More of Trent Miniatures great French Revolutionary range.
These were painted early last month, but I've only just had the chance to take the photos
and post them.
Although they're painted up as French guns they can be used for the rebellious armies of Toussaint L'Ouverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines.
Trent Miniatures - French Gribeauval Howitzer and artillerymen
French Gribeauval 8 pdr
French Gribeauval 4 pdr
The last gun is a French 6 pounder and comes from Warbases, Its a MDF carriage. I think
I'm correct in saying the Napoleonics range was made in line with the release of Sharp Practice 2?
The Limber is also from Warbases
While the horses are from Essex minis
The cannonballs are from Britannia figures available from Andy at Grubby Tanks.
Well done. That works that the figures are a bit multi-purpose so you can paint and use them to fit your needs.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it does Alex.
DeleteGood work on gun, limber, and crew! Very interesting conflict for your focus.
ReplyDeleteProbably not that pc at the moment though??
DeleteSuch elegant guys, and the horses are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dez!

DeleteExcellent work Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteLovely work Ray, and I was wondering where you picked up the cannonballs. It's been a while since I ordered from Grubby Tanks, but I remember Andy provides a great service.
ReplyDeleteHe does indeed Lawrence.
DeleteNice work Ray - nice to see the Warbases artillery piece - I have toyed with the idea of purchasing these on several occasions, given the relative affordability compared with metal equivalents - I just wish they would expand their range a bit to include a few other nations!
ReplyDeleteI was very impressed myself at the results to be honest and yea, if only they did a few other nations. I'll have to have a word with Martin me thinks???
DeleteGlad to see artilleries, limbers and cannonballs...very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil. Glad you like them all.
DeleteLovely artillery stand. MDF carriage..MDF as in the type of stuff furniture made of?
ReplyDeleteบาคาร่าขั้นต่ำ Nah..I can´t pronounce that :-)

ReplyDeleteMe too George!
DeleteExcellent stuff Ray, this project going to be a good one.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
DeleteGreat looking artillery and interesting to see how well the warbase gun paints up!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
It is rather nice, isn't it?
DeleteWork that is really made carefully and the results are very similar to the original 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, Glad you like them.
DeleteGreat battery of artiller and good to see limbers too.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll be buying a few more limbers too!
DeleteWonderful work Ray; will you be painting Haitian crew for them as well?
ReplyDeleteYes I will, I may buy another pack and do a bit of head swapping.
DeleteVery nice mate. You can never have enough artillery.
ReplyDeleteVery true Lee.
DeleteLovely work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Roger, glad you like them.
DeleteNice work Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul.
DeleteYou've certainly been busy Ray. Being back at work has restricted my time. The figures look good
ReplyDeleteThese were painted up when I was off work. Back to slow painting once again I'm afraid.
DeleteGreat work Ray - rather like the Trent figures too!
ReplyDeleteThey are rather nice eh?
DeleteThese boys have the biggest balls of all... actually, the loading figure looks a bit like Angus Young!!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting Ray!
Regards, James
But without his trademark shorts though?
DeleteYeah, and a stick in place of an axe!!
DeleteHaha!
