Got a few more bits over the line for my Great Northern War project. Pictures and quick write up on the blog.

I've paid the Saint to break in and steal that gun! |

Nicely done!
I do have one question, as I am about to paint up several guns for my own Saxons.
The sources state that Saxon gun carriages were painted black with their metal fittings being painted yellow. I see you left the metal "tire" of the wheel black. I've seen other Saxon artillery painted with it yellow as well. Is there any special reason you left it black, or was it just an aesthetic choice? Again, it looks nice, and I'm certainly not nit picking or second guessing you. I'm just curious. |

Hi Martin Not at all, this reflects the images I have seen. I have photographs of Saxon guns with the tyres black and the rest yellow, Most of the sources I have seen for artillery for all nations have the tyres black and fittings painted so this is my go to paint design. See below. [URL=http://s574.photobucket.com/user/rogercas/media/GNW/saxon%20gun_zpsqvgv53aw.jpg.html]

Fantastic. Thanks for the images. I'll keep those as a guide when I start on my guns in a day or two! |
