Looks like I can retire from scenery building now!
Looks great. I have these guys to make into a gun crew. It will take a while though.

I have the truck which i am painting at the moment
I have no luck with a gun crew, though there is a company that makes very detailed resin British infantry. The ideal solution is finding someone who knows how to create posable 3D models that can be printed. Trying to get the available software to do that is not very easy at all.
What is the company that does the infantry? My searches were fruitless?

As an alternative, I can face the walls with the cement stones that I use for the houses.

Beautifully carved models, but unfortunately, prices to match. Also no British troops from the European fighting.

Would you be able to print me 4 or 5 ammo boxes for the gun ammo?
I could do with them for the back of the truck?

They will need to be a fair old size. The ammunition was two part - the actual shell weighed 100 lb. I found a couple of pictures.

Having said that, you probably knew this anyway.

If you can give me some dimensions I should be able to do those no problem.
