Fabulous Richard. Worthy of a magazine cover.
Love the conversions and the off-white tones too.
Not too sure that Charles, having spent the equivalent of a small fortune on state-of-the-art artillery, would allow them to go that rusty! (although I do love the rusted iron effect that you've achieved)!!  ;)

Awaiting for my mag to arrive with baited breadth....

Amazing work, but I would bet that Gendarme is going to find himself lying on the ground when that bombard goes off!

Charles Temeraire would become Charles Derriere quite quickly !!  Beautiful work and I think in the world of modelling you are allowed some tongue in cheek and artistic licence if it enhances the overall effect!  :D

Very nice indeed, and a clever justification for painting the colours on the mantlet the wrong way around. You almost had me convinced lol lol

Wonderful work.

I keep looking for an excuse to buy one of them but, for the rules we're using, I've already got far more guns that we're ever going to use. It's just that it looks SO nice. :D

I've had my bombard sitting in a box for two years now... reckon its gonna stay there a bit longer after this.

Brilliant work, can't praise it highly enough.  :-*

The arse-scratching labourer is actually one of my favourite figures ever, I love the "christ, my poor back" of him. I don't recognise the sitting chap though - have the twins snuck out another cannon while I wasn't looking?

EDIT: Yeah, never mind, I'm an idiot. He's from the same pack.  ::)

Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.
