Hi guys


new gun from pit models very good kit built out of box, figures came with it but are not very good.


I have placed it as shelling port arthur in the russo- japenese war in 1904


Shading of gun washed out a bit in photos.

Wonderful work barry.


The paintwork on the gun is well done and weathered.


Of note is the exceptional groundwork,everything blends well together.


Top Notch for me.

Great work on the gun and what an amazing subject. Got to agree with Ralph about the groundwork though, that is beautifully done and the whole presentation is excellent.

It's nice to see a love of artillery pieces on here and the creations painting and weathering portrayed here are just so well done. It's really nice the way the groundwork has been so well done.


Detail in the gun is very wel presented and it's a very nicely weathered.


Really worthy of a super build in my books


Regards


Robert

Great work Barry the howitzer looks fantastic, it's a pity about the figures ( I know it's not your fault ) but they are well painted.
