French horse artillery Napoleonic 57 and a Wednesday WIP

 Here's an artillery piece for the horse artillery, a nice metal Perry model, all primed based and painted as one.

Lovely figures that have come up well. Lurking in the background are some Perry plastic French line, who as they are in the process of being painted I thought I'd show you how they are done after the last posts comments. 

As you can see they're part way through the process and almost usable!  To save a bit more time the bases are coloured with some dilute stain and varnish in a tub and the base dipped in ot enough to come up to their boots and then removed. The commander and the honour guard's halberd heads and brace of pistols are Victrix and the eagle and ribbons are warlord

Four more figures to the total, 264, every little helps!

All the best
