This finely detailed 1/30 scale figure portrays a Union Light Artillery driver standing beside his saddle, preparing for mounted duty with a field battery during the American Civil War. Responsible for handling and positioning the powerful horse teams that moved cannons into action, artillery drivers played a crucial role in battlefield mobility.

Dressed in Union artillery uniform with shell jacket and forage cap, the figure holds the saddle and tack used to equip his assigned mount. The sculpt highlights the daily responsibilities of artillery support troops, whose work ensured guns, caissons, and ammunition wagons reached the front lines under fire.

Finished in realistic matte tones with finely rendered uniform detail, leather equipment, and period saddlework, this piece adds authenticity to Union artillery gun teams, limber scenes, and encampment displays. An essential support figure for building complete Civil War artillery vignettes.
