Thanks guys, now working on the base & here I've used a large tamiya plastic item. Some filler, sand and small stones went on and once cured a blast of tamiya flat earth went on. The stripped poles are something I've seen whilst watching videos of the beast firing, They are obviously turret travel limiters and are tall enough to be observed through the sights on he turret. The small post is also something I've seen and seems to denote a firing position on the ranges. Both knocked up from plastic rod and painted accordingly. A selection of grass tufts and weeds will be added over the next few days before final pigments and fixing the model to the base.

Yes, home on the range. Sunny, hot with a 100% chance of Finnish cannon shells.

Cheers chaps, talking of shell casings I've had a rummage through the spares and come up with some 30mm rarden shells from accurate armour. Not quite 35mm but close enough for my purposes. Cleaned up, drilled out & painted silver they should work nicely on the base and tell a story too. I've also made up some ammo links using very thin lead foil, again not accurate but it gives you the idea.
