FARMERS' BIG GUN

The Marlbrook Agricultural Militia, notwithstanding having lots of infantry types (plastic, courtesy of EM-4 Miniatures), lack all forms of support equipment. Attention has therefore turned to the provision of a suitable "Big Gun" for future games, and this interesting conversion recently popped up on the VBCW Facebook page:

Farmers' "Big Gun" - Perry ACW Cannon with scratchbuilt gun shield
and Wargames Atlantic French Resistance "Partisans" Gun Crew.

A useful reminder that all sorts of plastic multi part figures, stripped of their weapons, are jolly useful for gun crews and other support types - and that a gun shield converts pretty much anything into the 1930s:

Gun shield - corrugated cardboard covered in varnish for hardness and durability.
This cardboard modelling thing seems to be gaining in VBCW popularity...

Note : unfortunately, we didn't keep the name of the modeller when nicking the above photos from the VBCW Facebook page, sorry. Anybody wishing to claim the credit please leave a comment below!
