Giving in once again to my GADD (Gamer's ADD) disorder, I spent a few hours this weekend making up a sci-fi homage to the vaunted German 88mm AA/AT gun (known variously as Flak 41, Pak 18, or "Oh, crap! It's a --"). I've always loved the predatory look of the 88, especially when mounted on the cruciform mount rather than a wheeled carriage. To that end, here is a sci-fi version with choice of six different barrels. I don't know what each of them shoots, but I'm sure it's some combination of particles, kinetics, plasmas, rayses, and quantums. Components:
A couple of the various barrel options:

Me Likey! Those would be great to use with one of the armies I'm working on in my New Guinea War 2099 project. Once I have a little more I'll consider picking some of those up. Maj. Diz Aster firebaseares15.blogspot.com |

That is really cool! Could use it in Nazi from space games as a sci-fi version of the German 88's For Which I have been thinking of getting a couple of the 1/35 scale German 88's, with some conversion work, and have them as planetary defence guns. |

Thanks, all! @Razor78: Sure! I'll scale it up this weekend and post the link to it on my Shapeways store when it's ready. |

Very nice indeed its good to see a selection of barrel options, i can see these as being the main objective in a behind the lines commando raid type scenario. |

Very good looking cannon! Not much chance of 6mm, with all that detail I guess . . . |

Order's up! shpws.me/zebp Covert Walrus, I can happily make a 6mm version for you, but, yes, a lot of the detail will be lost. |
