Austrian Guns for 1799 Project

While Saturday was spent battling on the fields of Zorndorf, Sunday evening's painting session produced two 18mm guns and crew for the 1799 project.  Not a lot of progress but progress nonetheless.  Figures are from AB Miniatures' FRW range of Austrians. 
As always, terrific sculpts from AB and a pleasure to paint.  Two more guns for the Austrian cause are making their way through the painting queue.  This next pair of Austrian guns will be crewed by Grenz artillerymen.  Austrian artillerymen in casquet are splendid!

One shortfall that needs to be addressed for the 18mm SYW project is that I have yet to field any Prussian or Austrian howitzers.  Zorndorf needed two howitzer batteries and I was forced to field 6lb guns instead.  I am nearing the tipping point for a Eureka order and when I do, Prussian and Austrian howitzers and crew will be in the mix.  

Also, with Jake's massive Russian army fielding limbers for all of his guns, the pressure is mounting to field limbers for my artillery park.  Oh, how I hate painting limbers...
