The MODEL ARMOURY Dec Releases (1 Viewer)

[Lurchio]

We are pleased to announce the latest additions to our WW1 range as previewed at the London Toy Soldier Show on 6th Dec.

Firstly, the 9.2 ins Siege Howitzer Mk 1.
This beast weighed in at 13 and a half tons plus a further 9 tons for the earth box used as counterbalance.
It could fire a 290lb HE shell over 10,000 yards.

Our model is presented on a resin base illustrating the holdfast which was required alongwith the dirt box to aid its stability.
The gun is made of a mixture of resin and metal parts and comes with an elevating and traversing barrel, an opening breach and a working shell hoist.
It is supplied with a 4 man crew and a further 4 man add-on crew is also available.

Paint can be khaki or Camo ( as per the Imperial War Museum piece) and in matte or gloss ( gun and crews)
Priced at £295 for the gun and crew and £85 for the add on crew.







Items are in production now and we may even meet a Christmas deadline for those desperate for a present!!

Guys, checked out this new producer at the show and it really is fine work, guns of various sizes with crews and various trucks all featured , some excellent early releases here. Faves would be the 9.2inch Howitzer ala IWM and also a superb camo edition truck.

Great work Clive!

Clive,

Well Done on the production of the massive siege gun ..... it looks SO good, and the have a realistic base to display this beast, you will have to be 'on a winner'.

You mention that it comes with a 4 man crew, but I see 8 figures, so do the other 4 come as a separate set, or does the gun come without gunners and you make 2 x 4 man sets?

Can you also supply better images of the gunners, as they could be useful for manning other makers big guns?

Good news for Aussie collectors is that this gun was used by 2nd Australian Siege Battery (55th Australian Siege Artillery Battery) so will add to our WW1 collections too

Hi John,
The gun comes with a 4 man crew and there is then an add on crew of a further 4 figures available.
As per the descriptive the gun and crew is £295 and the add on crew is £85.

I've had a few queries and just to highlight something important.
Those prices are inclusive of 20% vat which is applied for EEC customers and not charged for non EEC customers.
Net prices would therefore be £245 and £70 respectively.

Hope that helps.
Re the photos, I will post better close ups once I have the production figures as there are some improvements over the prototypes we did quickly for the show.

Best Regards
Clive
