German Gun Line 1914

Ready to pound the BEF...

 I have managed to fix the problem with the back to front gun shields and we now have a suitably impressive looking gun line to support the Kaiser's infantry. Once again, figures from the lovely Tumbling Dice "Old Contemptibles" range. 

I have the British artillery next in the WW1 painting queue and am looking forward to adding a bit of khaki to the collection.

...this time with the gun shields the right way round!
However, next up are the long overdue ACW cavalry. Once these are done I am free to push ahead with my own projects, primacy for the rest of this year will be the Great War collections.

  3. Ah yes that's much better but shouldn't there be 14 lateral rivets above the gun hole not12?

    1. A common mistake. Models manufactured in September 1913 had 12 lateral rivets and spot welding on the other holes to save time. But only on models made by the Pfalzinger brothers who sat on the left side of the factory. Except on Tuesdays.
