Russian Artillery (Part 8) - City Variant

Good day everyone!

It's been a while since my last post (almost three weeks), due to some exams I had to take (yep, constant learning is my moto). The exams and the preparation for them, didn't stop me from painting however (I needed some time to relax with all this studying). I apologize for not visiting your blogs, I will try to do my best from now on (no exams in the near future...). :-)

Today's photos show a full(?) battery element of Russian Artillery. It consists of 4 guns, 4 GAZ trucks (see post - R.Artillery #7), weapon crews (see post - Reinforcements from the post), officers (see post - R.Artillery #1)  and some ammo boxes/crates (scratch made from balsa wood - not the best ones, but they'll do the job).

This artillery section, is destined to be deployed and used in urban settings, thus the explanation of the bases (viariant).



I have finished two more variants, one for steppes (dirt) settings and one for snow terrain. They will follow in due course.

I hope you like 'em!

C&C are welcome!

      Always busy Fran. Too busy that a day's time doesn't seem enough for a day's work!
      As about the exams, I've no idea of the outcome...the autopsy will bring light to the corpse! :-) Thx!

      Thx Jay. I read somewhere that the only way to get the job done, is to be boring..that's the spirit in my work! :-)

      Thx mate! When you make it piece by piece, you don't see the full pic. But, once they are arrayed and displayed...they look nice!
