To me they look great. I was excited to see that you painted them metal because I figured you were more accurate than me. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, what is the proper covering?

I was going to use some newer Perry guns, which have proper wooden tops, but those are 3-pounders and I wanted to use 6-pounders. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure where I took the metal top idea from; often it's difficult to tell from photos and pictures what the real colour is - metal, wood, canvas etc. I finally realised my mistake when I visited the Royal Artillery Museum at Woolwich last year and saw some guns for the first time.Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-37860875931485465222008-03-13T05:18:00.000+00:002008-03-13T05:18:00.000+00:00Giles......Nice job on the figures.How did you pai...Giles......Nice job on the figures.<BR/>How did you paint the guns. What color did you use for the tops of the ammo chests? Is that metal or wood? Thanks......BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
