US Civil War 12 pounder Gun.

[Guest]

Hi friends.


This is what I will be working on next.Verlinden 120mm.


I will be doing a figure to stand next to it.


I have already started with the wheels and boy are they driving me mad.


I'm having to glue the spokes and then pin them.


Hope you will enjoy.

Oh I'm defo gonna be watching this. This definatly looks a nice kit and the figure with it will look fantastic


This man is a machine ( hang on there are so many on here just churning the good stuff out of late)


I watched a documentary on the napoleon 12pounder recently and it was a nasty piece of artillery.


It decimated 75% of infantry when used correctly in the field.


Regards

I'm not sure if I'll even get the wheels done by Sundayo_O.


So far I have had to get Paula to drop accelerator on the glue while I hold the spoke in place.

Another great kit and subject, judging by your last effort this should be superbly done I reckon..............Jim

Hurrah I completed a wheel.


Needs a bit of filler though.

God created the world in 7 days (. Ralph created the wheel in 2 days )


Looking good

Then there is hope for Humankind...........


Great looking wheel Ralph, just think, if it was a Tiger Tank of the same era you would have dozens to make

Well after getting into the swing of thing's.


The 2nd wheel only took an hour to get to this stage.I've also done a bit of work on the carriage.

[monica]

looking good so far,turned out well,


and maybe I think if you do look at old wheels,


you do see where they joined,most of the time in a angle join,then the steel rim over the top that holds them all together,


so maybe you real don't need to fill the joins in theses one,just what I,m thinking,
