Little big gun taking shape!

Here a new shot of my 1/72 French 155mm Schneider Howitzer. I’ve just started on the spoked wheels for the gun itself, but there’s another set, slightly smaller for the carriage… [B)]

WOW, keep up the good work man…look forward to seeing it finished!!

Is that a scratchbuild project? I’m impressed.

You never cease to amaze me Domi. What you can achieve in 1/72nd puts us 1/35th guys to shame, although the Blue part does make it look like it would not be out of place in a Star Wars dio!

its not painted yet!!! WALLY!!! although he does have a point…

No, it IS painted. See, the French at this time painted all their cannon white, with the barrels being a transluscent blue.

It was a look.

wow, amazing work DJ! Truly incredible! I knew the french had white flags, but cannons too? [:D][(-D][;)]

(dont kill me piwi!)[;)]

Thanks for your kind words, Guys. Indeed it is a scratch project. I’m working from a set of drawings, a 1/76 resin kit from somewhere (but that is quite different from the references I have!!), and great pics from the Brussels Army Museum, via the Landships website. Quite fun despite my initial aprehensions… I like a touch of colour in my models… LOL The blue bit is a section of a section of a brush handle…

Amazing scratchbuilt work yet again, Domi.

OOPS!!![:o)][:I][xx(] sorry, ill keep quiet!!!
