British Napoleonic limbers and artillery

[Bill Slavin]

The last of my summer projects was a conversion of some left over Portuguese artillery men to Peninsular British artillery and the scratch building of a few limbers to help them along.
The figure conversions were fairly easy, using some of the fine Portuguese Hagen metal figures I had purchased earlier this year. I simply added some lace to the fronts of the jackets and cuffs, tufts on the epaulettes and a belt and satchel to a couple of the figures.
The limbers were more challenging, but fun to build. Wheels are from some old Airfix cannon, horses extras from my HaT set of French limbers and riders are from my ancient Airfix set of British horse artillery. Limber chassis I built myself. I go with two horse limbers for my games simply because they take up a more reasonable amount of real estate on my gaming table even if they are historically inaccurate.

Very nice indeed as always Bill.

Original thinking in the conversions and the painting is wonderful.

I am about to hack the Hagen Peninsular artillery up and convert them for the Quatre Bras post three PM scenes.

You have given me some ideas, so thank you.

Best wishes,

Chris

I really like your style of painting and presentation. The artillery teams are very nice and the combination of sets looks good to me as well.

Can only agree with these words.
