From: Grahame Hornwood: 15mm Essex Prussian Artillery FPW (110 points)

 This is just a quick post as I haven’t submitted one and it’s getting close to the time limit. Last year I rebased some of my Napoleonics deciding that I liked the 1 to 20 scale large units. So just before the challenge started I began to rebase my Franco-Prussian war armies to 1 to 33 scale(ish). Unfortunately I didn’t finish so I am having to paint up so more units just to finish the Prussian Army. Hence the artillery battery below 

Three Prussian Limbers and guns

Three Prussian field guns, and I have just notice a bit of a mistake. 

All together

 

This year I decided to see if I could get an army painted during the challenge. I have a large metal mountain, or rather mountains, to choose from. So I decided to buy another new army to go with my 15mm FPW Prussians. 1866 Austrians. Now I have tried to be sensible, given I only have a 6’x4’ table so I am looking at painting 12 infantry battalions, 3 cavalry Regiments and 2 artillery batteries. However, I am already thinking of making it larger. “I think I have a problem, I must be strong”. Hopefully I will post the first pictures at the weekend.
