Absolutely magnificently painted! My only "stick in the eye" is that the blue coats match the cannon carriages. My understanding the guns would be lighter or the jackets darker….
and
the metal work on the wheel ODs would be bear with some rust/dirt and not the carriage color. MG |

Beautiful! Question. Would the gun carriage wheels have metal rims, or would they be wooden as they appear to be in the photos? |

Very nicely done. I will agree with Marshal Greg and Estrabio1947. The Prussian blue should be a little darker. Wheel fittings should be metal, unless Prussia was some exception I'm unaware of. |

Good work on those. Wheels as far as I know should have iron bands and interesting on carrage color but in no way criticism just seems to me to be no color consensus for Prussians. |

Rafa does excellent work. However I agree the wheel rims should be metal, and the guns wood lighter blue. Here are my examples. [URL=http://s219.photobucket.com/user/tjm3/media/Calpe%20Prussians/IMG_8047.jpg.html]

Lovely paintwork but wheels would have metal rims |

Thank you for sharing Rafa – I love to see your figures, I'm not jealous at all – well maybe just a little bit … What is your method for getting such great skin tone ? It's perfectly blended yet the contrast is magnificent Incidentally, I noticed that the third gunner from the left had one of his buttons painted in the wrong colour – I will expect you to repost when you have re-painted the whole battery :) Thanks John |

Many thanks for the comments and your clarifications! ;-)
The blue of the canons is lighter blue in the hand that in the picture. @jwebtster
