[@Titus_Vespasianus]

great job!!! Really enjoyed the video...what size base did you use...I'm finding a hard time getting the dimensions of the artillery bases...

[@7thson726]

Thanks very much 😃 these ones are on 50mm x 70mm i believe but i vary mine depending on the number of crew 👍

[@bjkernowpaintingandmodelli9119]

Nice video mate

[@7thson726]

Thanks mate 👍

[@gorlestondoug]

Interesting video, I like the mud effect. What size is the base?

[@7thson726]

Thanks, the mud can be used in so many ways to create interesting bases. The mdf base is 60 x 70mm and is 2mm thick.

Nice video

[@7thson726]

[@zacaffeine2048]

Great tutorial! BTW what brush do you use?

[@7thson726]

Thanks 👍 i use a mixture of army painter and windsor and newton

On a French artillery theme... Check out a BBC documentry called Hero and Villains about Napoleon. It is the BEST portrayal of period artillery I have ever seen... they look like they are live firing !

[@7thson726]

Nice one, will definitely check that out 👍

[@arminb.7399]

what basesize do you use ?

[@7thson726]

I base artillery on 80/90mm x 60mm 👍

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Very nicely done,would it be the same colours for british artillery?

[@7thson726]

Thanks. The British gun carriages are a light grey blue so I base coat them with that then follow the same process here. The British crew colours are still blue with red facings but alot more piping on the uniform which I always do as a gold/yellow 👍
