Painting is quite slow at the moment, but I did finish some chevaux de frise and gabions. These are metal models made by League of Augsburg/Warfare miniatures https://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/
They are well detailed and were a fun detail to do. They are designed for the early 18th or 17th century, but these things changed very little and will work great for later periods as well. The gabions come as single pieces (packs of 6), with some extra stuff, like smaller gabions, packs of fascines, unfinished gabions etc. So the sets of three and the fascines over the top are my doing. Putting a pack of emtpy fascines over the top of the gabion was common apparently (something I picked up from some googling).
I was fortunate enough to receive some extra gabion pieces which were slightly miscast – these turned out to be very useful. Some of them were shorter in height, which looked great in some of the combinations I did, so that the miscasts were, in a way, more useful than more of the standard pieces would have been!
I should particularly mention League of Augsburg, who of course do a range of absolutely excellent figures for the war of the Spanish Succession/Great Northern War (and related conflicts). I have some of the figures and will have to dig them up and continue painting them at some point, hopefully rather soon (so far Ive only test painted one or two). Its difficult with all these beautiful miniatures and all the projects you really want to do but dont have the time for…

Still thoroughly enjoying the Black Powder chapters on this blog, along with your painting, the unusual units, the research and the superb units. Apologies for not commenting but always read the posts and eagerly await them.
Greetings from Adrian in Germany, who is also frustrated at the post brexit customs nonsense and continually on the look for figure suppliers in Germany (luckilly I have found a few).
