I'm doing a scratchbuilt model of the USS Passaic to duel with the CSS Tennessee I did at last years Historicon. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a 15" Dahlgren model? Any help much appreciated! |

Reviresco makes two types of Dahlgren gun in 28mm, of smaller bore but not a 15" version. These might be close enough.

Oh, both decent choices. Failing the exact gun being available I'm inclined towards the HLBS 15" Rodman- it seems closest to the right girth of these monsters: link Thank you both! |

Another option might be to look for a 3" Ordnance rifle in 54mm scale and resculpt it a bit to get what you wanted. |

Old Glory 25's still sells the old Houston 25mm ACW guns. There is a 15" Dahlgren in that listing; link |

I would highly recommend the HLBS guns. That is what we mostly used for our ships for our Fort DeRussey/Red River game last year. They are very well cast and have fantastic details. I can't say enough good things about them!
