Gosh, that's an impressive diorama, malaula. Well done! Some of the Great War's artillery pieces look so crude, but their raw power was terrifying.

Best wishes
Nigel

An extremely well done diorama with a somewhat unusual looking gun, the up-turned wagon is excellent.

Thanks Nigel,Des,Mack and jörg! Mack,the gun and tractor are GB-Modelli Resin kits,the horse cart is from Jadar models,and all figures are conversions based on HÄT,Airfix,Emhar and Caesar miniatures,everything else is scratchbuilt,all to 72nd scale.
The GB-Modelli kits are quite expensive but well worth the money featuring crisp details and bubble free casting they are fun to build!

Now knowing that it is 1:72 scale makes it even more impressive, very well done.

Yes, that's lovely work.

A very unusual artillery piece.  I really like the fore-shortened photos of the gun.  Nice share

I can see we're going get a great collection of WW1 modelling in this thread.

Malaula,
            You are the 1/72nd WWI diorama king in my very humble opinion. This, and the others you've posted are simply wonderful.
