Greetings…
Here we have a Prussian gun and crew painted in the ‘Wellington Way’.
One of my biggest influences when I started my Shiny Napoleonics collection was Wellington Man (AKA Matthew) from The Hinton Spieler Blog.

Just looking at the gem like quality of his toys made me want something similar for myself…
I realised recently that I have never tried to paint anything in his particular style…
Matthew has rather conveniently posted some tutorials on his blog…

I have followed his guidance as close as I can … But I have used acrylic paint as I am not brave enough to use Humbrol Enamels…
The figures are PN 32, 33, 34, and 35.
The Cannon is FNA 4… I think.
The Tunics are… Citadel… Administratum Grey.
The Trousers are… Citadel… Mechanicus Standard Grey.
The Gaiters are… Citadel… Corvus Black.
The Gun Carriage is… Citadel… Russ Grey.
This was an enjoyable little project and I am very pleased with the results… I will definitely be painting more toys in this style.
All the best. Aly
