Clip Clop, Here Comes More Horse Artillery!
These posts may seem a little samey at the moment, but that is only because I am set on completing as much French artillery as possible at the moment. The next one I finished was this generic horse artillery battery:
Again, on this base I have included the limber so we can see quickly that it is a horse unit.
Another one down and only one more horse battery left to complete, so the end is in sight, just hold on a little while longer!
Also recently I was testing out making some brewed up markers for my tanks using teddy bear fur. This was shaped, then sprayed with red paint. I then sprayed black over the top and added some yellow to the bottom. Finally, I mounted it on a small mdf circle so it would stand up. I think the black needs to be stronger and I used thinned down acrylic, so the next one will be done with a black rattle can instead to see how that turns out. That said, this was very easy to make and I'll be working on some more in the future. I might do a full tutorial as well.
That's enough for this post, check back soon for more French artillery!
looking great
ReplyDeleteI made some knocked out tank markers from old computer packing. The 'smoke' is very dark grey and I did the flames using dayglo orange craft paint. The contrast looks good on the tabletop (although I suspect yours is more realistic!).
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea for reuse, I've seen people using foam chopped up with a food blender(!) and stuck back together, so I guess yours look similar? I think this one is a little too light for me, so I am going to try to darken the smoke in the next one I try...
