Napoleonic Russian limbers and crews

Back in the summer I 3D printed some Russian limbers to replace my very old crude Airfix conversions, but then I discovered some files with replacement limber riders that I acquired in a late summer sale and then printed in my final 3D print run for the year. So I have drawn them together with my old Airfix RHA horses to produce my new replacements.

Foot Artillery on the old RHA horses
Horse Artillery on the Zvezda limber
A review of the Russian artillery reveals that I have 3 guns/crews too many and that I should replace all my old Hinton Hunt gunners (4 crews) and replace them with a single crew from my spare Zvezda figures to match the rest of the Foot Artillery Gunners. Obviously I still need to upgrade the gunner basing.
The Horse Artillery Gunners will be upgraded late next year when I get chance to print some bespoke versions acquire in a Black Friday sale.

It's the old problem of base creep isn't it? You need four gunners, so you buy a pack of eight, then you think "If I bought another gun ...."
