Strelets ACW Artillery

Posted by Fire at Will on 22 Mar 2019, 16:21

A pair each of Strelets Whitworth Rifles and 30 pdr Parrott Rifles. The supplied crews have been mixed up somewhat to provide a couple of heavy gun crews with 4 man crews and four light gun crews. I painted one of each figure as either Union or Confederate. At the back right are a couple of old Airfix guns to make up the numbers

The Whitworths are nearest with Confederate crews.

I also checked to see if a old Italeri mortar crew would also fit with the 30pdr.

Very nice.

It might be worth replacing the lanyards with thin wire or thread.

Best wishes,

You are really quick. The first painted version of these sets I have seen. I'm always thinking about the pictures from the movie Gettysburg. Cool gun battery.
