John - Moving along nicely. I love the headless figures...spooky.

With your dio board, you will need to dig the spades in some or grind them down to give the illusion of being dug in!!

Looks good. 2 small points though. if it is going to be in the firing (emplaced)(in action) position, the draw bar must be rotated 180 degrees to the up position and the bar weapon handling (hand spike) be put in place on the other trail.

Hi John,

Nice work on the 105mm and the figs. It's a cool piece of artillery.
