28mm Perry British RHA Limber and Howitzer

Ok so a question was asked on TMP about how people base their limber teams..... The following shots are of my first, nearly, completed limber team for my RHA battery. Figures are by Perry and the pill bases are done by Warbases..... I think this will give me a degree of flexibility as to how I use these on the table top without the bases becoming too big.....

Final battery will consist of three cannon, three limber teams, three ammunition carts and teams and a field forge.....

What I would like to find are mounted RHA gunners as opposed to officers to help depict the battery in transit..... Any ideas anyone?







Gun and limber still need weathering and attaching to base.....
