Royal Navy and Maori artillery for the colonial NZ Wars

[Arteis]

I’ve just completed basing my 28mm artillery for the colonial New Zealand Wars.  

One of the guns is a huge naval 32-pounder that has been dragged miles inland into the bush and placed on a roughly-constructed wooden platform, to pound a Maori pa into submission.

Meanwhile, the Maori themselves have got a captured carronade with which to return fire on the British camp, using any old iron as ammunition.  The gun is mounted on a wooden slide, secured with blocks and tackle to a couple of handy tree stumps.

Below are a couple of sample pics from my Dressing The Lines blog (more pics on the blog itself at: http://arteis.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/basing-royal-navy-and-maori-artillery-for-colonial-nz-wars/ )

Hi Arteis,

Excellent work on your artillery pieces, great detailing!

I like Empress Miniatures stuff, I just got some of their Zulu Wars British line infantry.

Cheers

Very nice. Great to see some NZ action. Like the Empress sailors - I am thinking about using them for US equivalents for Seminole war.

Fantasic stuff, i have a great interest in this period and am building up a large army to create a tabletop battle.
Well done thanks for posting
