now paints and bases the model.
Moving both forward and backward in time, Houston's Naval and Land Weapons continue to offer gamers and modelers wider choices.
For the first time, this time-honored range now offers anti-submarine warfare weapons of the First World War. With the invention of the depth charge, dropping it on a U-boat became the next trick.
Rolling charges off the stern was the first step, and now a small rack holding three at a time can now be added to your first sub-chasers.
In order to cover a wider area on each side of a small ship, the "Y-Gun" soon followed.
For larger vessels where the centrally mounted "Y-Gun" was impractical, the "K-Gun" filled the bill.
Finally, as each system needed to be reloaded as quickly as possible, ready racks with short cranes made the job safer and easier.
Finally, the original early Whitehead-type torpedo tube is now complemented by a twin-tube arrangement.
Returning to the Colonial Wars of the 19th Century, our Field Artillery offerings have expanded again.
For the Egyptian and other armies, the classic Krupp "square breech" gun is now available.
A classic piece famously appearing alongside the British forces in India, and often pulled by elephant, was the distinctive 40-pdr Armstrong.
A short-lived but famous piece of Imperial improvisation was the so-called "International Gun" cobbled together by the defenders of the Legation Quarter in Peking, now available for the first time anywhere.
In Asia, British Imperial forces had to face some formidable guns of their enemies. This is the replacement design for the previous Burmese 6-pdr "Fish Gun."
The Chinese were always famous for their iconic artillery designs, and two more new ones have been added. First, a Heavy/Siege Gun.
The second one can be seen in contemporary illustrations, exotic enough to serve in a fantasy army as well – The Chinese "Fish Gun" cart.
