Here is the promised parade of the full Austrian artillery contingent.
 |
| All the guns, limbers, horses and over half the gunners are original Hinton Hunt figures. The remainder of the gunners are very nice DK versions. |
 |
| I completed this second limber using figures Don sent me earlier this year. |
 |
| There are 6 guns, 2 limbers and 24 gunners. |
I aim to have one gun battery for every two infantry units in an army so I'm thinking I will need one further Austrian infantry unit to balance things up but that may have to wait until next year.

Nicely done! I would not want to cross a field with those waiting on the other side. Being an old artillery guy myself, I can't help but imagine those poor guys trying to keep those carriages and limbers clean. I can almost hear the NCOs bellowing!
Ahhhhh, nothing quite like a large contingent of guns and crews. They look super.
Kind Sunday Regards,

Thanks Bob, yes yellow is probably not the most practical colour!
Thanks Stokes, the brown and yellow combination does look good!
A super display of your Austrian Artillery park, quite superb, pity the poor French that will come up against them!!
Thanks Donnie, hopefully the French will think twice before taking them on!
Very nice indeed. On a rather troubled Sunday, your pictures made me feel very peaceful, which is maybe an unusual role for artillery. Thank you - they look great.
Thanks Tony, glad you like them.
Nice figures, most of my Spanish gunners were Austrian once, but don't think many, if any, were HH originals. Those Frenchies are going to be so sorry if they start anything now, and another infantry unit in the offing - I like your logic.
Thanks Rob, the crazy kind of logic of a vintage figure collector!
They are magnificent, but what are they doing at stonehenge?
