New from Black Hussar Miniatures

New from the very talented team at Black Hussar: a 3-pounder section of M1746 'Beauvrye's,  designed by GM Leonard von Beauvrye as battalion guns. Comes complete with 5 gunners in various positions. Also featured, a Military Chaplain. All are excellent sculpts and very compatible with the rest of my Foundry Prussian Army.

These figures were painted for me by Leuthen Studios.

Austrian Napoleonic Ordnance

I recently painted one of the very nice 28mm artillery models from Leopold Diez. These are very hard to find outside of Germany. This is my attempt to produce the yellow-ochre colour used by Austria. It is washed in Seraphim Sepia from Citadel to both shade and darken the ochre.

I was trying to match the Caisson painted for me by Leuthen Studios who also painted the 6-horse team and the Perry 6 pounder and crew.

Dr Stephen Summerfield has just posted on TMP that the ochre is correct but the barrels should be unpolished bronze metal.
