A few photos of the 8" howitzer, this now just needs the shell crane constructing although it will likely be removable as it will be delicate

Next up will be the traction engine to pull the gun

What is the source of this gun? Are they still available?

There is a photo on page 54 of the history of the 12th Engineers showing two Whippet Tanks in Roisel. There was both a standard and narrow gauge line in Roisel, though they are not visible in the photo. Roisel was not a very large town and there wasn't much of it standing by the time of the Battle of Cambrai when the photo was taken. The document can be found here. http://archive.org/details/cu31924027818099

It might be PLM castaways

We have a few of their figures.

 

Whereabouts on the 7mm Assoc. website did you see them?

 

Cheers

It was on their 2010 Gallery. Here is a link to one of the images showing the figures on display - both painted and unpainted on a flat black board with labels.

Where are you sourcing figures from?

Very interesting project. I am considering a similar project depicting the US 12th Engineers at the Battle of Cambrai.

I saw photos of Great War military figures in numerous different poses on the 7mm Assoc web site, but have not been able to determine who makes and or sells them. Can someone point me to a website or mail address for them?

Thanks,
