ACW Union Artillery Battery Done

Preview pics (additional pics on the blog):

Very nice  :) :) :)

What did you use for the base of the 6 horse team, limber and gun?
I used thin sheet steel reinforced with Foundry 100mm steel pikes.

And the extra limbers with the deployed guns? Checked your blog - Perry plastics.............

I had a crazy moment and added all the connecting harness chains .......

These are lovely, really nice clean looking paint job, my eye is drawn to the painting on the limbers for some strange reason lol.

LOVELY! tight paintjob. I would add some grass tufts and clump foliage to the bases, but that's just me :-) I am still undecided what to do with the limbers myself. AFAIK, limbers were seldom separated from the horse teams (pretty dangerous with the enemy in close proximity)
