On the workbench - Elephant transports column for Type 98 320mm mortar Burma '44

The Mardav 3d printed 320mm  mortar set up and crew. The piled rifles is a nice touch. 
Another angle. The the base is built in in this option of the mortar. The crew painted separately and  added afterwards.
A transport elephant with improvised mortar rounds and asorteded stowage from EWM. The elephant is by HAT industries. A pack saddle scratch built by using match sticks and miniature carpentry. 
This is the uploaded elephant tow. The harness was scratch built out of waxed thread and some chain from model railway supplier.
The mortar under tow. I didn't want to cut off the mortarxshell so decided it was just rushed into position and added a couple of spare crew. Attached chains to the mortar and a wooden sledge from matchsticks.
Elephants and mahout from HaT with some chain and rope harness for the elephants added. The Japanese artillery men from Mardav  miniatures.
