I've been looking for proxies for Earthshaker cannons for a guard army and I thought I'd try using historical miniatures. I chose a 10mm scale 150mm German WW2 howitzer, the 15 cm sFH 18. I found one at:

GV-87 150mm Howitzer, long + Crew

I think you can get them elsewhere. I tried some different plasticard mods to make them a bit more like the proper Earthshaker. The closest visually is a bit big once I've added all the bits so I would be tempted with one of the simpler versions. Anyway, thought I'd share.

Cool. I use 6mm WW2 stuff a lot for PDF-type forces.

Yes, a lot of 10mm fits in well with Epic ...
