I agree this is a superb colour and my favourite

Thanks lads.
Still not really sold on the Fireforge horses... The hindquarters look okay, but the shoulders are far too broad and lumpy... Still, it's only a one-off...

Anyway, I've painted the first of my four gun crews. I was going to do all my gunners in civvies, since these chaps were by and large not liveried retainers, but the original private security contractors - master craftsmen of the artillerist's art, who provided their services to the highest bidder...

On the other hand, that would look quite dull...

So I've gone for new unaligned liveries instead... I think these boys must come from Brighton... Or maybe France

Anyway, as mentioned, some of the Perry artillery crew figures are not entirely to my liking, so my crews are a mix of a few of the artillery figures, plastics, and the new labourers gang, which are rather nice... Although having been painting the plastics for the last few weeks, I'd forgotten how crudely done some of the metal faces are...
I do wish Michael Perry would pay a bit more attention to them

Wow, very nice! I love the bright colours!

I love that gun and crew set.

I would never have dared to use those colours but they work very well.

I will have to order some of those labourers now.

Brighton you say? I wonder why

They do look rather spiffing though

cheers

Those labourers look great, I especially like the chap with the spade, he looks contented with his lot.
