Finnish artillery

Some Perry miniatures Swedish napoleonic artillerymen, painted in the uniforms of the Finnish artillery regiment. There is a 6-pdr gun and a 3-pdr. The 3-pdrs were on their way out, but they were nonetheless used extensively in Finland. In the difficult terrain the lighter pieces were more useful than they would have been in other regions of the Napoleonic wars. The 3-pdrs are heavily converted AWI pieces by Foundry which I greenstuffed into the likeness of a piece in the Army museum in Stockholm which supposedly saw service with the Savolax brigade in 1808. The limbers and ammunition wagon are Perry AWI models.
