Having received a bunch of equipment from Old Glory including rifled guns (3 inch and 10 inch), wagons and caissons, I planned to add Parrotts to both combatants arsenals. Well, other projects received the painting attention and the ACW project took to a back burner. Recreating Port Republic is still in mind and I wanted to field the proper gun models for the scenario. When will I get to creating the scenario? That answer is still unknown but I have the figures ready when my focus returns.
One of my goals for 2013 was to add to the ACW project. Finally, at the 2013 halfway point, a few models have rolled off the assembly line. To that end, I completed two supply wagons and six sections of Parrott rifles; three sections for each side. RFF requires a "Heavy Casualties" marker and I think these wagons will make adequate markers. The guns still need accompanying limbers. Limbers will be added later since I have enough limbers to field all of the guns needed for Port Republic. Perhaps, I should double check on the limber counts.
Looking very good!
ReplyDeleteG'day, David here from everythingisfairinloveandwargames.blogspot.com.au
ReplyDeleteThose cannons look awesome!
Lots of action on such a small base.
Did you have to paint some parts with a toothpick or did you have the correct sized brush?

Hi David, good to hear from you again!
DeleteNo toothpicks used and the smallest brush I typically use is either a '0' or '1'. I particularly like the Winsor & Newton Series 7 and the Raphael 8404 series.
