instance its my fourth light artillery gun and crew, from Perry Miniatures this time. Not a great deal to say about the set really, other than it depicts a breech loading piece being readied to fire ~

Next up will be a base of MAA on foot, but boasting an unusual figure amongst the more expected offerings. I'll leave that there for now until they are finished off...

I put in a small order to Perry Miniatures while we were away to bring the project to its planned conclusion, and to avoid the unwelcome declared price rise! I expect that I was not alone in putting in an order so unsurprisingly they were not delivered until this morning! Unusually for me I do think that will be that when the new figures are processed to completion...unless I see something that takes my fancy at The Other Partizan on Sunday that is!

    1. Many thanks Matt! I think I'm in sight of the finishing line, at least for now at any rate. The last of the mounted Knights/MAA are underway.
