1:72 Artillerie de la Garde impériale

Italeri Imperial Guard Artillery brings a Napoleonic gun crew into 1:72 scale with a build centered on Guard foot artillery, field guns and the disciplined activity around them. The set represents a unit of Regiment d'Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale and captures the look of artillerymen working the cannon in coordinated positions across an open battlefield scene. The historical reference reaches beyond a generic artillery team. The crew is identified by the high bearskin bonnet issued in 1810, a distinctive uniform detail that sets this formation apart within Napoleon's Imperial Guard. The typical Guard artillery crew comprised 8 men, and that full team is reflected here for a more complete gun position. Separate parts for the artillery pieces and figures support a staged build that can be painted and arranged with attention to pose, spacing and period character. Assembly is required, with an indicated build time of 600 minutes. On a shelf, in a diorama or as part of a wider Napoleonic lineup, the 1:72 scale helps the finished scene sit naturally with other historical miniatures and terrain elements. Cannon crews in loading, aiming or firing arrangements can give a display a stronger sense of sequence and battlefield structure, whether the focus stays on a single gun emplacement or expands into a larger Grande Armée setting.
