As you might remember I scratch build the "Ziege" APC for my imperial guard army. As this vehicle is build to be modular I can use the running gear to accommodate other payloads. The next payload is a self propelled howitzer module. It is called "Bär" (bear) in this configuration. It will be used as a stand in for a Basilisk in Warhammer40K games.

Many more pictures of the new payload and the build process on: link

Nice job. You might want to fit a giant earth spade to stop the whole thing sliding off the deck when it fires. lol

Great work – but I agree that it will need some spades given what I would guess to be a terrific recoil!

The spades are a good idea I think about it

Could be some sort of Electro-mag driver (downpowered so you don't end up shooting the moon instead of dropping the projectile on target). Wouldn't need so much recoil prevention then.

You're gonna need a REALLY long table for that thing to land some shots inbounds!
