Field Battery, Royal Artillery platoon: The 2nd part

Since a few day's i have the 2nd part of the Field Battery, Royal Artillery platoon for my Canadian Company. The box is a birthday gift. Thanks guys.
Now with this box in my possession the total of 25 pounder guns in the platoon  will be brought to a total of 8 guns.
There are a few things in the box that i don't need anymore for the platoon. The Staff team and a command team but these will always come in handy for other projects like objectives.
Now,of-course,  i want to start as quick as possible to paint these but there is 1 problem; I can't go outside to prime them. It is freezing here. I do have an inside location that i can use to prime but in this room it is also pretty cold. I need to find a good solution to prime them cause i don't have it planned to do it all by hand.
And later, after it is all painted let's hope it's a little warmer here so i can seal them without destroying it (misty look after applying the varnish).
Wish me luck. ;-)
 
Thanks for reading.

  1. Look forward to seeing these painted. I recently finished a FlaK 36 Platoon and found the 'scenic bases' difficult to get right.

    I'm in the same position as you regarding priming models. Its been pretty cold here for a week and now its snowing heavy... not ideal conditions for spray priming or varnishing.

  2. I already painted 1 section (http://av-priest.blogspot.com/2010/10/royal-artillery-battery-platoon-end.html) and the scenic bases are a bit smoother then the normal bases which i covered with fine sand. But overall they look good.
