More Southern Artillery

I'm finally getting around to completing a number of bases that needed those 'finishing touches'. This artillery piece, like the previous post, has borrowed from the Crimean range, again with the head resculpted. The officer is unconverted.


The 3" rifle is not painted to represent bare wood, but rather the ochre paint used on some Confederate pieces. I was looking for a link with the Ordnance manual regulations. This page has a good explanation. A number of 3" rifles were captured on the march to Gettysburg, so many of the ANV bases I'm painting up now will use a darker olive green.
