Hi
Shawn Thanks I'm happy with the way they are now I've cleaned the excess glue off them.
Raoul I remember playing that game was fun. Still looking for some figure's.
Philipp It would have made my life easier if they were cast in 2-3 pieces.
Vlad The end results very nice but just very awkward getting there. Artillery train that would be fun.

As for the build I did some over the weekend but now I need to consult my photo's for the fittings as the Verlinden drawings aren't very helpful.
So Main carriage is on the Axle.

Image
The Barrel has had the end glued on & filled
Image
The Ammo trailer is a neat assembly.
Image
Image
Image
Image
All these parts will need a bit of glue clean up. :roll:
Next thing is all the fixings that hang from the carriage & Ammo trailer.

Some fine detail there Shaun. I loved the wheel, this is really turning into something novel.

Hi
Sorry not been on for a while. :(
Thought I'd updated this with the completed build photo's prior to painting but seemed to have forgotten. :shock: :oops:

Over the weekend I base coated & then sealed this yesterday.

I have also managed to find some figure's which I'll use eventually for a diorama.

Welcome back Shaun! :D

I have to join Pille here in mentioning that the gun looks veeeery impressive! :D :D
Certainly something different but looking at this there should be more pre-1914 pieces!



Best regards

Hi
Still busy with this build ;) , Cant take any pic's at the moment my lens has packed up :evil:
I've given the whole thing a wash & now a Matt coat & have found a suitable crew ( have started painting these as well).

Hi
New camera lens arrived Friday :D So took a few test shots to check it out.
Here's some of the figure's I will be using in a diorama involving the Cannon.

They are from Des Resin plus 1 odd figure from Cromwell models, using 7 in total.
They still need a matt coat & some dirtying up a little .
