As far as I could see there was no decoration on the barrels - should three have been?<br /><br />There is some recess on the barrel which you can just see on the picture with the crew.<br /><br />SteveSteveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750604219474369883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949706697278532115.post-86942502168973310122017-04-06T08:17:52.085+01:002017-04-06T08:17:52.085+01:00Ross

The variety of types should be useful and satisfactory. I hope the dolphins cast well.<br /><br />The Unicorn actually looks like the simplified 1805 model of the Napoleonic wars. A Unicorn without a unicorn. Oh well, these are the limitations of mold making.<br /><br />Are the muzzles hollow?<br /><br />The gunners don't have any equipment (flasks, fuse and match cases, etc.) but since they are intended to be both Russian and French I can see why.Rahwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488589626156732906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949706697278532115.post-9224706389151381332017-04-06T00:09:05.133+01:002017-04-06T00:09:05.133+01:00The crew look good. ......

The trail looks rather too straight/long to me but then I don't really know anything about 7YW Austrian/Prussian etc artillery. <br /><br />If the wedge is put in, is it possible to elevate the breech to something close to point blank? <br /><br />To be honest, artillery is at the bottom of my list but hopefully it will sell. <br /><br />The wheels are nice. They look short but only because they aren't on a base like the gunners. I might buy a mould just for the wheels, I could use them on some 19thC guns I have that have short clunky wheels.<br /><br />What I could really use is some guns on fortress carriages but I can't see them appearing any time soon!Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
