Colonial RHA Gun Team & Limber

Its been a tough few months...

Not had much time for painting and modelling. However the other day I managed to make a start on a project that I have had on my list since seeing Ethan's excellent 25mm converstion of a colonial gun team for his Afgan War "Maiwand Day" project.

See his subperb work here...

So in his footsteps here is my attempt in 20mm plastic...
















Lets see how close I can get to the colour scheme below...



Hope you enjoyed the images...

Now to start painting...
