Today Captain Thomas Roger's Royal British Foot Artillery Battery came rattling into camp. The battery is pictured below.
They still need to be mounted on stands and have their gloss coat applied

Two Hinton Hunt "Field Gun[s] (British)"
Pictured above is the bottom of one the guns, with the marking "HHF" for Hinton Hunt Figures (?), Upon closer examination of the photo after I posted it, I noticed what appears to be an A2 just to the left of the axle!) A2 is a "Field Gun (British)" per the Hinton Hunt catalogue! These are, in fact, original Hinton Hunt cannon.
This is the remainder of the artillery needed to complete "Phase I" (though I would love to locate two French gun crews. Let me know if you have any for sale, trade or donation in the comments below).
When I locate some French gunners, I will move the Dutch-Belgian gunners over to one of the above British/Allied guns, and let the French man the French guns pictured in my prior post.
Those are exceptionally attractive gunners, CN. Nice find.

Thank you WM.
DeleteI do like your painting style of the Hinton Hunt British Gun and Crew- well done. Great to see them in action on the battle field at a later date. Good fortune with locating mor Hintons for your Collection. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kev. They are keen to see some action.
DeleteGreat looking minis...and impressive guns!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil.
DeleteI do like the officer! A spare one would make a good adc of some sort on a command stand.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
Thank you Ross. I suppose when he is not commanding his battery, I can press him into service helping out a general, since he will be mounted individually.
DeleteYou are certainly getting your units painted in quick order.
ReplyDeleteMy Phase 1 is 4 Infantry units, 2 Cavalry, 2 companies of skirmishers and 2 guns a side. I hope to get Phase 1 finished by the end of the summer.
Hi Mark,
DeleteYour phase one is almost like mine, except doubled! I want to get there as well, but I deliberately set phase one a bit lower, so that is is clearly within reach.
I took a look at Bruce Quarrie’s Airfix book, and if you scale down the number of French units at Waterloo by a factor of about 50 (I did some rounding) you get about 5 battalions of line infantry, 1 battalion of light infantry, 3 regiments of cavalry and 2 batteries of artillery. That is a fairly close approximation of your phase one. I look forward to following your continued progress.
