Looking good. Nice painting Svennn. So, how these artillery crew compare with their infantry on the table? Is the different style of sculpting really that noticeable once painted?
-
The battery looks great!!!
-
SPLENDID!!! :-*
-
Very pretty toys 8)
-
Nicely done but still no trunnion caps on the guns! :(
-
That is fantastic! It certainly is light years beyond what I am capable of.
-
:-*
Super job Svennn!
Those are Ace!
-
excellent !!!!!!!!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Those are really well done, Svennn, excellent painting and I do like the basing. Though somehow I expected more.... lol
I am getting more and more tempted by this range of figures. Its partly your fault, but still, keep it up its inspiring!
-

Sorry I'm late, been a bit busy. ;)
Very, very nice, I like the uniform colours, they all work really well together, especially against the blue/grey gun carriages. ;D
-
Excellent work old chap. you have made Robs figures come alive.
-
Really nice - they have great character. Some bushy mustaches in that lot. :)

It is becoming harder to resist! Those paint jobs are lovely. Just curious, were brass guns history by the mutiny? I only ask because I hate trying to paint iron barrels. I can never get them to look right.
-
These are great, lovely painted.
Can I ask, what colours were used for the guns? I have recently purchased some sets of paints from Foundry, because I was after that blue grey colour for my own guns, but I have only ended up with lot of rgey colours that doesn't have that blueish taint.
I don't know if it is the pictures cheating me, but after looking at other peoples guns, I bought both the Foundry stone colour set and the british gun grey set, but when I crack the pots and paint with them they are only grey.
:? Help

thanks chaps.
I will admit to being uncertain about mixing the sculptors too but am now actually happy I took the plunge as I enjoyed doing them and quite like them.

possibly more accurate in fact but I fancied the look of iron against the grey/blue more than brass. Just like the yellow stripes on the one crews kecks ;)

Yes, and what colour did you use for the blue/grey? :)
-
Thanks Svennn. You just made it that much easier for me to give in to my temptations! ;)
Jonas, I obviously don't know what color he used, but if you have access to Vallejo paints look for a color called Oxford Blue. It is a very grey-ish blue. It is probably too blue on it's own, but might make a good starting place or something to tint your Foundry paints with.

Your post was not there when I started typing my last reply - I wasn't ignoring you - honest!
I was recently very impressed by YankeePedlars guns and equipment so was very disappointed when I found I did not have the Foundry Stone paints he used.
So I mixed the colours. All three are in fact different which goes to show it is not a vital mix ratio as it is not immediately apparent. For the first I mixed Foundry Deep Blue light (20c) with CDA Field Blue 518 (which is a darkish Grey) for the basecoat and then added white for the subsequent layers. On the second I used the same blue but added CDA Sea Grey 507 which has a more green tinge and the third was a mix of all three.
Hope that helps.

No problem, thanks for the reply :)
I actually went and bought the Foundry stone colours, but to me they are just grey with no blue in them, so either it is a trick of the photo or maybe they changed their colours at some point, I don't know.
Well, I guess I have to just try my luck in mixing or keep looking for a suitable colour.
thanks.
