Very nicely painted but personally I can't imagine gunners operating for long in a greatcoat unless it's mid winter. Even then I would have thought shirt sleeves would be the best battle dress for working in. |

Painted up some Mini-figs years ago. I put mine in dark blue coats. Not sure if that is correct. |

Cheers guys, and yes I agree David! |

I have to say I liked these figures as they are "different" and are hardly working up a sweat. They are little folk next to the later Perry Imperial Guard gunners. I tried a head swap, but not sure the proportions worked in the end. Plus the rammer is far too short for a 12pdr of course. Good fun though! Never thought of Imperial Guard shirtsleeves artillery! Now let's see…there's the Perry….no forget it! Would they really have kept their bearskins on if they had stripped off their jackets?

Ah some challenging conversions there Liam! Yes they do look a little smaller. Guard in shirtsleeves with bearskins? Sounds good to me :) Plastic kits might have some bearskins easily available. Just posted my own guard artillery in a new thread. TMP link |
