AB French Line Foot Artillery

Just completed these guys in record time, the blue coats were easy to paint as where the crossbelts. You may notice a French line horse battery lurking among the foot. The first picture is a shot of the back of my head (thanks to my daughter Sarah) and you can just see me clutching a lollipop stick of figures. The batteries are mainly 6lb's but two are howitzers and two are 12lb(the 12lbs are seen in the last two photos).

    Hi Paul,

    I paint the the barrel dark brown and dry brush with a mix Vallejo Gold and Bronze in equal parts.

    Then add a black wash and after matt varnish apply gloss to barrel.

    Cheers

    Ken

    Hi Ken,
    Good tips, I didn't even think of using dark brown as an undercoat, gold and bronze always look good on dark brown too and a gloss varnish. I'll have to try these out.
    Thanks
    Paul
