Wow!! Love the cannon. BOOM!! :-*

Beautifully painted and nice sculpts.

I love seeing artillery based as individuals and the cannon unmounted.

Excellent minis!

This line is filling out very nicely.  I think you may be very well setting the standard for this era, Nick.

Keep up the good work.

One of the top 28mm historical ranges today in my opinion. Very nice stuff!

The paint job on the figures is indeed very nice but I really like how the wood work and bronze on the artillery piece are done. It make a nice model stand out even more. Great work 8)

Thank you, I can't take the credit for the figures as they were painted by Dave.

 The gun I did with the foundry spearshaft triad for the woodwork. The bronze gun barrel was an experiment.. Black undercoat, bronze paint, chestnut ink wash, more bronze, then a gold highlight.

Do you have some suggestions Carlos? I wouldn't mind an excuse to pick some of these guys up  :D

The sculpts in your range have so much character and the paint job on the artillerymen really brings it out.  Great work on the cannon as well.   :-*
