Completed Artillery

[archimede]

a friend asked me to make some artillery, and gave me freedom of choice:
Napoleonic-era French field or sea-coast;
Napoleonic-era English-field or naval or coast;
Napoleonic-era Austrian: field;
American Civil War: field or coastal

in scale for our figures.

Which piece you choose?

Thanks you.

All of the above!

Napoleonic-era French field or sea-coast

70-75mm (1/24 1/25 scale )

I would say 54mm will give you more choice for figures.

British field artillery of the Napoleonic wars. Please. Thank you.

I've always wanted to do a 1/16th scale vignette of 'L' Battery, RHA, (1st Cavalry Brigade) at Néry, 1914, based on Matania's illustration. I can manage the 4 or 5 figures, dead horses, probably even the limber ammo box, but the 13 lber gun is out of the question - way beyond me. Don't suppose you'd consider....

All the best,
Dan

Dan,
The question is, do you have scale drawings of the thing or can you get them? Can't be done otherwise.

Thats not much choice... you should go with Napoleonic American Artillery (war of 1812, I have argued that we were in that war so many times)

You should do a little vignette of a naval cannon fortified in a costal position defending the white cliffs at dover, would be really cool

IMO it would be nicer to see guns done to a scale like 1/32 or 1/24 rather than a figure "size" like 54mm or 75mm. ~Gary

Napoleonic-era French field...20mm no. 54mm always popular
But like Dan has said, the gun from the battle of Nery...would be a good one
