Nice. I didn't know that the French use white tack.
I've been scratch building my limbers for years now. I got the Osprey book on artillery equipment and some other references.
Got some Plastruct pieces, stretched sprue, twisted wire (yep, with a drill), and a bunch of wheels from my old 25mm days. Takes about an hour to fabricate any limber or caisson. I've done French (the easiest), Prussian, and British. Also scratched built gun carriages for all of the extra gun barrels you get with the Victrix plastic artillery sets. The British come with lots of extra wheels for their limbers.
It's surprisingly easy.
I will try to post some pics later. Oh, ya; a lot of manufactures sell just limber horses. |

Interesting, yes please do post some pics d88mm. |

That's very handy especially as I bought a couple of Perry Austrian limbers at Salute… |

The first pic has 2 British homemade limbers. They're the grey ones pulling the ammo chests.
The other pics have some of my 28s.
The two Prussian ones are scratch, as are all three French. I think, one may be purchased.
The big box shows a bunch of my stuff; horses awaiting assignment, limbers needing attention, etc.

Excellent thanks for posting those! What manufacturer(s) are the limber teams do you know? |

Admire the scratchbuilding – very useful tutorial on the adding rope. I also love the depth of shade and highlight on the French Limbers @Markconz |

The French ones are Perry, the British ones are Front rank. |

Hi Markconz, As a limber fan I was most impressed with what you've done. The rope idea is inspirational and I'll give it a try. Cheers, Paul |
