Here is the progress so far
These are 5 command teams and 3 crews for cannons.

Speaking of cannons I have my barrels done, still testing some colors for the rest of the guns.

Last are 2 guns on test bases, just to see if the colors work the real bases will have more stuff on them like bushes and fallen trees etc

Really nice stuff there. :)

I take it the barrels are loose so the carriage can be painted without risk of getting any on that gorgeous metal work?

Looking great Harold - the bronze for your cannons has a lovely rich tone to it!!

The artilleryman's colours are pretty much spot on i think. If you look closely there is a thin cord running over the top of the cross belt which i think was red - or seems to be in this pic anyway.

@ Sean: yes the barrels are stil loose :D

@ Goat Major
: thanx for the link, i kinda guest what they would look like.
i wasnt sure about the rim on the hat white or yellow.

the bronze is actualy quite easy to do, first i use a black primer.
the base coat is vallejo game color Brassy Brass followed by a wash of GW Ogryn Flesh.
than you highlight only the top of the gun with a 3 to 1 mix of vallejo game color Brassy Brass and vallejo game color Glorius Gold.
finaly a coat of glossy varnih
