To make the limbers, I used models from the French Limber set. I found zero visual reference on how the riders should dress, so I used some swedish light dragoons to play the part.
I plan to give 1 limber for each battery in my collection - a battery being 3 cannons - which means all of my previous batteries that don't already have one will eventually receive theirs.
The swedish cannons got their limbers right away, and I chose to use 4 horses to represent foot artillery and 6 for the horse artillery - a recipe I'm probably going to replicate throughout my armies.
Excellent work again Mat! I see that army growing!

Fantastic work Mat! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of Swedish artillery!
ReplyDeleteWere you able to find information about the train uniforms?
Peter, I just used the info you had on that, particularly the light blue collars. I hindsight, I guess I could have converted the light dragoon heads with the gunners' corsican hats, probably would be more accurate. Still, is hard to have much certainty with these swedish uniforms!
DeleteBy 1813, Swedes were wearing hats, Kivers, French shakos, and what have you!
DeleteVery very nice!
ReplyDeleteMost impressive and beautiful limbers, guns and gunners!
ReplyDeleteThanks, gentlemen! I'm quite happy with the result!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, incredible, wonderful as usual!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the blackened mouth of the guns, a great idea that I will copy (if I ever paint a cannon one day :)).
They look superb!
ReplyDeleteThey look incredible!
