Just painted up a battery of French artillery. Comments and criticism welcome (especially any details I may have wrong, such as gunners standing in the wrong places.)

Nice looking batteries. I don't think anyone would have a problem with them on a later battlefield – they look too nice. Dean

Someone might say they are the most correct shade of a green.
There's a few discussions on the board about the most correct green color.

I know mine are wrong, but it hurt my brain, googling for hours, and I settled for a cheap light pine green craftstore paint.

Your grass and dirt is really nice, as well as the terrific painting.

Replace them? No way! They'd be welcome on my table.

Though they'd tower over my 15mm….

Great looking battery!!

One little bit of advice. I'd paint an iron black (or same color as the wheel tires) over the barrel trunnions. There was an iron metal strap that went over the barrel trunnions to keep the barrel from jumping off the carriage when the gun fired.
