From Barks: 15mm WW1 artillery crews (62 points)

I painted one of these guns and crews in 2016 for AHPC VII, my first Challenge. I painted the guns in 2017. For Hawkins' Hill, I've pulled my finger out and painted the remaining crew. Silver Whistle convinced me to go 40mm round bases.



16x 15mm +32 (just the crew, not the tubes)
Hawkins' Hill +30

So this leaves me with five locations complete, and I'm bracing myself for an attempt on the northeast face of Snowlord's Peak.

PS: FYI there are no apostrophes in Australian placenames.


Those gun crews look spiffing. Five locations done? I'll pass you over to the tender ministrations of Curt for your next Island challenge.

    Really nice guns and crews, congrats even if it did take you 3 years to complete. I do like the round bass too and terraformed them nicely.
    Thanks for the grammar tips.

      In BarksTime, 3 years is a blink of an eye...

    Having just taken five years to complete three 1/72 models myself, I would say you are proceeding at a rush! Well done, they look great.

      I know, I should have left them to mature longer...

    Great guns!!

    Nice that you could get back to these after a little hiatus. The break served them well.

    No apostrophes!? Wow weird. What, they didn't get offloaded from the transports and New Zealand got extra?

      I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice! I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

      Smoke and mirrors, mate. I apparently need a better handler.

    We just save the apostrophes for people's names you see :-)

    Nice artillery park JB - now you need to do some small vignettes with massive piles of expended shells!

    Fantastic looking battery. The round bases were a good call.

    Thank you; some things sit in the pile for far too long.
