Hi Guys latest dio, no rails this time . This dio was built using two retrokits resins and w-d figs and bike. which is amazing in this scale
This gun carrier was used in july 1917 in france the idea was to be able to carry large guns over rough ground easily, and remains the first self propelled vehicles as it could fire the gun from carrier but was more often dismounted at a firing point. the gun was carried on a sledge at the front and the wheels on the sides of the carrier it could carry a 60 pounder or a 6 inch gun, please forgive me all of you who know all this but thought it needed a little info.
The first pic shows the model as it would appear carying the gun but for my dio I decided to have the carrier at the firing point with the gun being lowered to the ground with one wheel attached and the other being brought round to gun also carrier being unloaded.
Hope you like, welcome any questions.
