28mm British Foot Artillery (Elite Miniatures)

28mm, Artillery, British, Elite Miniatures, Napoleonic, Peninsular

My second unit completed. Two so far this month. This time it is a battery of Elite Miniatures British Foot Artillery. I got these models from Nathan at Elite Miniatures Australia. I brought three guns and crews. There were five crewmen per gun. After I had painted all fifteen crew I decided to only use four per base so mounted the remaining three miniatures on separate round bases. Being Elite miniatures a lot of the guys are looking at something up in the sky. I am not sure why they are sculpted that way but it is certainly a way of identifying Elites.

The extra crew. They will either be decoration on the table top or used as gunners in skirmish games.

Decided to do something a little different with one gun. So here we have the crew replacing a damaged wheel.

The battery in action.

  Thanks Mark. I am planning on 24 units this year. Ambitious but doable if I stick to it.

Very nice Brian! I do like the gun with the damaged wheel . Makes the stands far more interesting to have things like this!

  Thanks Roger. If you go to De Alte Fritz’s site and search on Prussian Artillery you will see the inspiration.

Great stuff Brian – I must have missed this when you first posted. I particularly like the way you have done the weathering on the bronze barrels. Very effective indeed.
