Strange to say I have the 'other one' on my painting desk at the moment, but I'm trying to finish the mounted officer set first. ;)

Lovely work.

Funny how the size of the carriage really makes that 7 pounder look like a little 'pop-gun'.

Mine too. Looks spot-on when compared to pics of existing guns and paintings in Ospreys etc.

that's why I ask, maybe my screen is greenish
But I like the greenish colour, I don't care whether it's authentic or not
