French line artillery Napoleonic 58

 Here is a line artillery piece, another nice Perry metal model, probably the last thing done before Christmas. I'm not doing the analogue painting challenge as I'm only home for two weeks of it and only in the UK for a total of four weeks so a bit difficult to keep up with the painting , basing and posting! 







Sorry for the pictures, done against the kitchen splashback on the last morning in my digs, best lighting but still not that good! Didn't really need another artillery piece if I'm being honest but it came as part of the Perry Imperial French brigade deal so it would have been churlish not to paint it! Lovely figures, I enjoy painting artillery as there isn't too many figures and you get a unit!

Anyway, Merry Christmas everybody, hope you have a good one.

All the best 

Iain
