That's a great looking start and a much better use of slotta bases :-) |

Do the bases still have their textured surface? |

Those are BIG guns for firing from a regular rail car. And it doesn't look like they have any recoil absorbers. |

Your observation Chick Lewis is quite correct…but this is a VBCW project and the heath robinson style is all the vogue – build it and then see if it works |

For the guns on the end, you may want to add some of the cover shields, can't remember the exact name for them, but a lot of guns have a shield around the front to keep the crew and the gun safer. |

I am thinking the same thing |

Wow, it looks great even with just the base coat!
You should also post this in a new topic. A lot of TMPers might mis it in this old one. |

Eric, only thing with it is that the back probably ought to be curved or something because it looks like it might have limited motion due to the back. |
