Empress British 7pdr
My first real construction project and a little daunting due to a lack of any real reference material. Being a bit of a novice to such things I hadn't realised that there was a standard colour for artillery pieces (apparently a light grey for the British) fortunately those good people at the Wargames Foundry actually do a British Gun Grey palette!
A useful piece of reference if not totally in line with the sculpting on the figures.
For some reason I felt the need to actually drill the barrel to give it more depth! It just seemed to make sense to me.
Two guns and seventy men of N Battery, 5th Brigade, Royal Artillery fought at Isandlwana the guns themselves captured.

I feel I may have misled you a little! Because I am so new to the hobby (and work particularly slowly!) I have been able to chart my progress from the beginning, as it were. The Blog took on a very retrospective to begin with but is now up to date. Some new pieces been added shortly.
