[With apologies to the "Paint a GHQ Helicopter Month" thread for shameless plagiarism]
In commemoration of St. Barbara, December is "Paint a GHQ Artillery Piece Month."
So paint up a GHQ-produced artillery piece in your finest colours. Buy a new one or make a dent in the pewter mountain you already have. Strip and repaint an old one.
Unlike November Paint a Helicopter month, civilian figures are not appropriate (unless you can document a civilian artillery piece). Figures of dedicated prime movers (even without the towed pieces) and GS-type vehicles commonly used to tow artillery are acceptable. Let's leave out self-propelled artillery until a later time.
Historical or Imaginary, it does not matter. Just paint one; you have four weeks so there's no excuse.
If you cannot paint details, one-colour spray can paint jobs will receive extra points for humorous captions or dioramas.
If you cannot post a photo, just post a 1000-word colorful description of your finished article.
Best of luck.

First to Fire. 
I know, I know not a GHQ produced M901 (PAC-2 Launching Station), sadly they don't make one despite many a begging. Leave it on an Air Defender to mess it up, right?
Not a new one, but sadly the new place Uncle Sam has me doesn't allow me time or space for much in the way of building/painting. This was a going away gift I made for a buddy of ours (fueler) who was PCS-ing.

I had intended to include a limitation to tube-type field artillery - excluding rockets, guided missiles, anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons but including mortars, howitzers, etc. However, since StVF101 has already jumped the line in may ways (not GHQ, not yet December, and anti-aircraft missile), I hereby declare the field is open to all types of towed artillery.
