seeing as I am not able to edit my reply (more than once), I will try again, now I found a workaround to the picture upload problem. (if the pictures are hosted elsewhere, you can paste a link here and the pic will show.)

 

Third time’s the charm, as the saying goes:

IT’S SLEDGEHAMMER TIME!

 

 

Pictures all present and in ordah, SAH!

 

This is the “Sledgehammer BFG” from Victoria Miniatures by ways of the Reaper Bones third kickstarter.  The gun and carriage is in HIPS polystyrene plastic and the crew are in Bones PVC material, the rubbery type. All apart from the range finder part are one piece, with tabs beneath their feet to fit seperate slotted 25mm round bases in a similar style to 40k. There is also a large oval base for the piece, but I did not use that here.

The range finder-piece was completely wonky even after boiling, and I ended up having to drill through it and insert a pin to get it to be something approaching straight. The crew are slightly smaller than similar models from the Imperial Guard, sorry, Astra Militarum from Warhammer 40k which this model clearly is meant for.

 

I have not actually painted any large vehicles or similar kits like this in a very long time, and have never really tried my hand at weathering or any of that lark. So the results are not all that either.

Also, I think I should have done the piece in a different color more consistent with the uniforms I ended up doing, maybe added some camo netting or something. Also I probably should have looked into how to do weathering properly -I don’t even have a sponge. And maybe I should get my airbrush up and running again.

Not to mention to look at how real life artillery markings are.

Oh well.  It is perfectly servicable for the tabletop.
