Zulu, Do you have plans for your Barbette carriage?  I am thinking of making a smaller version.   ;D

I scaled it up from a picture in Round Shot and Rammers.  If you don't have that book, you really should get it.  Lots of good info.

This isn't the picture but it is one like this with an overhead view also.
