The Navy's here - matelot hauled limbers

After a number of false starts eventually I got a combination of the Hat sailors that looked something like they were hauling a gun and limber. There are a couple of oddments mixed in, but I leave that for those interested to identify. The limber is the old RHA limber from Airfix with "shoes" added to spread the load on sand. At the moment I'm still using the Airfix RHA gun, but an older split trailed version was used in Egypt.

A close up version


and the idea came from the Perry's in 28mm.

Excellent! All components come together so well, including the basing that really makes the stand pop.

Cool! They are obviously "taking up the slack" so no need for someone to hold the trail to stop it digging in. Would they have had a sling for the first two Gunners to do that?
