American Civil War - The Regiment from country roads West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Cannons thousands of them!
I used the artillery crews as a trial for my colour scheme and I pretty much kept my original choices, one thing I added was a red just for the artillery crews hats. I also choice not to paint buttons… I know the horror!
The cannons I painted black mixed with leadbelcher metallic to for the rifled barrells and brass for the smoothbore. The red wheeled cannons I later found I had painted very similar to the Matthew, Mark, Luke and John cannnons from Jacksons Brigade as shown in the film God’s and Generals. So happy days! if anyone asks it was intentional.
I never enjoyed basing and usually stop at this point, but finally! I found a method I enjoy and like the look of. I base coat the bases brown and from OTT store I bought some grit and fine green flock and the result to me looks like beaten grass with a few rocks added for good measure.
Epic early war artillery and crews @glenn92!
