Minor Project - QF 13-Pdr Model, 13/11/18

Finally the modelling for the gun has come to an end. With the addition of the supporting structure came the fittings for the handles and axel allowing all the components to fit together. With that in mind there was a need to model an additional part of the gun shield that is folded away by the trail pole. This was only noticed after looking over the images from the last post which caused come confusion but was not too much of a significant change. This component was less apparent from the side as it is folded away to avoid damage during transport and swung down during combat. Aside from that there were not too many major changes added.

Craddle supporting the gun with handles supposedly for adjusting angle

Craddle without the gun showing the lack of working mechanism
Despite the lack of mechanical workings I hope that the gun carries the sense of a working machine of war. Feedback is welcome!
