Queens Rangers Artillery

Bought most likely 3 years ago I painted these three time, thank heavens for nitromors. The first time I knew nothing about the uniforms and I think I painted them red! Anyway I realy enjoyed painting these, I found them in my bits box in a terrible condition so a little greenstuff and a clean basecoat of chaos black and they were good to go. I used catachan green for the waistcoats with dark angels green in the recesses. I'll give a full history of these very interesting regiment in a few months when I get round to painting the whole regiment.

British Dragrope Men

These Perry British dragrope men were great fun to paint; I decided that I would paint a few of them as the New Jersey Battalion which hauled the guns at Brandywine Creek as part of Knyphausen’s Division. The poses are incredibly lifelike, I was very tempted to give them a gritty worn out look which would have suited them better I think, but I couldn’t resist leaving them with bright white overalls instead. Also with the dragrope men is an old ammunitions cart, I had found this hidden in my bits box half painted with a wheel snapped off. I stripped the paint, fixed the wheel and painted it.
