HLBC 28mm WW1 8 inch Howitzer

Just a quick post this arvo,

You really need to find an excuse to get any one of the HLBC BIG guns and mine came this year as part of the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge, one of the bonus rounds is a big gun and believe me this is a Big Gun !

Based on the figure scale the wheels are 6ft high, you do not want a shell from this bad boy landing nearby.

These never made it to Mesopotamia which is were my collection is based, but two turned up in Palestine in 1917 with 6 tanks so that will do nicely!

Fantastic painting.  Should the barrel of the gun be moved a bit to get the trunnion into the cradle ?

Nicely done!

Little big for my needs, but I live in hope of a decent 4.5 Inch Howitzer! :)

Where do you get these HLBS cannon. They don’t seem to be on their website. https://www.hlbs-redux.co.uk/#/

I've one floating round the junk draw if your interested.Plus if your off to Partizan on the 18th then I'm more than happy to drop it off for you.
YG always worth looking at your threads.lovely set piece ( admittedly it'd look even nicer with one of my Holt tractors :D)
