Artillery

I’ve had a bit of time to get on with the project, a bit of painting and a bit of modelling.

The limber for the Front Rank cannon is now in pretty good shape. I had to base the horse and then base the partially painted limber in order to accurately match up the straps and chains of the harnesses.

I have started varnishing the four figures that will complete this vignette, two of which are attired in the azure and murrey livery of Edward IV.

I’ll probably add a couple of tools to the limber platform. The crew figures will walk alongside.

The cannon and limber with the assembled cannons at the rear.

  1. Very nice! I've been putting off painting my similar limber for too long... I really like how you've put yours together.,

    1. Thank you! That is gratifying since your blog has provided information and inspiration for this model. In due course I plan to model a ‘butterfly’ limber like yours, too. I have a spare cannon, just need to buy the Perry set.
