Based the Cuirassiers this morning,  started on the final 8 guns I have. Unfortunately I need 10 to do the complete First Western Army, so will be short a Horse artillery unit.  :'(

Going to make up a few climbers so I can represent horse artillery units - I put 3 guns in a unit; this fits perfectly with Blucher,  as you can attach artillery to units, or combine 3 Artillery into one base.

Need to see what I have left over, so I can work out what I need for the Second Western Army.

Advice please

I am making up a few limbers (as per above spelling mistake). Before I have glued the horses direct to the long pully stick thing - would there be a better method?

It's what I do - I'm sure there should be some harnesses etc, but at this scale it feels unnecessary

Had a look at previous limber in Austrian army.
4 horses, rear right glued on limber, left a bit away, front horses in line, but limber doesn't reach them.

5 limbers done, enough for 5 units of horse artillery, I think (hope) that will cover 2nd Western as well when I do them.


Next day or so paint up some generals for some command bases.

But Last Hussar likes to come on the forum and tell us how making 385 Czakpa's and pennants is making his eyes go more squiffy.

it also keeps him busy and stops him getting into trouble. Also what else would he do with the taxpayer provided printer and photocopier at work?
