Looking good. I couldn't imagine being on the receiving end of that cannon once let alone a non stop week long barrage from one of those beasts that was common in The Great War. I was wondering are your using a brush for the cammo or are you using an airbrush?

Looking real good, Tobias. Got mine in the mail today. Did not realize just how big this gun is 'til I opened the box. The barrel is about as long as a British Mk.IV Tank.

I use, like on the real gun a brush for the camo.

Hey Tobias!
I don't know how I just missed your bild till now!
I am building the 'little' 210mm Morser, the Skoda 350 is next in line and I ma considering buying the bigger sister as well. Can you compare the kits?
If you want to add some more ammo, I cloned the one in the kit with plasticine and ceramic plaster. They tourned out ok fair enought to pile them on the side of the gun ready to be loaded.
You are doing a great work both on the figures and the gun itself.
Keep on the great work!
ciao

The Germans used a brush for painted the rel life Bertha? It must have been very big.

I think he means for applying the spots, not the base color.

Really like the added details, particularly the ammo cart and track. They look great.

Looking real good Tobias! I am doing a build review on this beast right now, I hope you don't mind if I steal some of additional details you have added? What did you use for the head of the rammer?

You´re welcome Colin. I used a resin Barrel and a lot of green stuff.

Looks good Tobias. What did you use for the base color? It looks like a pale green.

Looks fantastic. I *really* want one of these. I can hear my wallet and my wife both yelling at me at the same time.

Thanks.
As I saw that Takom will made this gun I thougth it´ll cost a lot. But I payed only 38 € for this big gun, so my wife don´t blame me for buying this one.
