Italian WW2 Artillery 'Cannone da 149/40'

This gun and crew were started last year and got put to one side as the 'washed out' effect I was trying to achieve on the crews tunics didn't work out as I wanted (Vallejo paints I struggle with sometimes, it all went a bit green) . However I just wanted to get rid of the massive 'unfinished backlog' so based the crew quickly this morning. The gun will also be based as it needs more solidity and would look more 'grounded'. How it should be built and finished see here ! There is a good write up on the set at Plastic Soldier Review. The Society for Gentleman Gamers has a nice take on the subject as well using the Italeri Gun and crews by Merliton.

This is one in action I cannot find out much about the gun apart from what is on Wikipedia and Plastic Soldier Review but plan to make a second attempt at modelling it in the future once the Desert Campaign project is well underway.
