Wow your output is impressive! Very inspiring great tutorial! |

Nicely done!! I've been doing the same thing with Calpe Prussians 12 Guns a few months ago and 10 just recently. |

Excellent, thanks. At the inking stage, do you dilute the ink at all? |
| mysteron | 28 Jan 2015 4:15 a.m. PST |
Excellent :) I wish I could match your output though without losing the quality of finish |

Cheers all. @wrgmr1 Yes those Calpe figures are lovely, might have to add a few of those to my French (and eventual Prussians). No dilution to the ink normsmith, but a bit of care is taken to make sure it doesn't pool in unnatural places on the barrel. |

Hi, Impressive work there! I'm just starting some Bavarian limbers and encouraged by how quickly and well you've done your Austrians. Inspirational. Cheers, Paul |

Thinking about those horse guns, is it definite that the wurst stayed on the gun during action? I ask as my guns, from HaT in 1/72, include a piece to show the ammunition underneath the wurst when it is removed. Hope someone (vonWinterfeld) can provide some definitive guidance. As to the OP – love the colour – very Austrian. I shall try to replicate it on mine. |

Terrific. Interested you have gone in reverse to my practice. I sprayed black and then gun colour, but I did have a grey spray lying around and some British limbers….so I though try it other way around. Not convinced, I think your new best. Interesting comment about basing the figures. Obviously four to a gun is daft, but all we can manage. The firer position (side) varies with nation. Spongeman/rammer always to right of gun as it faces forward, then loader obviously to left. The challenge is to get some sense into the mixed figures. So, if a rammer at work, you need the guy with the thumbstall serving the vent, not a guy holding a match to it! Don't have fellows using hnadspikes just as it is fired etc……… Terrific work and the colour is marvellous |
