British Artillery - Limbers and Gun Teams
At long last I have completed the British artillery by adding two limbers and a second gun. The limbers and horse teams took a while to assemble and paint, but the result was worth while. Here are the teams, the guns, with their newly appointed commander, a Strelets plastic figure:
Fantastic job on those artillery teams/crews. Been following all of your recent posts and I'm amazed how quickly you are painting these units! Great project.

I agree with Lee - great job and am in awe at the speed of painting!
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed at my ignorance, but were the British limbers the same as during the Napoleonic Wars, or were they now more like (for want of a better simile) ACW limbers? Were the Russians, Turks, and French using ACW-type limbers?

They were of a different design - there is a good photograph taken by Roger fenton of the British artillery park that shows these limbers.

What brand are the guns, limbers and artillery crews? Douglas?
