Italian wars 16 artillery

Here we have three artillery pieces for the Italian wars, the two cannons are by Irregular and the three barreled gun is by hinchcliffe, all the crew are from old glory. The Irregular guns give you some nice variation which I think you need in a period of experimentation and no standardisation, one of the guns were super cheap but I think it's absolutely fine, the other was meant to come with additional transoms, I put it in the pile a couple of years ago and only realised they weren't there when I came to paint them, I think it'll do! The three barreled gun is a really nice hinchcliffe piece with the nice detail of the barrels being held together with rope!






Onto the 20th century next! 
All the best Iain

    Excellent additions to your project, Iain!
    Coincidentally, I have two guns in work for my Italian Wars project. Great minds think alike, right?

      This brings me up to ten guns, I've got another hinchcliffe to do and then I've got the old glory Swiss crews so maybe 5 more after that? I can use them for wotr though as well! Looking forward to seeing your's!

      Thanks Matt, yes getting there, the big one should have had some transom pieces going up and diagonally down, would have been even bigger!

      I don't think health and safety figured much in early artillery!
      Cheers Dai!

    I love the variation of the guns - a real mix just as it should be in the early 16th Century. Great Stuff!

      Thanks Oli, yes what I think I still need is more of the iron guns as they seemed to soldier on longer than I first thought.
