While painting a 28mm Maxim Machine gun, I thought I would try the internet to see how to paint it.

So I did s search for "Maxim"............  I got lots of nice pictures but I checked very carefully and there were no Machine guns in any of the pictures!  :)

Thank you for that, I wanted to be sure my eyes were not playing up. Although some of those pictures under Maxim did make my eyes pop out  :)

Try 'Maxim Gun'.

Loads of pictures of the famous machine gun.

Hmm.

I think "maxim" is marginally more compelling than "maxim gun".
