I\'m modelling my armies under the command structure at Gettysburg for both sides. This is my first artillery and is a 3\" rifled parrott gun.
Information on each battery under General Wainwright at the time of
Gettysburg is a bit sketchy except for perhaps Lt. Greenleaf T. Stevens
and so I\'ll just number them battery #1, #2 etc. for ease.

Wainwright was commissioned a major in the 1st New York Artillery on October 17, 1861 and rose quickly through the ranks.

He was chief of artillery of I Corps at the Battle of Chancellorsville
and Gettysburg where he helped repulse the Confederate attacks on
Cemetery Hill and exchanged volleys with confederate artillery prior to
Pickett\'s charge.

In 1864 he became chief of artillery of V Corps and also attained the
rank of Brevet General which he held until the end of the war.

I\'ve used some of the new Foundry ACW paints and I quite like them.
Thanks for viewing

Thanks. I\'m basing my army primarily for \"Guns at Gettysburg\", but still allow myself some flexibility in base size to best accommodate each model. This model is on 60mm x 70mm base.

Which of the new foundry paints did you use?

[Axebreaker]

Thanks guys!

Which of the new foundry paints did you use?        

I used Union Blue and Union Trouser Blue. The Union Blue while accurate is too dark for my tastes and so the next unit I\'ll add a further highlight to give a bit more pop.

Great paintjob together with a pretty nice base   , for my taste the flowers are a bit to \"shiny\", but as always its a matter of taste  :rolleyes: .
