Askari miniatures do paint up nicely. I decided to opt for the 1889 uniform colours for the first batch of figures, I will follow up with either white tropical dress or, more likely, khaki for the next set. I have used Armory (and now Citadel) white prime since forever as it gives the miniature a happy glow.

Since the readers seem to like these battery-in-action tableaux, I'm including two for your delectation. The gun is from the Old Glory Spanish American line.

I just ran across this--pretty cool! In doing research for the figures, I found paintings of the Colonial Artillery in the blue/white uniform but I've painted mine in khaki. It's fun to see them in the other uniform colors. Well done!
