GUARD ARTILLERY FINISHED AT LAST

Two updates in a month, whatever next – a finished unit!  Well that is in fact what has happened, the gunner featured in the last few entries has been completed.  The rammer was painted using a base coat of Vallejo German C Black (822) a very dark brown, a highlight of Vallejo Beige Brown (875) and a final highlight of Vallejo Light Brown (929).  For the flesh I like to use the Foundry three colour flesh pallet which I have found to be very effective. The buttons, sword scabbard, sword hilt and belt buckles were all painted using Vallejo Gold (996).
 
The remaining figures of the Battery were all painted using the same technique and based up on 60mm x 70mm MDF bases for my prefered rule system - General De Brigade.

    You finished them off fast.
