Blather, Waffle and Poppycock!

[fred.]

Great stuff, a formidable force!

Is there a reason you only have 1 limbered gun per battery?

[fsn]

Yeah. I need to get some more guns. 

OK. So the project isn't quite finished.

[fred.]

But they will look better, with each limber with its own gun. And just a few guns will be quick to paint - its the crews and the horses that take the time.

[fsn]

Blame Pendraken.

They sell guns in 3's and limbers in 2's.

I do plan to upgrade - the Brits are 100% gunned. I hear tell Pendraken are going to do some cassions.

I'll pass the buck to the size of the moulds, we can't squeeze that 3rd limber and team into a 9" mould sadly...!

There are some caissons planned at some point, one of our customers has taken the lead with that.

Fsn, a very impressive force

I'm making do with some ACW Napoleons - single trail, but I want to get them unlimbered as quickly as possible. 

I think I'll invest in some Austrian gun/limber combos. I can use the guns as limbered, and the horses to add to horse teams.

Nice army Nobby.  I havve two 15mm  1815 armies to paint hats are still in the box after 30+ years.  I cannot get my head around painting them. One day perhaps

Indeed they are well done! So much work. I have always liked the Bavarians. Not sure why I thought you did not use flock then I remembered you don't use base embellishments. Shrubs, stones, fireplugs, that sort of thing.

Still, the vast array of enemies of the French that you have done forces the questions, Will there be French? Will you spray paint 20,000 figures in blue, then put a white "X" on the front and back of each? Will there be a 'Year of the French'? Will I be alive to see it?

Today I am celebrating my renewed retirement and harassing Mi'lord Runcorn is one of the simple pleasures I have missed!

[paulr]

Enjoy the renewed retirement d_Guy

And harassing Nobby

[d_Guy]

Ta, Paul 

[Westmarcher]

Happy renewed retirement! 

Great looking force there, Stewart.    
(what colour did you use for your gun carriages and limbers?)

[fsn]

Happy retirement D-Guy.

@Westie I used Vallejo 70.901 Pastel Blue.   

[Orcs]

Happy Retirement d_Guy. Can't wait to get there myself.

[Westmarcher]

@Westie I used Vallejo 70.901 Pastel Blue.   

Thanks. I'll look out for that one. I tried Vallejo 70.907 Pale Grey Blue but somehow it looks too pale. 

[d_Guy]

Thanks again for the good wishes. I had been retired, then not, now back into the blessed condition. 

[Steve J]

Well done on your 2nd retirement!

[Orcs]

Well done on your 2nd retirement!

TWO retirements! No wonder I am still waiting for mine, if people keep jumping the que for seconds
