I see just one glaring mistake, being an old air defender, anyone standing where you have the two guy's forward of the shield, would have thier ear drums burst and they would be swept off of thier feet from the pressure wave of the gun firing!  But it maybe the angle the photo was taken at, it's hard to see exactly how far forward they are.  They seem a little to far forward for them to be safe.

 Other than that it looks excellent!

Besides this being a beautiful build (both the model and the figures), I love the back-drop. It reminds me of my old country (Austria).

Thanks very much guys for your words.Birdgunner you are correct,it`s not the angle,they really are at the front,thanks for the input.Madmel, I love your country also.So here goes another one ,this time,with the 2 observers behind the gun.

Thanks

Pedro, this really looks great; I love the way the dug-out trench looks. Well done- good eye for the detail of the terrain.

Very well done. I love the background in the pics. The white-camo figures are fantastic. I always find those most difficult to pull off well.

I seen a famillar kit like that made by tamiya, but I want to know whats that wagon with appears like caples roll up, whats it purpes with the gun, also what is that figure with the intrument doing? I've seen many artillery with a character doing that but what does it do?

Tanks T-Rex and Johan,for your nice words.The carts are made to attach to de gun,one each side,and then towed by a truck,like the famo 88 ton.the guy with the instrument,i think,it´s to take the distance calculations.

Thanks again

Very nice build all around.  I especially like the photo in your second post.  The trench looks great and the figures are well painted.

Isn't that a great kit?

No matter where you go ....... there you are.
