Hello all,
Does anyone know did they paint the artillery carriages? If so was there any specific colors that countries would use?
Any info is appreciated.
Thank you

TYW is the period of formation of a professional army with weapons and a uniform shape. However, by the same coloring artileriyskih carriages I have never met. Most likely it was unpainted wood.
Here is an example paint guns Scottish mercenaries in the Swedish service which I did.

What material is that barrel supposed to be made of? |

Surely the carriages would have been painted to protect the wood. I painted my ECW carriages in various colours – reds, blues, greens, greys and tans. No one has argued with that so far. |

AussieAndy I to would have thought that the gun carriages were protected somehow whether it was with linseed oil or paint. All the effort and cost into making a cannon and carriage one would think they would somehow protect the wood from rot and insects.
Would the red lead, white lead, Orche, or Blue colors have been around at this time? I know all these colors were used during the WSS.
Noss thank you for the link very informative! Thank you Militia appreciate the post! |
