My friends and family have often chided me about my obsession with artillery. Well, it is a Napoleon trait. However, Frederick was rather proud of his artillery train also. Coming from a family of Royal Artillerymen it must be in the DNA.
The painting of all this metal is the work of Leuthen Studios, many originals by Yanni himself. The models are mostly Berliner Zinnfiguren and Dietz models, the best in my opinion, plus the excellent and highly recommended new 3-pounder M1746 'Beauvrye'-design by Black Hussar.
