28mm French Napoleonic Artillery

 Hello There! With more time spent at work recently I have been unable to finish much from the painting table. Here is one item that has been completed.




This battery is intended for part of the Maida project, hence the small Wargames Foundry 4lb gun. The figures are also Foundry. Because this will be used in wargaming I have replaced the white metal rammer with a brass wire and the trail spike was added to an open handed figure. It was made from a thicker piece of brass wire hammered flatter at one end.

The long yellow grass is made by rolling 6mm long static grass between my fingers and after levelling one end planting it in a dab of PVA. The long green grass is coconut hair broom bristles cut to length and planted into the wet water resistant tile adhesive before covering in stones, grit and gravel.
