Thanks for posting, this is a great model! Are these the privately produced 40 pounders? Are any of these still available? |
Rhingyll | 19 Dec 2015 9:14 a.m. PST |
Yes, the guns were privately produced by Eclaireur who posts on this board. He may have some extras. They are really nice, very well detailed guns and the only 25/28mm 40 pounder BLRs that I know of. The Ironduke bullocks and limber, although Indian Mutiny, overlapped well into the 2nd Afghan War. |

Nice. I always like stuff like this. In our games they are more useful as objects of ambush than as actual guns. |

Eclaireur, Would you please contact me if you are interested in parting with some 40 pounder models? stewartwtatgmaildotcom. Thanks. |

Hi there Big Red – yes I believe there are a couple left (tho I am away from home and would need to double check that in order to confirm). I will not actually be back home until early in the New Year but I will email you when I get eyes on, yours EC |

Any possibility you could repost your pictures so I can see how you made up the traces for the bullocks? |

thanks. Did you actually make up traces for the leading sets of animals? |
Rhingyll | 19 Jan 2019 2:25 p.m. PST |
alan L. No traces on the leading sets as I, like you, wasn't sure want they looked like. Just put the wooden yokes on them. |

Eclaireur, I'd definitely be interested in buying a couple as well, if you still have some available? Email: charlesspeedy at yahoo dot com |

Hi gents, I've gotten the same set up from Bob a while back and will post pics of how I set it up based on the drawings and pics we've found. It's not perfect but looks good IMHO. Cheers, JB |
