I placed it on the flatcar and glued it on its place. After that I made 2 struts to support the frame:
A gun is needed and it is a sort of ship cannon. I have some extra barrels with the Perry kits so I took one of the biggest and made a wooden support frame for it. It starts with a assembled piece of wood:
From there I cut out the "look" of the carriage:
At this point there is a dryfit. It still needs wheels:
The gun needs a frame to move it on for loading and firing. I made that of a 4 x 4 mm piece of wood:
From the same stuff I made a support on boh sides and in the middle. It tilts a little to the front as seen on the drawing:
The front piece has iron bars on the drawing but I think these where attached to a deck of planks. So I glued those to the front piece:
As it looks now, it still needs stake pockets, drawbars and couplers. The iron bars will be made from brass rods I still need to purchase:
Later more!
