Excellent work, I’ve recently started a British Napoleonic army and have watched a number of your videos. I wondered if you could post what paints you used for the cannon and more particularly the blue wood work?

@CullodenPaintingStudio 3 года назад

Sure. I primed the cannon with Army Painter Wolf Grey, picked out the ironwork with Vallejo Model Color Black Grey. The barrel is Vallejo Model Color Bronze. I washed the carriage with Army Painter Dark Tone and drybrushed with old GW Space Wolves Grey. Vallejo Game Color Wolf Grey is a modern equivalent. The barrel was washed with Army Painter Strong Tone and drybrushed Vallejo Model Color Brass.

@Roll-Some-Dice 3 года назад

That’s brilliant thanks for sharing 👍

May I ask what colors you used for the gun carriage? Looks great.

Thank you. After posting the question I did some research and found AP Wolf Grey primer. Thank you for confirming that. For one or two pieces I’m not sure a can is worth it so perhaps just the bottle. Great work!

I think the wheel diameter dimensions of the artillery are slightly too large for actual scale. Not an expert on Napoleonic British Foot Artillery but I suspect this is a minor issue. See Perry Miniatures metal Foot and contemporary paintings & drawings of said guns. But overall a very nice set. Victrix overall do very nice accurate figures and the figures themselves in this set are very nicely done. I like the variety of the set overall and I don't regret getting them myself either. Nice video

@CullodenPaintingStudio 2 года назад

Thanks. The size of gun carriages and the like does vary between manufacturers. My Front Rank french carriages are super chunky! I guess I see mine as playing pieces rather than scale models so I'm easy!

@simonbishop4160 2 года назад

@@CullodenPaintingStudio Had another look in detail at the Guns for British foot artillery and there is a British Napoleonic 9 pounder gun in the Royal Artillery museum at Woolwich with what appears slightly larger wheels than the Royal Horse Artillery 9 pounder limber wheels. So Victrix may not be out of scale after all ?

@joelshort2907 3 года назад

You mentioned the difficulty of magnetising the gun itself - would it be possible to magnetise the gun-and-carriage section as a whole, so you have the gun and its immediate carrier as one piece, then the rest of the carriage - axle, ammo boxes, trail - as a separate one?

@CullodenPaintingStudio 3 года назад

Hmm, now that I think about it, gluing the carrier to the barrel, and magnetising the barrel and carriage would work. Might give it a try when I do another gun.
