Title: VBCW BUF Assault Gun
Post by: AKULA on March 07, 2010, 12:50:29 PM
Picked up another Pzr I last weekend, and decided to convert it into a hypothetical assault gun variant for A Very British Civil War.

Chassis - An Empress Miniatures Pzr I
Gun/Shield/Howitzer Shells - Scratchbuilt
Stowage - from various BEF Miniatures vehicles
Crew - Gunner looking over shield (Empress SCW gunner)  loader (Great War Miniatures)

Yup.

In typical VBCW style, though, its not designed as a superweapon!

It can only carry 3 rounds, loading is a slow manual process, the crew are pretty exposed, despite the gun shield, and there is always the chance that firing the gun will damage the vehicle.... lol

The recoil would probably send that poor little panzer I a mile back.
Lovely vehicle! :-*
