Sorry for my lack of activity around the blogging world. I've kept myself busy painting my toys. Had a wee break from Napoleonics and did a number of 28mm War of the Roses figures from front rank, excellent figures and loads of fun. However I'm back to Napoleonics and I've finished a few bits for my Prussian army.
1st items I've finished are a couple of AB foot artillery limbers and guns. I've now complete 4 of the 6 AB and Bluemoon artillery vehicles I started.
For the uniform blues I have moved over from foundry to Andrea and Vallejo paints and I'm really enjoying the blends they are giving me. The Andrea blues in particular you give a lovely mat finish and mixed with the Vallejo blues give some lovely rich blues.
Goes without saying how lovely the AB Prussian artillery drivers, limber and guns are. Lots of detail to paint and very enjoyable.
I messed up when purchasing my Prussian limbers long ago, only buying heavy limbers (4) and no regular limbers 😊 however I'm not gonna order anymore, I don't think anyone would really notice or care if I have heavy limbers towing medium guns. Anyhow I'll continue to plug on with the collection. I have 2 Prussian caissons to finish off that are already based up and 50% painted and I've also completed a reserve battalion that I'll share soon.
Hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying our hobby.
All the best and happy wargaming!!!

Paul those limbers are simply superb - well done!
Beautiful work Paul!
Superb limbers and teams, Paul!
Excellent work on the Prussians Paul! The Saxons look great too.
Top notch job as always...
Fantastic!
Agreed with the previous comments. Great stuff! You can't go wrong with Saxons, and there is something especially fascinating about limbers and other vehicles and teams of horses in miniature. I could look at photos of these items all day. The new colors are indeed wonderfully rich.
Best Regards,

I don't know, using the wrong limbers. It's just a small step to Napoleonic zombies then your lost. lol. Great stuff Paul.
Great work Paul. Such a high standard of craftsmanship.
Quick question…I'm doing a Bavarian battery and wondered if a Prussian limber and caisson would be appropriate? (I'm more restricted with 20mm) Or perhaps an Austrian limber and Prussian caisson….I'm uncertain which would be best? Hope you can help? Francis.
Love the limbers - in fact the heavy ones had more battlefiueld presence - they're better.
The limbers look very business like!
Beautiful work yet again Paul!

Looking good as always! i must admit I do like the Vallejo paints. I took a break from Napoleonics for a while too, hope to get back into it again soon. thanks for the continued inspiration.
Gorgeous battlefield eye candy. Good to have your blogs back, YouTube doesn't let you salivate over individual photos in the same way :-)
Great squared additions to your army Paul. Great to have these models in your army and great quality of work on the models.
Salute

Great Stuff Paul, the problem is you just get the rest of us wanting to copy this sort of thing when we've already got enough to do!
Thanks very much VB, oh it's the same with everyone. I'm seeing austrians, Russians and so many more painted up online that have me itching 😊
Thanks very much VP, it's good to have them finished off. Nice pieces all round.
Very kind of you Ru, need to sort out my progress on blogger. I have a few more items to post up.
Thanks very much Colbourne, yeah we all need a little naps break now and again. Thanks for your kind words!!!
Thanks very much Chridtopher, sorry I've not been around the blogosphere much, yourself and Giles were a big part in getting me into the blogging world.
Thank Ken, how are you doing???
Thanks Able Brush, I'll keep that in mind. Sounds a good excuse for me to use Re their presence over light limbers
Thanks Francis, to be honest I can't rememberemember on bavarians it's been so long since I started my project. I remember that after the 1809 campaign bavaria was gifted acomplete set of Austrian artillery caissons but wouldn't have been throughout their artillery arm. I think I converted an austrian limber for mine but it was so long ago I cant remember what they are like. Sorry
Lol this maybe true, slippery slope! Thanks!
Thanks very much Mr Stokes, I've always loved the look of little gun. Stems from ship models as a kid. Something cute about them.
Thanks very much James, very kind!
Thanks Phil, much appreciated!!!
Thanks Rodger! I need to get more of the men in white finished 😑
Thankyou veey much Peter, hope you prussians are coming on well !!!
Thanks very much Mark, been enjoying your badener!
Thanks very much Ian, lots more to do too. Very nice mix of AB and Bluemoon.
Hi Francis, I asked on the napoleonic wargamer website for you. The chaps push towards Franznap for conversion possibilities from french. I think they do separate heads. There were mentions of British royal hors artillery limber with austrian guns. I'll get a copy of the text for you and post it here. If your on facebook you could join "the napoleonic wargamer" group and see the posting.
Thanks Paul. That is very helpful. Sounds fairly flexible…so long as it looks good! Yours always do!
Best wishes.
