Hi everyone. There's been a good deal of chat recently regarding the SCW, so I thought you might be interested to see some of the things on the workbench at the moment. This is less that half of whats planned for the next few months  . Here are some Italian bits and bobs.

i just buy the gun and i don't know how to mount it....help!! a lot of little wheels...

[Keith]

 

Right.
Deep breath ... and ...

Fit the trail inside the front of the gun shield. It hooks up and under, and the shield should be pretty much vertical. That bit is important.

The two flat square seats fit on either side of the shield at the front. The one with a hole in the front fits on the right. Each one has a 'U' shaped step that is attached to the front and leans outwards and downwards at about 45 degrees.

The gun sits in the cradle and the barrel is fed through the front of the shield.

The sight (small thin 'tube' with a block on both ends) fits on the left of the gun breech - you can see this in the photos.

Trail 'spike' (curvy handle) fits on the end of the trail (a-la photos).

Slide the crew seats under the breech into the channel. These look like a curved rod with a flat seat at each end, or thesame with the seats missing. Choose either ones with or without seats attatched - noting that the figures themselves have seats moulded onto their bums if if you are going to crew it.

There should be three little wheels.
Two are slightly bigger, and the other slightly smaller  .
The small wheel goes into the front of the right-hand fold down seat that sits on the front of the gun shield.
The two bigger ones are travese and elevation wheels - these fit in the holes on the breech and cradle (you can see one through the spokes of the wheels in the picture above).

Stick the wheels on.

Bingo!

I hope that this helps. Once youve got the big bits together then all of the small parts actually have holes or ledges etc. for mounting.

You know, I think that gun and crew are about the nicest I've seen in any scale and of any range. It's quite lovely.

thank you for your help, but when i follow your instructions, but there is more pieces than you say... this gun is a hell

I need some pictures

[Keith]

 

Email mail@empressminiatures.com and I will do what I can to help. I've got some built ones here, and will try to photograph them from as many useful angles as I can. I'll add the pictures to the website too!

Oh yes - I left the wheel break off of my description too! A curvy pole with a small break-block at each end (resting against the back of the wheel in the picture). That sits neatly under the trail.

Hi keith,

I don't find the italian truck on the empress website. Is it available ?
Hope it will come with drivers and crew...

great mini anyway

[Keith]

Hi There,

It's on it's way (honest). We expanded our plans for it a little bit to include a driver and make a few tweaks to the master etc. so it fell back into the release queue a bit.
Hopefully it will see a late May/June release.
