I added some extra base length on the end so that the cannon is also on the base while in transit. I keep the cannon model detached from any bases.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-50204185803961907322009-12-02T00:20:58.131+00:002009-12-02T00:20:58.131+00:00If you are going to do limbers (Yes - they are a l...If you are going to do limbers (Yes - they are a luxury) then you might as well do them in full.<br /><br />Looks much better this way and you are right, if it feels you are comfortable with it - it cannot be wrong!<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-44937510684565512642009-12-01T08:30:16.438+00:002009-12-01T08:30:16.438+00:00Clive - I like they way you're thinking (indee...Clive - I like they way you're thinking (indeed slighlty mad) and yes, you're right they should all be neatly at the same height!

Rectangular and, of course, painted in the same green. You wouldn't stick the cannon to it. It would simply sit under the cannon for when the cannon is limbered, and be removed and replaced by a triangular bit when unlimbered. A little bit fiddly when moving the horses, limber and cannon around the battlefield, but perhaps, it may just be worth it. (I'm mad!)<br />cheers<br />CliveClive Normannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-1989328570024995722009-11-30T19:45:10.128+00:002009-11-30T19:45:10.128+00:00Thanks for the kind words guys!
Clive - you have ...Thanks for the kind words guys!<br /><br />Clive - you have a point I guess but the little bit of base sticking out would bug me when the gun was deployed. The old rule set I will be using with the figures says the deployed guns should be based on 60mm triangular bases so I may at least make these to level the height up when in action!<br /><br />IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-69682077547635061642009-11-30T17:41:53.579+00:002009-11-30T17:41:53.579+00:00Hi Ian, it looks very nice but, for me, I'd ne...Hi Ian, it looks very nice but, for me, I'd need a small blank green base under the canon so that everything is at the same level!

If you were going for textured bases and a weathered and highlighted look for the kit then that would be a bright blue, but as you are aiming for something more towards traditional toy soldier then brightness works.<br />Roylewisgunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935143236897047636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-30584056587075550362009-11-30T04:29:16.601+00:002009-11-30T04:29:16.601+00:00Very nice Stryker,
