Here are the two remaining Union gun and limber sets from my recent purchase. I have done both of these sets as 12lb Napoleon guns.
The first set is sighting the piece.
The second one firing.
And all three sets together.
All of the Confederate sets are glued up and in the queue and should be completed by week's end.
And in the doorstep today was the first significant delivery since May...and quick too, just seven days from despatch to arrival...pretty much back to BC (Before COVID) mail times...a just in time delivery.
So what's in these two boxes of goodies?
Quite a mixed bag really...some FPW artillery (both French and Prussian), some FPW French cavalry, the command set for the Napoleonic Prussian grenadiers and the first of the Napoleonic Ottoman reinforcements.
Fine work once again Mark and good to see your lead pile has been replenished:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. They are great figures to work on. Indeed it us nice to see the stocks built up again.
DeleteLovely guns Mark. As soon as I saw the box I knew it was more Perry reinforcements. I always like the little black boxes and it always seems a pity to throw them away, but I'm never quite sure what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I put most in the recycle bin, but if you stack them inside each other and crush them together they make really good firestarters for wood fires.
DeleteGreat looking guns and crew! Two boxes of goodies from overseas is always a welcome sight on the doorstep.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. The Confederate are two thirds done now and those new figures are calling...
DeleteA very nice set of cannons.
ReplyDeleteMost any delivery is nice, but from the Perrys - awesome.
Thanks, more guns will be finished tomorrow. And the delivery was all the more pleasing because it was at a speed I was not expecting.
DeleteLovely work Mark…
ReplyDeleteIt’s good to see that your re enforcements have arrived…
For you… I imagine that’s about a weeks work 😂
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly...no my schedule has it at just over four weeks...hopefully just after the next order arrives!
DeleteOOOOHHH,
ReplyDeleteThe ACW is the best CW
especially with the artillery.
and the ACW is the best CW
with artillery so very pretty, 😁
Indeed it is the best...mind you it's the only one I collect...unless you count the Carlist War which was really a civil war, but not called that...the Confederate gunners that will be finished tonight are much more colourful with a mix of greys, browns and blues.
DeleteThe artillery look great Mark and seven days is a good transit time for sure!
