Given how many spare hands it has, why not get the model to do it for you?

28mm Minden SYW hussar and artillery figures finished (apart from touch ups) and based, and 2 batteries of 18mm Eureka SYW Royal Artillery finally based. Not much, but it is progress. I still have to finish the 28mm guns and horse-holder's nag.

You seem to have achieved that rare success of finding an accurate brown for the Austrian gunners - well done!

Thanks, mate, but it's just a quick mix to try and get reasonably close to a couple of plates. With the dyes of the time, black powder residue, fading and washing just about any lighter brown-grey colour could be "accurate".
