Daniel_Roxy Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Just done with the legs. Now for all the small details. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Nice work. As an artillery man, I can tell you that those legs are called "trails". This is an M198 155mm towed Howitzer. Four strong men could lift the trails from or to the pintle at the back of a 5-ton truck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
