I like to paint things in related batches
10 Early War Miniatures Villaistas/irregulars/bandits



Tumbling Dice 2-wheel cart, the driver was a German from the Airfix Opel Blitz, the wagon cover is from S&S Models (one of their resin Hanomag tarps)
Of course with a different driver, this could serve in any of my early C20th forces, even WW2 Germans or French
The horses are seperate; so I can also use the cart as terrain filler if required



Single mounted Federal trooper
Airfix RHA figure with a Tumbling Dice rifle arm on an Airfix horse

2 x Early War Miniatures 1917 era Yanks

37mm (1pdr) Maxim "Pom-Pom" automatic cannon [Raventhorpe] with a scratch crew

37mm (1 pdr) Hotchkiss revolving cannon
The gun started out as a 42mm size/scale Gatling gun from irregular Miniatures, I mounted it on a 20mm carriage and added the gun shield, the crew are from the Hat Gatling gun set with Raventhorpe heads

A couple more shots of the gun (which I am well happy with)

Whilst i was fucking about, there he was

I`m more proud of the Hotchkiss revolving cannon

It is impressive, Richard, and your photos look like you made good job of giving it feel of smaller scale model while still retaining its beast like shells!
I also like the look of the pompom gun on tyres! Could be solid or pneumatic from its appearance!

I built the rack and added the shells, i used a 20mm gun carriage to down scale the look
