Paris, siege and Commune, 1871 - the artillery and sappers

 A number of projects have been 'in progress' during this winter quarters.  Most activity has been focussed around the rewrite of the Campaign edition of FLW, which is now available.

Sieges continue to fascinate, and I have been doing some work on completing the 1870/71 armies.  The inspiration has been August Raffet's magnificent work;

Costumes militaires sous les deux sièges de Paris

To begin, the artillery and sappers.

The toy soldiers are mostly the early, and excellent Barzso ACW figures - painted here at 1870/1871 French.
