Howitzer Update (1 Viewer)

[Gunn Miniatures]

Dear All

A few pictures of our 155mm Howitzer which is nearing completion as we speak, in the meantime we thought you would enjoy these pictures. The first variant will come with four x USMC Winter crew for Korea plus two add on crew if required. There will also be a WW2 and Indochina version for fans of these series later on in the new year.

Thank you to Marl Holoboski for his input with this project, it has been invaluable.

Excellent gun here. Esp. looking forward to the WWII version.

Yes looks very nice indeed and look forward to seeing the Indochina version.:salute::
Would like to see some ready ammunition available for this whether as part of set or as an add on, much like K&C do for their 105mm

Excellent news on this forthcoming release. I do look forward to seeing the Indochina version in the New Year.

Cheers,

This I can hardly wait for. I've been looking for this kind of release for some time. It is so versatile for so many themes.

One question: First release edition...when?

Thank you,

Carlos

Tom,

nice looking gun and I'm now looking forward to seeing the 'hot and sweaty gunners' who will serve this beast !!!

I notice that the breech is half way open/shut.
Is this moveable so that we can use it in firing or loading drill?
If not, that is no problem, but does limit it as it can't be used for firing !

Well done,
John

Good Question John !:salute::
Depends on what crew are doing I guess. Hopefully it is or they will do a version with breach closed as well, in which case might be better to sell crews separate to the guns maybe ? But then you'll need sculpts for two different crews as well, which might not be a bad thing depending on sales I guess !

That is a fantastic looking piece of artillery! Well done TG! :salute::

Are the spades on the side of the trails removable so they can be positioned on the end-trails in firing position? how about the square plate stabilizer, is that also removable so it can be installed in the firing jack?

Good point you make ...... I hadn't noticed that this gun is setup for travelling, but with the trails open with spades attached on them and the barrel travel lock in position.
In this position it cannot be used for firing or loading.

We shall see what comes back from Tom?
