Awesome to see one of the Rubicon artillery offerings.  I don't often see many, let alone examples like yours so well executed, it looks fantastic!

Looks absolutely fantastic , great job on the paint jo as well . My only negative is I think it should have a larger base .

Thanks for the kind words guys!  ;D

Ripley:

Yes agreed, it could have done with a larger base. I picked up a pack of 3 100mm (as i remember) bases from a show and they were the biggest the store had to offer. originally i hoped my Pak43 might fit lol....nah....and yeah it was a push to get the 88 on. I do have a bandsaw but a descent circle is a push for me.

Cheers all,

Going to get my SDKFZ 251/22 done this weekend  ;D

I think the gun without the wheel sets might have worked better . Bases for larger vehicles and guns are hard to find in my area too .  Always wanted to build a 251/22 , can't wait to see yours

Very good.

It would suit placement in ruined buildings.

A compass cutter might help.

You might need to use two or more pieces to get your desired thickness.

Compass cutter...Hmmm, That's umm....yes...very obvious...and i don't know why I haven't looked at getting one before. Been working with PVC "paylite" recently and that would help alot.....well thats going into my cart.

Thanks for the advice!
