Hi guys, first post here.
I'm a keen model maker and also play Warhammer table top war games. As a result, I am looking for a suitable model to match the picture below for some of my games. I already have a couple of Dragon 6392 models, but I need to find a 1/35 artillery piece with a nice chunky main gun. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks.

Of course for that kind of money, you could probably find a woodworking or model engineer friend with a lathe and get something turned out of maple or, even better, a rod of acrylic or poyurethane resin.
Dead simple.

How about getting one of those Sturm Tigers ( with interior ) and use the gun on a kitbashed ground mount . Someones got to have cheap artillery pieces for the wheels and trail. .
LHS has Tamita 75mm pak for $10.00 A couple of kits gets you 4 wheels , some plastruct beams to bulk up the gun carridge .Or steal some of the kids Lego , some of those sets have really cool wheel sets . Thats the way I would do it .
