Thank you all !
Now come the work on limber, wagons and ambulance !
The base color is Tamiya XF26 deep green, covered by a black wash on the whole paint, after this come a drybrush Tamiya XF49 Khaki.
At this point it was supposed to be the last layer but I was not satisfied by the green, it wasn't exactly the right color I was looking for, so I've made more search and finally found the best green matching reality, a layer of Vallejo 70921 English Uniform (WWII) with a flat brush (drybrush) was added, not to forget the light black wash only around details and the drybrush (A mix of the 70921 green mixed with 50% of white).
Another drybrush but only on the edge to highlight them : a mix of 70921 (10%) and white (90%).
the metal parts are Vallejo 70864 natural steel, underlined with black by a thin brush.
rope and straps are vallejo 70857 pale sand with a black wash, cannonball are black whith a dark grey drybrush (Vallejo 70994).
The limber need a base, otherwise the horses can't stand properly together, it's made of a 1mm PVC sheet, painted in Tamiya brown, covered by white glue (for wood) and sand/earth, then painted in a medium brown, black wash and drybrush.
The barrel of the cannons are Vallejo 70998 Bronze
I've added 3 black wash until it's dark enough but only on details
I came back with a Vallejo 70998 bronze drybrush but only on the edges.
You will notice on the photos of the finished cannons that when you see them from the front, inside the barrel it's the Tamiya base green and not black. It's not a mistake, it's the green oxidation of the bronze caused by black powder, the real ones were like that after few days of use.
So this set is now finished, I'm already preparing the next step for this huge and time consuming project !
