I got this from a friend and thought I'd take some time and paint it since I am still in the (yes, I said *still*) process of finishing my basement gaming/painting/family area. There were no instructions as to where pieces went so I had to make some intelligent guesses from the sample picture on the Westwind site. 

This piece and crew will be used in conjunction with the game Secrets of the Third Reich - an alternate history game with several science fiction and horror based twists to it. There will be some vehicles, battlesuits, and mecha in the game so the gun will, eventually get some work. The gun and crew are from the Berlin or Bust line and are a bit smaller than the SOTR figures

 

I was concerned about storing the gun and also about it being handled on the game table so I decided to mount it on a piece of airplane plywood I got for another purpose from Litko Aero.  I put sheet vinyl magnet on the bottom and glued the gun to the base. In retrospect, what I should have done was mount the wheels on a piece of metal that would run under both wheels and then magnetize that to the larger base. Then I would have had the option to use it on or off the base. The biggest problem right now is that the crew can't get tucked up behind the gun shield.

Nice model, nice miniatures....
