It's the little things that make them amazing, like painting the ropes on the limbers, nobody ever does that, beautifully done. |

Once again, tremendous output and great painting! |

Beautiful painting and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing. General question, were artillery tools (rammers, etc.) left as natural wood or were they painted to match the carriage color? I always default to a wood/brown color but am now wondering if the color of artillery carriages, limbers and metal work was "regulated," why not the color of the hand tools? |

I always think that paint is not just for decoration or recognition of nationality. It helps preserve wood. So I always paint French gunners' wooden handled tools in the appropriate green. But we all know how quickly one's US Army folding shovel suffers wearing away of the paint to reveal the wooden base. Well mine did anyway. So both apply I think. Paint and exposed wood. Whatever looks best and that includes black wheel rims and metal work on any vehicle (however wrong in reality) |

I choose wood due to the wear n tare on such things, but I'm sure they were painted in the same colour as the guns. |

Prodigious output and excellent quality on display. I paint wheel rims in black with mud on top to reflect the wrought iron used for wheel rims at the time. Nice to see some handlanger chaps in there too. Best wishes, Chris |
