Help to identify manufacturer. (1 Viewer)

Hello All,
Approximately 13 years back I bought the Napoleonic French artillery train set below at auction. It was suggested that it may be Hinchcliffe, not convinced. I am not concerned on the maker re value but would like to know who made this set.
Not had it on display for sometime, the space problem. Hoping to get it on show soon but may, if brave enough improve the ground work.
Yours,
Douglas

It looks to me like a gun team produced by French maker MHSP (Miniatures Historiques de Soldats de Plomb ) they came as castings and are from the 1970's. The range was released in the 200's with recasts made in China and sold by ATLAS.

Here are a couple of pics on sets I have painted, showing both sides, and both mattes and gloss finish and this is the MHAS website: https://www.mokarex.fr/index_mhsp_uk.html

I hope that helps?

For your interest MHSP make some more wagons and horsedrawn equipment that few others make.

Many of these are still available, but they need finding, usually on EBay but from European sellers.
As they are unpainted, the castings will need a 'lick of paint', I have done with all these ........
