Italian Artillery - 28mm Victrix

Some artillery support for the Italians. More Victrix figures used here, their 1804-1812 French Artillery set with 8 and 12 pdrs.

The kit comes with a variety of head options also including bearskins (for Guard Artillery), campaign shakos and bicornes and some bare heads, but I chose full dress shakos for all figures. Nice to have the option!

The guns also come with ammunition chests but left those off here for now.

12 pdrs are the two pieces on the left in pics above (and on right in pics below). They have larger barrels though a little hard to tell apart unless looking straight down upon them. I might need to paint the cuffs and collars of the 12 pounders in light blue as for 1st/Guardia Artillery so they are easier to tell apart! Other four guns are 8 pounders. 

There's a powder scoop arm option which was not really used at this time (but I stuck a couple in anyway).  

The bases are a bit small for the dynamic poses you get with plastics, as compared to metals, but managed to fit everything on. 50x100 bases would work better than these 50x75mm bases though.

Thanks for looking. On the painting desk at the moment more French and French Ally Generals.

Also for any other bloggers out there, it seems Blogger has changed the format for picture uploading in an annoying way (a simpler more restricted option) - but I was able to switch back to "classic blogger" format which works better thank goodness. You will find option on the bottom left menu.
