Hello all,
I am looking to find a decent figure for the 24 lb guns the British had at the battle of Lundy's Lane. A quick google search got me this:

Looks like maybe a large French or Russian gun may do the trick but thought I would post here for additional ideas. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Mike,
The Hinchcliffe line has a Brit 18lber and they also have a large ECW gun. |

Hmmm, well I am leaning towards an Old Glory 20lb Russian gun but I will have to check into the Hinchcliffe.
Thanks for the idea! |

Doesn't Old Glory make a 24lber for their Nappy equipment line? I thought I picked up the 12lber and 18lber from them as well. Eric |

I nosed around and didn't see 24lb. Maybe I didn't look hard enough? |

Or maybe I am having a senior moment… Just as likely these days. Eric

The guns concerned have been described as 'light' 24-pounders and as field pieces. They have also been described as 'slow-firing.' So, it probably was not a siege gun. Sincerely,

So are you saying that the miniatures we are considering represent the incorrect type of gun? |

Hinchliffe makes a 25mm 24lb code = SG4 British 24 Pdr Gun 1700-1790.
Foundry made a 24lb field gun as part of their AWI range code= AWI027 American 24 and crew. Although American the barrel is embossed with Britsh crown. I have this one for my future Chippawa and Lundy's Lane battles. |

Hinchliffe artillery is very nice. |

'So are you saying that the miniatures we are considering represent the incorrect type of gun?' They may be. I believe what has been shown are siege pieces, not field pieces. That is a significant difference. Sincerely,

Iron Duke;
THAT'S the one I'm thinking of. Sorry eptingmike, I was thinking Foundry. I apologize. Bit of a senior moment there. Eric |

Anyone have a picture/link to a 'light' 24lb field piece? Is this something that would have to be cobbled together from bits and pieces to make an accurate miniature? |
