World War One, German 21cm Schwere Morser, heavy artillery 28mm

 WW1 28 mm German 21cm Schwere Morser

With the release and purchase of Zero Hour, Would War One / Early 20th C. wargames rules I dug out my WW1 miniatures to organise them for a game. Glancing through the rules I noticed it was suggested that you had some heavy artillery model to represent the off table artillery support. Missing from my collection!

So as any enthusiastic wargames collector would, I got on the Internet and searched for suitable models. There is a dearth of optitions as traditional manufacturers do not cover heavy artillery. But the advent of 3D printing has opened up access to a whole range of obscure models. 

I found this 28mm, 21cm Schwere Morser on Ebay and have been happy with the quality of printing and the final result.





The 21cm Schwere Morser is quite well represented in photos from the time and using these I came up with a suitable base for this model. Quite pleased with the result.

I have already got a British 9.2 inch Howitzer ordered from http://butlersprintedmodels.co.uk/A
