Theses are two Krupp 75mm field guns and a pair of 1pdr pom-poms from Strelets, surplus crew has been used for command and loader teams
Maybe I need to add some limbers?

Wonderfull painted figures Will! 
Limbers? My question is did they use that? Can't find a picture or drawing where Boers use limbers.

I haven't started looking yet, but I would expect to see some limbers for the Krupp guns, but maybe the pom-poms were just towed by horses.

Very nice indeed.
It is lovely to see such a variety of poses rather than the usual symmetrical crews usually seen around guns.
Excellent work with a real atmosphere.
Best wishes,
Chris

Addition just found this on the Oranje Vrijstaat Artillerie Corps Facebook page.
Just found this awesome photo of the Krupp Vorrathswagen (supply wagon) from a Krupp catalogue kept in a Portuguese museum. This is the exact model the Boers imported as well and the limber I am restoring:

Really good stuff. They are nice sets and you have done a top job with them! Mine are in the long queue of sets waiting to be painted...

I am excite
Having found a picture, I'm tempted to try, as I still have old Airfix limbers in the stash I can use as a starting point
