In conjunction with Peter Johnson at Spencer Smith Miniatures, I have been developing a limber to go with the ACW artillery piece that is already available in the range. The basis for this project is the horse and musket era limber that has recently been added to the Spencer Smith catalogue.
The main differences are that I have four horses rather than two, I have used larger gun wheels on the limber and have added some hand rails. Peter has also sculpted some outriders, which I have added.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the results and these limbers (I have to construct five more) will add interest to games.
Very nice looking , this range has been lacking this - good job !.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am hoping that next year will see some more items added to the range to fill in some of the gaps.
DeleteA very nice looking limber and gun.
ReplyDeleteIt has been absent from the range for too long. Peter has also added a tricorne era team to the Spencer Smith range.
DeleteExcellent looking piece, well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I will be doing the confederate version soon.
DeleteThis must be a significant piece; from memory the guns were quite large. Having said that, the figures probably fit with today’s 28mm figures so the table footprint must be the same! Lovely bit of kit and soooooo shiny.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite large. The footprint is around 8 inches long. So a unit of three guns will take up one 2ft of road when in column. Limbers always get in the way when playing games - as they did in real life.
