Lovely work Mike.

What colour do you use for the shirts? My shirts are a little darker!

Cheers,

Helen

Helen, it's Foundry Night Sky (Light) with a dark wash over the top to tone it down a bit

As a Belgian WW1 player (well starting an army) I would love to see a Krupp 75mm as mentioned above rather than the endless 77s that are turned out - great photo here of what one looked like

Here's a couple of Woodbine Turkish Krupps painted up in a 'highly speculative' Austrian guise....(Pulp deck guns in the background as well).

Nice paint job and nice to see the guns from a different angle. Something a bit off in they way WDC have sculpted/cast the cowl over the barrel but it's good to see one exists.

Of course you know the Austrians didn't use Krupp guns.

Of course, hence the use of 'highly speculative'....and neither did they get involved in post WWI Africa, as they are about to in our next outing......

When you say a 'bit off' re the cowl do you mean as compared to the photo - doesn't look too bad to me though the photo one seems to come down more sharply - and i think the top of the gun shield needs to curve back

Like Helen, I've had the opportunity to examine the genuine article. The curved part that comes down over the barrel, is, in real life, a much narrower aperture than depicted on the model.

Thanks for that - I have been looking for a 75mm for my Belgians so I will have to think about about things a bit more

[Ignatieff]

It's patently obvious from the model that the mantlet is to loose/open, but still a good model!
