German horse drawn guns

German horse drawn guns

No German Army should be without horse drawn artillery!
Whilst we rarely have artillery on tabletop, it is possible such positions could be over-ran or feature in an advance or retreat type game.

These have been in storage for ages NOT mine, but acquired over the years, they needed repairing and the paint needed attention, i also assembled and based the third team who has a gun which came with one of those di-cast models.

Mexican Additions

Mexican Additions

I like to plan my builds together in batches of similar or themed bits. A couple of these have sat patiently awaiting their turn for ages, this is about 2 weeks worth all told. 

Civilians
EWM figures, some minor mods, the mule is from the Matchbox Aussie set





Field hands
Sgt`s Mess road crew with head swaps

Odds n`sods additions to my factions
L-R: EWM Soldadera, Sgt`s Mess civilian child passenger, old Airfix Confederate

L-R: 2 x ERM Soldaderas, another old Airfix Confederate

Two as yet unreleased ERM figures (the Mexican has an arm swap)


All together

Clergy
A mix or Sgt`s Mess and Elheim (I`ve forgotten who made what?)
Priest plus two Franciscan Friars 

Priest, Nun & Novice

French Nun

All together

Federal cavalry - maybe more Colorados?
8 old Airfix US Cavalry, 7 with head-swaps, most sabre arms replaced by rifle or pistol arms, some added kit too.




Crappy attempts to show the rearing horse/rider combo close-up


All together


Wrecked Cart

Wrecked Cart

Sgt`s Mess kit
A little tinkering, painted up, based and with added load
