105mm howitzer (15mm)

[Fitz]

Here's a WWII German 105mm LeFH18 (?) howitzer, 15mm (1:100), 3d printed quite a long time ago and finally finished off.

The crew are a mixture of Peter Pig metals and 3d printed, and the base is a honking great big fender washer. The big washer may have been a mistake; it adds a lot of weight to the group, and it may imperil the figures a bit under the mashing of great sausage-fingers.

The gun is a later model, with pressed-steel wheels and a muzzle brake, but painted in Dunkelgrau for pre-1943 service. After then they would have been in Dunkelgelb, and most likely in a three-colour camo scheme.

As far as actual wargaming goes, it's largely pointless, as guns like this are almost always going to be off-table. Never mind though.

Nicely done

I do like a nice artillery park, which smaller scales do allow. Even if they are just by the table to remind you that you have them on call!

Nice model.  Think in terms of a small scale skirmish raid behind enemy lines to suppress the guns and all of a sudden there are those guns right in the middle of the action.  And show us photos of that game when it occurs!
