I think I can help with the Schneider Mountain gun as I most likely have on in kit format, not sure I still have the box art work. Please let me know if you are interested. Send me a PV and we can discuss that.

What you have there is a Maxim Machine gun and shield and one of the wo sailors that came with the set, one would be seated at the gun and the other standing with ammo feeding the gun. The French soldier that you see in the mould is the mule handler for the broken down Schneider gun on transport by mules....See pics of the gun attached, just that I had Little Legion infantry man

the horse must be for the WW2 German supply wagon as the harness is not for a load animal

Now THAT is "interesting" Thankyou. We are just building a German "Light Field Wagon" now as a new Display Model, err so better check again the Box Artwork Photo for those Horses. Strage the "Mule" head and body should be in among this though. We DO have early Mountford Boxart which does show this animal with harness.....hmmmm

Hi Major, as I said what you have is not a Swarzlose machinegun, but a maxim and its shield, missing the wheels, cart and the seated sailor manning the gun as the one sailor feeding the ammo is in the cast as is the French WW1 soldier that is manning the muel train carring a schinider mountain gun broken down in transport loads.

We Inherited a Tooling range and design from A LOT of differrent toolmakers and ages.. This has consequences in workshop casting methods and time taken on certain product Moulds. My Pet hate right now is Spoked Wagon or Gun control wheels....Fine items like Swords Bows Daggers Helmets Heads and Reigns no problem at all finaly....

One day if successfull enough at this game, we will re make specific toolings to improve speed of production time. Rosedale put for example, ? The Round Table SEPARATE SHIELDS just two IN A UN RELATED MOULD....THINK HOW MANY RUNS TO CAST one TABLE FULL, unwise ; and certain soldier and officer figures...I will re tool to make dedicated Moulds for these annoying occurrences Saves a shed full of time
The Major
One compensates the irregular rotations, by use of weights, and various home made inventions in the workshop to prevent the worset erratic revolutions..and equaly eratic castings Ahemmmm

Its the only way to use a few of our rather "special" or older toolings. Its no everything , but i did find a few wee duplicated Toolings Abram never told us anything about.....tut tut....
The Major
I will be posting more later on. I am lining up some special offers for opening time customers as well, its first come first served, the "specials" are a one off so when its gone its gone. Cheerio for now....

The Moulds vary enormously however in WEIGHT, Thickness and Density, and every single one has its own UNIQUE centrifugal behaviour inside any Machine. Some alas were BENT upon arrival from N.Z. , one or two LEAKED OUCHHHH but generaly its been FAR BETTER than I initialy feared
