Not award winners but I'm happy with them

Huh, never seen bases on artillery like that before, makes the miniatures look enormous to me at least. I like em!

Cool looking stuff. Nice job. Bob

Thank you, gents. The bases are Wargames Accessories galvanized steel, 1 inch wide by 2 inches deep. This works for my 2/3 scale Volley & Bayonet, Fire & Fury etc, and Bloody Big Battles. I also put them on magnetic sabots for One Hour Wargames and others. French artillery should be up in a few days, though Thursday is game night…

Cool. I wish I'd kept all my 15mm FPW armies from 15 years ago. Now, everything is 28mm! I have to take all my figures to a local convention next month and the figures alone are going to weigh 70-80 pounds in painted lead! Ugh, wish I had my 15's!

And are they standing on a custom battle mat of pleasing hue?

They are on the eastern part of my Waterloo mat, painted on canvas per my wife's suggestion. The rest of the mat is groaning with toys, French and Allied.

Nice work. I've painted up quite a few Old Glory15s Prussian batteries myself. Since they don't offer limbers for your guns, which manufacturer are you considering? I've used Essex, which match OG15s pretty well. More recently, I purchased QRF (Freikorps 15s) limbers for my 15mm OG15s Austrians.
