Trying to find pictures of the following:

ME13 18pdr FG with crew in pith helmet (3)
ME15 77mm FG crew in kabalak (3)
ME29 4.5" Howitzer crew in pith helmet (3)
ME30 60pdr HG crew in pith helmet (2)
ME31 105mm Howitzer crew in kabalak (3)

I'm basically trying to get an idea of the relative gun model size so I can make a decision on which ones to get to use for on table artillery. I'm not actually bothered which one might be the most appropriate historically, but rather which will look better as a single model on the table.

I have the western front versions of most of these. I will see if I can dig them out for a photo.

But in summary the 60pdr is big, the others are all much of the same size.

Thanks. Any photos would be a help.

I suspect I'm going to end up going with the 18pdr and the 77mm, but wanted to possibly see the others before I made a final decision.

77mm here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10663.msg140794.html#msg140794

18pdr here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10663.msg169640.html#msg169640

I don't have pictures of the others, I would use the 4.5" & 60pdr as off board artillery.
I do have a 105mm I am yet to paint up as part of Pasha II, with German East African crew (Thanks again Leon)
