FredG Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) The latest to hit the table, Austrian horse artillery. As you can see, I'll impale anything Edited January 11, 2018 by FredG tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Painting started. Primed. The horses have had a coat of Mocha and a sepia wash. I could do with some diagrams of the horses' harness, they seem to be few and far between. Edited January 11, 2018 by FredG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I've been spending time looking at six horse teams and I think I now have the information I need. At least I' should be able to do a reasonable representation.I've added some nice glossy dark brown leather harnesses to the horses. They still need another wash but they're looking better.Left side horses. The front horse here has the harness for the rearmost of the ridden horses.Right side horses. From what I've gleaned from the various sources these are in the correct positions. I've thrown a first coat of ochre at the woodwork and done some very coarse marking out on the figures. With the four figures on the wurst I predict some heart felt anglo-saxon nouns and adjectives may stain the air blue when I progress to trying to tidy up the paintwork.

FredG Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) The second wash on the horses toned down the gloss on the harness and the horses themselves I think are improved. I'm on wood and metal bits now, the boring part. Edited January 13, 2018 by FredG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Looking good, I really like the Wurst rider casting. Looks interesting to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I wouldn't actually say interesting but it's certainly not one to rush Edited January 14, 2018 by FredG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Good luck Fred it will take some time but I look forward to seeing the end product I have some wargames foundry figures to do so I will keep a keen eye on your work . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 I stuck a few bits together today to get this. The figures are coming along OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 The figures are getting there. They have the uniforms on but no washes yet so they're a bit flat. Onwards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I''ve shelved this as the harnessing etc. was going to be very fiddly and the Dragoons are pressing to be finished. There are several ways to harness a six horse team and I've decided to go with the RHA harness below. It's simpler than some but will still give a reasonable result in the model. The connection to the limber for the rearmost horses will still be standard Austrian. Edited January 19, 2018 by FredG typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
