Napoleonic Prussian Artillery - 3D Print Models

These 3D resin models were picked up off of ebay. The set comes with 3 cannon (with howitzer options), and 4 crewmen per gun, as well as mounted and foot officers and drummer. Note: the mounted figure leaning over to his left is a Perry figure.
These will be part of my 1813 Campaign game - which I hope to run with either Black Powder or Valour and Fortitude. Something light, and easily picked up for an evening game with multiple players.
Interestingly, all the crewmen have uncovered shakos, which would've been unusual on campaign. In any case, I got to paint the top bands of the shakos to make them look more colorful. The NCO's shakos have gold bands, as well as gold trim on their colors and cuffs.
They're mounted on 85mm x 55mm bases - something I've used for most of my Napoleonic artillery.
Here are the command figures, along with the Perry Gneisenau figure.
They match up well with the Perry figure.
Below, a comparison with a Victrix French cannon and crew on the left. They're proportioned pretty similarly, IMO.
Here's the set prior to painting. The sprue trees in the back have extra equipment pieces, but I found them a bit too fragile to cut away - so didn't use them.
Well, glad to have these done, as now the Russians, Prussians, and Austrians all have artillery support to face the French. Thanks for checking out the blog, and hoping you all are having a safe and good summer.
