Love artillery subjects. Nicely done Nappy cannoneers. The reinforced firing position is cool.
One suggestion.....
the cannons look too "gold", not brass colored. Try a brown wash to tone them down. Hope this helps.

That`s some Very Neat and Clean Work CPN. :thumbup: Splendid painting and tip top conversions. La Haye Sainte by AIRFIX, in the shots too. Great!_____________ :-D I love it all.
I agree the guns are a bit bright,and you can add a drop of black to Gold ,Brass or Bronze to create a deeper colour. However, what the heck,if that`s the way you want them,that`s A OK with me.

Taking Photo Shots.
Cotton Wool fluffed up fine would lend movement and direction to the business end of that gun even though the end result ,is a still photo. :-D BB

very clear and crisp painting! But i would prefer not to use such a bright green for the bases, green is a very aggressiv colour which kills the others and doesn´t fit in colour harmony. Better use a darker green (make a shading which sepia or dark Brown), best is ochre, which is truly neutral.
