Having just bought some Boys Anti-Tank riflemen, I note that...

a) They're huge - more like 15mm. Beautifully detailed, mind you, but about 8 foot tall in  scale...

b) They're all prone & firing...

Now, granted, the Boys AT is massive, and giants would be the best gunners. Likewise, prone & firing is the most useful place for them... Nonetheless, some in-scale Boys AT gunners walking & carrying their rifles would be handy... The Boys is so massive & distinct it's obvious the normal infantry don't have them!

And a plea from the heart from my FLGS owner who just started collecting 10mm (by collecting most of my old Pendraken Russkies...), Soviet horse-drawn artillery limbers with crews.

We've considered them quite a few times but the cost of designing bigger pieces like this, combined with the limited sales on them, makes it difficult to ever make the money back.  Never say never, but they wouldn't be high up the priority list.

It could be made as just the guns on the mount. It can then be added to trucks or used as a ground mounting

Would it be any easier to mould gun, pedestal and crew (or at least shooter) as a piece to go in the back of a truck.

I've seen that approach with weapons/crew for modern Africa "technicals".

Just a very gentle nudge for 3 Men In A Trench... US and Russians.  ;)
US also applicable to Korea and Russian riflemen in Helmets can easily proxy as Italians or even Japanese.

Oh, and Arty Crews!  ;D
