Four more 3d printed Napoleonic French transport teams and three MDF limbers from warbases. In addition there are two French mounted command and two Austrian mounted command. These are the second wave of limbers, the team without a limber gets added to a limber team to signify horse artillery. I really liked these 3d prints I got off etsy, good detail and largely matching Perry in size, you get three two horse teams plus limber, traces and an artillery piece with three barrel options, the wheels are a bit big and the carriage is a bit small but you will see some of them crewed up in the not too distant future and at £13 including postage something of a bargain especially as there are no lines. The command chaps are here as ADCs as when you have to send a command beyond a certain distance in Valour and Fortitude you need to send a messenger, not essential but we decided it was a nice touch, the Austrians are spare Victrix Colonels while the French are assembled from a variety of Perry/ warlord/Victrix spares, the joys of plastic kits! Painted in my usual slap dash single colours on a black undercoat,no highlights or fancy washes here I'm afraid, fast and dirty being my favoured format!
Aiming for adequate I think I've largely achieved it, I especially like the dragoon trumpeter torso with extra hussar bits and a Victrix Colonels arm on a Warlord English civil war horse with the additional Perry gun covers meant for carabiner command, he makes a particularly dashing ADC, just a pity his sword handle got glued the wrong way around!
All the best

Great work on all Iain, the limbers do look good, and great they have no lines in them, also the conversions from the bits look seamless and would be hard to see that they weren't production models.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, very kind of you!

The 3D prints look excellent and with no layer lines, a good recommendation. I had heard that resin can be brittle, with finer points subject to snapping, are these as robust as they look?
ReplyDeleteP.S. you last two posts to me both ended up in the spam catcher thingy!
DeleteThey seem relatively robust and the horse / rider teams don't have too many bits that stick out?
DeleteBest Iain
They painted up beautifully Iain, and nice to see that the models included traces.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, yes , bit of a bonus the traces!
DeleteBest Iain
You keep on producing some really enjoyable stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Suber!

Nothing slapdash or fast & dirty about those Iain. They look the business.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of you to say that Chris!
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent! You make fielding a handful of limbers and teams look easy.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Jonathan!
DeleteBest Iain
More great figures Iain, I don't have a 3D printer so I have no experience with the process but these look really good and I assume the traces were included with the software? Limber teams are so expensive to buy, especially importing them to Australia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, I don't have a printer, I bought them printed, I'm sure someone will have the licence to print them in Australia?

Looks great! Always a treat when you find that perfect 3D print to match what you're looking for.
ReplyDeleteThanks SD, absolutely!

Excellent work mating items from a lot of sources to get cohesive units. Hat's off to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, part of the fun?!

Excellent limbers and ADCs Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Cyrus!

Beautiful work as always!
ReplyDeleteBest regards
Thanks very much Michal!

Great stuff Iain - £13 sounds like a good deal - of course, if I ordered the same kit, the postage to NZ would put it up to £30! (I am considering a post on the subject of freight costs....although I suspect it would not be of much interest to most readers!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, are there no one selling 3d prints in NZ?
DeleteBest Iain
Nice work Iain, I’m on with British limbers at the moment, the ADC’s will come in for Soldiers of Napoleon as well if you ever try them out
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, rapid work to get to limbers already for you, I thought ADCs might be useful to have for a few rulesets!
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent stuff, Iain. I was particularly impressed with all the effort you went to with your ADC - so many parts from so many kits and manufacturers. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, one of the joys of plastic modelling, I think!
DeleteBest Iain
Tremendous! Sounds like you have a good supplier for your 3D prints both in quality and price.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, yes I've actually got a supply wagon from them now as well!
DeleteBest Iain
limbers are always a good addition to a battlefield. These came out well. 😁
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Stew!
DeleteBest Iain
Superb work all round Iain. The limbers look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Richard!

Lovely new toys Iain…
ReplyDeleteI really must paint some limbers….
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, yes you could do with some shiny ones I imagine!
