WW I artillery
« on: June 28, 2007, 04:46:35 PM »
Hi all

Grateful for any information of manufactureres of WW I German artillery in 25/28mm scale.  In particular I am looking for calibres in excess of 10.5cm and up to 42cm.

Thanks in advance

Hi Tadportly

A very hard question to answer with all honesty. I've been reading where the Germans used in China a number of FPW artillery peices  including War trophies from the French that were of a larger calibre and antiquated at the same time. Checkout Wargames Foundry FPW range.

Carlos from TMP mentions using the Cannon Fodder Krupp gun and remodelling a barrel to increase the calibre. Adding a new shield can provide a number of variants.

I was looking at the London War room for the 12pdr Naval Gun carriage, a new barrel from the same company looking very close to a 4.1 inch German gun and large wheels from the Brigade Games Gaslight range to make a Konigsberg gun. Something like that anyway :)

Its not really good tidings actually :|
Best wishes,
Helen
