Very nice. It looks great. I hadn't thought of using the Trumpeter USMC Mortar Team as an artillery crew. They seem to work well. The only things I would recommend changing are the small wheels on the outsides o the trails. These are not used on US M198s.

Nicely done.
Especially great work on the truck.
The only thing I'm not crazy about is having anything stick out from the base.
I just find it tends to loose the whole illusion of a dio.
Just my opinion,a personal thing I guess.

What do you mean? Do you mean that the ground is too flat, not relief enough?

The barrel over hanging beyond the bases perimeter perhaps? I am just guessing?
