1889 Confederate Artillery
« on: December 06, 2011, 03:41:20 PM »


I accidentally made and painted these while working on the Martian Cavalry.

...this sort of thing happens sometimes.

I see you found another use for the wheels off the wedding carriages. At least I think thats where they're from.
This is a great job of scratch building. Barrels are inserts to use in drywall, right?
Your work always gives me ideas for scratch building..

And the boilers are little resistors or capacitors, right?


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

Capacitors, yeah.  The smokestacks are the valve bits off of butane lighters, just for completeness.

Excellent!  :-* I like the way the boiler on the right-hand-side gun appears to be lying on the trail and squinting along the barrel.  ;)

Great little cannons.
What do they shoot?
Shot, shell, or something else.

I think I've been painting one squad while you finished your Confederate artilery, cavalry, Martian flyers, tanks and got a start on your Martian cavalry. I'm still not done my squad.  :(

Beautiful as always Froggy  :D

Um.  I attach stats to them in the game and I roll dice.

I guess they shoot probabilities.  I hadn't got that far.

I know that on a misfire, that's a whole lot of superheated probability in the operators' faces.
