Wow looks great Wayne, right down to the stores to supply an entire army. Robin.
 
Wayne,

That is going to look terrific in the DIO.

Can't wait to see it in real life on the weekend.

Wayne mate,
Bloody Outstanding cobber. Can't wait to see the final Dio when it is finished. You are a legend even for a Queenslander.^&grin

Guns and Gunners about to head off to lay down a barrage on the peninsula in April 1915.

Brilliant modelling on your behalf, but who made the 18 Pounders????

That's impressive.

John,
Both are Hinchliffe white metal models, the 18 pounder I got as is and the 13 pounder I assembled and painted myself, found them on ebay.
Great job!

Gentlemen thank you.
 
Wayne...
very nice job on the barge...
you are very creative in your projects...
I especially like how you have it lashed down in the eye bolts...
 
Exceptional!Some incredible detail on the barge.The guns are outstanding-I have never seen them before.Well done that man.
 
Really fabulous work Wayne, you've become quite the artist and I am most sincere in that statement. I would make one suggestion from someone who regularly deals with the transportation of Large, Heavy objects, your rigging would send the barges load to Davy Jones's locker on the first mild wave. {sm4} Since you're dealing with Naval personel I'd bet you'd see a lot of block and tackle, they might even nail wood blocks in front and rear of the wheels and strap across the axles.... to begin with. From a modelling perspective I have seen many wooden ship building sites that stock all kinds of Nautical rigging as well as block and tackle. Your attention to detail is obvious and truly is what makes the scene Jump! Hope this doesn't offend, it's certainly not intended that way I just know from the sharp upward curve of your artistry that you love the details.

No offence taken, as I have been working on the just that, just hadn't finished the items as there are only 'x' amount of hours in any given day.......:wink2:
