Re: Is it Friday?

Dear Strelets, Peter has made some excellent suggestions. I particularly support his idea to cast the guns in hard and the figures in soft plastic.

Several of those guns are preserved in museums and/or have been very common so dimensions should not be too hard to find. Some links below for starters, can someone add to it please?

Top of my list would be:
- french Canon de 65mm de montagne Mle 1906

- japanese Type 41 75mm mountain/regimental gun
http://www.landships.info/landships/artillery_articles.html?load=/landships/artillery_articles/GebK_M08.html
- austro-hungarian 8cm Feldkanone M 05 or M 05/08
- french Canon de 105mm Mle 1913
http://www.landships.info/landships/artillery_articles.html?load=/landships/artillery_articles/Schneider_105L_M1913.html

http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6551863c/f1n124.pdf
- a 75mm Krupp gun pretty please (widely exported and used in many wars between 1905 and 1945)

Regards, Pa

So many excellent subjects here.The other subject which has been ignored for too long is the British 60pdr - used WW1 and early WW2.
