The last post got hit by the bug so fingers crossed.

I've added the recoiless gun to my collection, just what these guys need a bit more firepower.

Great Brush work!

I couldn't do something like that with a month of Sundays. I also never realized how large that weapon was. Fantastic job.

Beautiful job painting the barrel of the recoilless rifle--the wear and discoloration! That was the first photo that popped up, quite suddenly and it was just very striking.

Nice job!

Those things are both big and incredibly effective, but they still beat pushing a two or three ton anti tank gun around the battlefield.

Thanks guys it's much appreciated

FusilierDan thank you for the kind words, it's a lovely model to paint.

ArmymenRGreat thank you I enjoyed painting, it's nice to be able to add a bit of character to the base.

ColCampbell, it didn't turn out half bad! I'm really enjoy painting my Nam stuff at the minute.

Grelber thank you, the photo came out better then I expected. Its a cracking little model to paint.

TIG thank you my friend, have a happy peaceful Christmas.

troopwo, it's an beast of gun! It's imposing and impressive.

Oberlindes thank you its much appreciated.

Thanks for looking guys and thanks for the feedback, hopefully the next one mounted on a mule turns out aswell. Fingers crossed, all the very best Cheers Russ
