British Royal Artillery Battery

Posted by Waterloo on 20 Nov 2013, 02:12

Here are some photos of my recently completed British Royal Artillery Battery for my Waterloo diorama.

These figures are painted to represent Major Rogers' Brigade of Royal Artillery at Waterloo.

The Brigade consisted of five - 9 pounders and one - 5.5 inch howitzer, formed into 3 Companies of two guns each.

This Brigade was formed just east of the Elm Tree, in support of Kempt's British Infantry Brigade. It was heavily engaged during the attack of D'Erlon's Corps, specifically firing on Quiot's columns as they attacked La Haye Sainte.

The mounted figure is painted to represent Major Rogers, with his Brigade Sergeant-Major close by.

These figures are all Revell, with the exception of the mounted officer and , which is a conversion from Italeri parts.

I have not painted any of the limbers or ammunition wagons yet, but they are on the way.

Cheers

I just love the sight of several cannons lined up for action (pity they are made for killing...). Good job in painting all those small details in the uniforms! One thing you might try is also to shade and highlight when painting, makes miniatures look more "alive". Took a long time until I started doing that, but it's worth it.

These look very nice indeed! :thumbup:

I'm in the process of painting my box of these figures. Will post them at some point in 2014!

I do enjoy it when an old post that I have not seen is 'bumped' to the top. These all look good.
