Planebuilder62 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi there This is my first WIP posting on BM. I always wanted one of these sets from when I was 8 years old so I went and bought one last year. So far I have assembled the bodies of the gun crew. To provide the impression of movement, most of the figures have needed some surgery to the arms, legs and hands as the basic Historex figure is made to be ´at attention’. The next step is to tidy up the joints and prime ready for paint. Also in this set is a limber with 2 horses. I think I will get 2 more horses as it was normal to tow the gun with either a 4 or 6 horse team. The base the diorama is undecided. Something simple with sand and rocks will probably the way to go. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 One small point. You've got the handspikes in the rear of the trail the wrong way round. The stepped end should fit into the small rings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planebuilder62 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for that Niall, I thought they were a bit loose. Do you know if they stayed in place when thegun was fired? Regards Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yes they would be in place when the gun fired. They are used to lift the trail so the gun can be aimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
