I laughed saying who would notice but he made them anyway. Shortly after I was in a tourist village/complex and went in the blacksmith shop. I was telling my wife about Jack making new 15 spoke wheels and the blacksmith piped in sayin "Oh, those will be Japanese wheels then". So people do notice.<br />Bob BlackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495520813308796603.post-30967265926904287232017-06-22T08:04:13.201-04:002017-06-22T08:04:13.201-04:00Another new project, very cool!

I will post pictures in the next few days, and let you know. Typically I like Mal's guns that he did for Irregular, but the OG guns are pretty nice - the problem is identifying what (historically) the model represents... since it is just sold as a generic artillery piece. The crew, however, are quite nice, as are all the OG RJW figures.<br />cturnitsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380005283710973072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495520813308796603.post-51478579204335959502017-02-01T14:24:21.651-05:002017-02-01T14:24:21.651-05:00The seats can also be used as cargo space for othe...The seats can also be used as cargo space for other items, which the military observers attached the Japanese armies talked about.

It looks Old Glory has beautifully mangled "Le Creusot", which is not to be confused with Le Creuset (cast iron pots) nor with a wood preserver ... <br /><br />Presumably their model is intended to be the Le Creusot 75mm QF, as shown here: http://samilitaryhistory.org/vol022dh.html <br /><br />Clive Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734079828281213063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495520813308796603.post-67223410306385697472017-01-31T06:49:53.974-05:002017-01-31T06:49:53.974-05:00So they must have stub axles, as it looks like a f...So they must have stub axles, as it looks like a full axle would go through the barrel, and yet the wheelbase is quite wide. Interesting. <br /><br />I'm always amused at how uncomfortable crew look when riding on those jump seats. It makes you wonder if walking might not be preferable. Perhaps the purpose of the seats is not their comfort but to add more weight to the carriage to ensure that the gun doesn't bounce around too much? That said, I can't believe it's possible to stay in contact with the seat/gun at anything above a slow walking pace unless travelling on a very even road (which is one of those beasts closely related to the unicorn, i.e. something that everybody can describe but nobody has ever seen). <br />Clive Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734079828281213063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4495520813308796603.post-14244659656657655272017-01-30T22:26:15.042-05:002017-01-30T22:26:15.042-05:00I'll need something similar when I do my 25...I'll need something similar when I do my 25's.
