I really hate painting gun carriages and wagon spoke type wheels. Whew. I'm glad I got that off my chest.
Imperial Chinese artillery manning a breechloader.
The Chinese Krupp mountain gun Model 1895 is a variant of the 75mm gun which was designed for portability in mountainous regions. It was used by the Chinese in various conflicts; from the First Sino-Japanese War all the way up to World War II. Both the Tenacious Army and the Kansu Braves had the Krupp model 1895.
The cannon is from Askari Miniatures which has many fine lines of artillery and other Colonial miniatures and accessories.
Since it's a breech loader, I am out of a job since I have a linstock used with muzzle loaders. Maybe I can hold a banner when my replacement shows up.
The replacement.
