I'm involved in a project with other 'Heavy Gunners' from 5,32 Regts who served on the lovable M-107,to get a pewter model made of her in 1/35th scale(4"x8"approx) and mounted on a wooden plinth with RA badge.Min order is 25 and we have to date 28 on board since going public last Tuesday(response is good), with each model costing between £50-60 plus vat,p&p.
The model would be in the travel/parade mode,spade up,barrel retracted etc with sight,breech and loader rammer covers on,this way keeps the price down and also makes no allusion to any particular Bty/Regt therefore preventing any arguments over what should or should not go on her-Gunners!!! scope will be there however for the bold to personalise their own gun if desired with spade boxes etc.
The models will be made,bought via Garrison PRI,Larkhill,no profit making etc by anyone!! who employ the services of the craftsman who will make them.Some examples of his work are here http://www.garrisonpri.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=51&products_id=418&tsl_session_id=523adf1cc2869680c08a45335e8b4e45 the Light Gun is superb,I have one.
Interested? e-mail me for more details etc.
