Unusual item and looks great.

Those Germans sure are clever. That barrel of beer strategically placed at the front should keep the driver happy.

Normally they do not show up at the front and are generally pulling their weight and that of others in the rear...well it took me a while and the great help of Obee to come up with this ALL METAL ....no fancy high tech plastic Steam Tractor paired to a heavy 8 " Howitzer......this baby has just been released for HQ inspection and is bound to the troop ship soon.....The garrison due to some logistics mess up ( mine ) will follow soon.....
I the world of Artillery I figured out that too much had already been dedicated to the light field guns in the great war...so I was fortunate to tap into some sources and get emblematic samples of the great heavies from the British, German and Austrian stock and will with the help of Obee be showing them during the course of 2016-2017.......

Who made these?
Thanks

They were cast by John Eden and sold via his eBay site.

I have done some checking around and find that the original tractor is also sold by Scale Link, while the original 8 inch howitzer and limber come from 1/35 resin kits made by Resicast.

John also supplied a 5 man crew in maintenance poses for the gun. It came with no instructions and many pieces, so took me quite to some time to assemble but images supplied af the assemble helped.

Thanks for the manufacturer links John ( and Tom for the question). First thing that I thought of was - "Who makes that! Super job John, as usual.

Well done Luiz too - for putting them together and the excellent pics - jb

Wonderful set! Thanks for sharing pictures with us! I'd love to see JJD or K&C do something like this with their First World War series.

Ubique!

Love these artillery tractors! Here are a couple of shots of my Artillery Tractors, one from Trophy, one from Heco Tinplate Models, both all metal.

I also have two all metal airfield tractors, one by Bengurion Models, one by Heco Tinplate Models. Anyone interested in seeing photos of these?
