I think this is my first posting/contribution in the gallery board. Want to show some Brunswick troops (Horse artillery and a line command) done a few years ago. Hope you like them. Cheers

Beautiful caisson and wagon – are they both Perry?? |

Nice looking bunch of troops, well done! |

Figures are 28mm Perry. Horses are front rank for the caisson and foundry for the gun carriage. Gun carriage and caisson are Old Glory. |

Love the caisson. That is really unusual. The harness, drag ropes etc is very convincing indeed. I am a huge fan of photo backgrounds, as in your LHS. We will ignore the diamond memorial plaque. That must have been the earlier one for Fleurus I…..must have been. Then replaced a couple of years after the battle. But you knew that! Your close up photography and colour balance is great. |

The picture with the background of LHS was actually a test based on an idea of deadhead. I used a picture of the outside wall on the Charleroi road.
@deadhead, I missed the plaque (should photoshop it next time) I wasn`t aware of the history of the plaque, thanks for that info. I try to visit once a year but mostly visit Hougoumont, Plancenoit or QB. LHS is not open for public and difficult to view from the busy road.
Thank you for the comments, should take photo`s from the whole horse battery next time. Regards |

Really nice stuff, great job. |

I finaly found the time and courage to get stuck in the settings for the camera. I put all the Horse artillery in the picture. Looks like I have to varnish them (mat) again, some have a bit of a sheen. Perry, Foundry, Front Rank and Old Glory miniatures.

Hope you like them! Regards |

Brilliant work and photography. To get that depth of focus you need a closed shutter, long exposure and massive lighting. The last will always give a sheen from the most Matt finish. The dead horse, wounded rider, tableau is really striking. |

And to finish the last units of the Brunswick contingent: Uhlans and the 1st Line Bat.
