...Thank you Curt - there are more Sipahis to come.<br /><br />With regard to the guns, the carriages certainly would recoil, they do on 2 wheeled carriages. If you have a look at the Mary Rose guns some of them had 4 wheeled carriages, to facilitate the running in and out of the gun ports. They were roped up to prevent recoil being too extreme so I guess a similar method could have been used for these. Certainly in sieges I would expect these to be taken off the carriages.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-63841252329996739502020-03-22T00:58:01.233-07:002020-03-22T00:58:01.233-07:00Lovely work Oli.

Do you think the wheels were removed for deployment for firing? You would think a gun on a four-wheeled carriage would seem hazardous with its recoil. Nonetheless, very impressive brushwork.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-73498111126548099272020-03-19T15:22:15.647-07:002020-03-19T15:22:15.647-07:00Cheers Stuart, hopefully a force worthy of besiegi...Cheers Stuart, hopefully a force worthy of besieging the Landsknecht in Vienna will eventually be amassed.

A kind of "double saddle" effect is created at the back of the riders but if you paint the saddle on the figure the same colour as that on the horse it is not really noticeable.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-75737987013086611222020-03-16T12:45:49.891-07:002020-03-16T12:45:49.891-07:00Thank youThank youOlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-3402852766544593662020-03-16T12:45:39.535-07:002020-03-16T12:45:39.535-07:00Thank you, hopefully there is more to come for thi...Thank you, hopefully there is more to come for this army as well.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-602324735077621362020-03-16T12:45:05.508-07:002020-03-16T12:45:05.508-07:00Cheers Iain.
