Austrian artillerists in position complete with their cannon. Gorgeous figures from Elite Miniatures |
Just a quick post today to show the start of a couple of batteries of Austrian artillery for my 1805-07 project. As you can see it is very much a work in progress however it should all be complete by Friday night with a bit of luck and dedication.
As you can observe, I am once again using the "John Ray style" bases for my artillery and mounting them two to a base. This will be the case with all of my 1805-07 collection for uniformity and aesthetics as well as the size and scope to make the bases more dynamic.

Trying to get the positioning correct is vital with these figures as they are not the most animated. |

Elite Miniatures gun models have a look about them that just scream out " I do truly want to hurt the formations we fire upon! A couple of different paint styles here to see which I prefer. |
I now need to add some tufts of "front door mat" grass, sand, paint, dry brush and some flock to finish. I will also, as I always do these days, add a coat of gloss varnish to protect the figures followed by a healthy spray of Dulcote.
Some more completed shots over the coming week.
