In the early 1900s the US Army maintained a series of large coastal defense artillery. Eventually, these guns grew to be as large as 16" in diameter. AHM makes a US Army railgun that makes a good start for the 16" gun.
I made the gun a few years ago and then stocked the crew with various WWI and early WWII US Army troops. These are a mixture of troops from Airfix, Tumbling Dice, It Figures, and others.
These guns were used to protect the Canal Zone. Others were scattered around even here in Southern California.
Several of these troops are WWII British, painted OD green like the US Army guys they don't look too out of place. The US Army used the SMLE even wore the same helmet and hat as the British.
