Some guns for the Bavarians from Perry miniatures. Nice enough models, though campaign dress on some of them which I'm never a fan of. I gave them blue overcoats to make that less noticeable, though more likely they would have had grey/brown overcoats of course.
Unlike the infantry which had cornflower blue coats, the Bavarian artillery uniform was a dark blue. The guns themselves were a lighter blue-grey colour.
The howitzer crew below (right most gun), has the loader sticking his arm right down the barrel to place the charge!
Mark, well done! Very beautiful! Charger surprised))
ReplyDeleteThanks Dmitry! :)
DeleteVery nicely done Chasseur!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil!
DeleteGreat painting Mark. I'm not a fan of great coats on Napoleonic's either. Ok they're an easy paint, but why cover up those great uniforms? The blue you used on them does indeed cover them up. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, yes the cover up helped more than I expected! Perry have an annoying mix of campaign and dress uniform unfortunately!
DeleteLovely stuff Mark...inspired by your example I have just completed my first Bavarian unit.
ReplyDeleteGreat job look forward to seeing them, thanks Mark!
Deletenicely done as always! I love the howitzer charger
ReplyDeleteYes it's a nice sculpt, thanks!
DeleteI like them, Mark! Handsome work as always. I have a question on trousers. I painted mine dark blue to match the jacket. This was many years ago and perhaps I got it wrong. Were white trousers standard issue?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, if I recall correctly, earlier uniform (and perhaps winter uniform) had blue trousers, and later/summer had white overalls. In Rawkins book (History Man), I think.
DeleteHope he won't end up like the perry!
ReplyDeleteYes thought crossed my mind I must admit!
DeleteWow, these look great. The Bavarians really had smart looking uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean, yes the caterpiller helmets are quite distinctive!
DeleteGreat job on the unit, the figures really pop.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks pancerni!
DeleteVery nicely done Mark!
