Ah it warms my heart to see that stolid pair of "Soixante Quinze" on the firing line! Lovely work. Are those from the set from Great War Miniatures?

Did you forget to finish painting the guns.......or am I missing the historical significance?

The bottom of the gun shields and the wheel rims are white.  I am not familiar with the paint schemes of WW1 French artillery so I was just asking.

lol...might be a problem with the picture... they are painted in a kind of light sand color, the same I use on my figures' bases to represent dirt... I could have/should have painted them in a slightly darker tone ;D

Maybe the problem is with Sterling's monitor, because they are not white for me, but a dusty sandy colour, as Calimero says.
