Austrian Irregular Infantry

With the Loudon gun piece completed I decided yesterday to make a gun piece for my Austrian irregular infantry.
The original idea was floated on the AMG Forum where the consensus of members was that Austrian irregulars often had light artillery attached. 

I took two old castings replaced the arms with wire and soldered them to a 3pdr cannon, followed by milliput.

Battalion gun for Loudon Grenadiers

It is doubtful that London Grenadiers had battalion guns but.....

Today I converted a gunner for the 3pdr which will be painted in a green uniform associated with Loudon grenadiers, also I converted a conscripted Croat to assist with the firing of the battalion gun.

Should look interesting when painted.

Pilgramshain a Lost Cause

The Saxon grenadiers fall back into the houses of the town of Pilgramshain. With no artillery support as both guns were damaged by the Prussian 24 pdrs it is only a matter of time before the grenadiers throw down their muskets and run.

Major Richard Chevalier d'Alton

Converted this figure today. 

I needed a mounted officer to command Grun Loudon Grenadiers. The grenadiers will be painted by DJ in the next couple of months. Dependent on the green DJ uses I might well have to paint Major d'Alton.

ps...see post 21st January to see the grenadier castings

Artillery Fire

The heavy artillery supporting Du Moulin cause havoc on the Saxon grenadiers.
