It would be great to have you onboard Rob. Anything ancient to modern will work.

That's thinking OTB Rob, I like it, I like it a lot.

I placed a bid on that 24 pdr and just ordered the Trebuchet. I always like coming up with something a little different.

I'm really happy to have you onboard.

wrong GB...oops

Not bad, we're gettin' there!! How many you lookin' to add to launch this as a GB, or, are we a go?

We are a go. I figure more will join in as time goes by.

Perfect!!

I still hope to join, but very likely in the following year.

Found this in the stash, so put me down for an 81mm mortar and crew, Model Victoria 1/35.

regards,

Jack

You got it Jack. Thanks.

I hope to have some bench space by then, having never done any artilary models it might be a good time to start.

No idea what yet, might go with some of our local guys making resin pieces of uor locally made Denel G-5 cannon and G-6 self propelled unit.

For interest sake google the G-5 and see how close Saddam was to using them in the first gluf war.

Theuns

Any one of those would be perfect mate.

I'll make a space for you when your ready.

Roster updated.

Let me know if I've let anyone or anything out, or got anything wrong.

i'm in with something, probably an SSM

well once again i am over committing but since you opened it up a bit and allowing crossovers, put me down for the 1/35 TRUMPETER K-5 RR GUN . will be picking up the OTS ATOMIC CANNON so that may be a possibly too.

Wayne, you got it sir.

Holy smokes! A 1/35 K5, that's gota be massive.

I was hoping you would want to build the Atomic Canon. I'd love to see that.

Steve, I hate to be repetitive but I'd like to change my entry to a Leopold Rail Gun in 1/72 by Hobby Boss.

I know Wayne's doing the 1/35 big boy gun but I'd like to do the little brother in 1/72. I know Cody has sign up for the Hasegawa model but with all these big guns, that front page will look very cool.

Thanks, Terry

You got it Jibber. I'll get you changed over.

Much appreciated.

somebody needs to volunteer a DORA. the HOBBYBOSS looks like a nice kit. if i hadn't already built the HASAGAWA, i would do this as practice for the 1/35. may still do it. as for both the track isn't as easy to paint as the 1/35 and i think the HASAGAWA track is a bit better because the ballast is smaller. both have the ties molded to the ballast and i found i can lay my own track faster than trying to paint the plastic tracks and it looks better. also i think hastily laid railroad gun track would not be elevated like actually long haul tracks.( i know i need to put together a how to)

MC the HASAGAWA doesn't have a breech, just a hole in the back that needs a piece of plastic on the inside.trust me it's easier to do it during building than ater it's built. and the OTS ATOMIC CANNON is in the queue this year, probably when i do the next  1/72 GB.

Wayne,

The missing breach is one of the reasons I'm going to build the Hase Mörser Karl instead (for your RR build, and for my Artillery build), besides It just looks too cool! I don't know anything about the Hase Thor kit that I have, but it looks like it's going to be a fun build.

really easy enough to fix now that you know. the rest is easy though the railings are annoying but they are on all of them. so not only will you have a bunch of rail car wheels and a crap load of armor roadwheels. HA! i

To put on a flatcar I suppose? I see what you doing. Your trying to get me to commit to a flatcar too  

Wayne I seriously considered the Dora/Gustav, but i've committed to a couple of the guys GB's and after my 86 I'm building a WR360 for our build. A couple of the builds are short term projects but just maybe? If I order one I'll build it. Once I get a couple of the builds done I'll have what I need to do it but the track needs to be scratched.

actually these things had a 2 rail truck cantilever system which suspended it in transit. (the german mortar, not the atomic cannon)

Thanks for the box art Wayne, I got it up.

Hi,

A Wasa Ship cannon would be OK?

Yes, yes it would.

In fact Sackgasse,

I will be building a 24 pounder and Trebuchet.

15 days until the Artillery Build starts. Lock and load.

I may be a weee bit past that start date to get my French guns moving!!
