Some time ago I was staring at some of my Napoleonic artillery bases and couldn't loose a certain feeling of un-ease. I have always based my artillery (arty for short) on circular bases and they just didn't get the feel right. I love the arty bases done by the Perry's and Front Rank but couldn't get why mine didn't look like that. And then it hit me: they are on rectangular bases. So here are the results of my trials with a rectangular base. Some Revell RFA with both a six pounder and a howitzer. The guns was left off the base so that I can switch between guns but also use the gun with the limber when mounted for transport.

Those are great! Good looking figures. They look really sharp painted up.
I like the vignette (stacked rifles and backpacks)
The plaid on the highlanders is good. I just painted a kilt for the first time the other day (Revell 8th army) and it looks stupid!
Love the Airfix, cuirassier (dragoon.) I had them as a young boy and lost them all but that's always been one of my favorite poses.
Nice to see him come alive!
Thanks for your kind words, I am pretty pleased with them all.
I have the infantry casualties by Tragik, but so far they don't have cavalry casualties. Which Esci kits include the cav. casualties?
I love your Revell artillery. I might have to acquire a set myself. I have the Call to Arms British artillery, which is good, but not as detailed as the Revell set.
Kheb die bases van jou altijd tof gevonden, het zijn net mini-diorama's.
Goed werk, weer!
@Rosbif: The cavalry casualties are from the Airfix sets. The only other Cavalry casualty I have is from Italeri not from Esci. The Scottish soldier carrying his friend is ESCI.
@AM: Cheers mate!
