Schneider Gun

Schneider 75mm gun.

Guns like this were sold all over the world.

I only got one from BUM I think, it was in a collection I got.

I decided to paint it up as a US Army, militia gun.

It is not a great model, but it painted up okay.

I used the colors popular for US Army weapons at the end of the 1800's.

It looks a lot like most WWI era guns.

As far as I know, it was never used by the US Army.

However, civilians, and local militas could purchase their own.
 

Prime Mover

I got this steam roller decades ago.

It was one color, soft plastic.

I have had it so long I have no idea how long I have had it, where I got it, or where I got it from.

I had no plans for it, but eventually I decided I would use it for an artillery towing vehicle.

I painted it gray, like 1890s artillery, with red wheels, like artillery, and a black smoke stake, like artillery gun barrels.

Steam powered vehicles were becoming more and more popular because unlike horses they were not afraid of artillery noises, and can operate more hours of the day.

This is actually a steam road roller, and should have a smaller front roller as a tractor.

But this is what I have, so it's what I am going to use.

Gray soldier fits well on the vehicle as the driver.
 

Roco M38A1 Jeeps

I have a lot of these vehicles.  

Like this one, many needed a lot of work.  This vehicle was in production by Roco for a long time and eventually the mold got tired.  The rear chassis got flash on it, the rear frame had flash on it, and the front fenders often had flash on them too.

Used models often are missing the spare tire, gas can, steering wheel, and have a broken windshield.

So I combed my spares boxes and came up with a bunch of parts to restore this Jeep and a few others.

Bringing up the shotgun.

Time to let fly.
