The Ottoman Big Guns Completed

Yesterday saw the completion of the second and third of the Kolunburna gun sets for the Ottomans. These two sets are in the loading poses, while the first set is in firing poses. 




Again, since these are position guns, I have put them behind some sort of protection, using up the last of the gabions I had stock, although I ran short and had to construct one base with a slightly different emplacement.




Then all three pieces together in battery.





Next on the painting table are the remaining two field batteries.

  1. They look great Mark and love the mix of gabions and fences etc, plus the variety of the loading and firing poses:).

    1. Thanks Steve. There would have been more gabions, but I ran out and had to make the last half gabion by making a push mould.

  2. Very nice Mark - the basing on these is particularly effective - I must get a box of those gabions one day......

    1. The plastic gabions are a nice set, they go nicely with the plastic barrel sets.

  4. Beautiful work Mark. This is going to be an impressive gun line when completed. The logs look like they were meant to be.

    1. Thanks Lawrence...of course I have no idea where they would have found logs like that in the desert!

  5. Impressive guns indeed Mark…
    The Ottomans were very fond of there artillery… so you could probably get away with even more…
    I’m sure the French squares would enjoy that a lot😈

    All the best. Aly
