The 1841 & 1861 Seige Howitzers having caught my interest lately , I started to think why not a set in 1/8 scale .

The 1" 1841 Seige Howitzer .

Next time the 1861 .

Good lookin' !!

Do we see a trend in design here (of everything) - the approximate largest dimensions will match those of the inside of flat-rate boxes?

Received my 8" siege mortar from HMR Cannons. Quality work.

I found a package form Ed on my door step today! Well done sir, well done! (one of his 1841 siege howitzers)

These things are getting popular.

What size did you get dittles?

dittles · « **Reply #13 on:** July 28, 2011, 09:48:14 AM »

Double D I believe it is the same size as Triple D's ( with a one inch bore). Now I need to figure out what to shoot out of it!

Double D · « **Reply #14 on:** July 28, 2011, 10:15:40 AM »

Great, I just bought a 1 inch mould from Jeff Tanner. did you get a mould from Ed also?

Here's the siege howitzer the Ed made me

dittles · « **Reply #15 on:** July 28, 2011, 05:08:58 PM »

Double D yours is bigger than mine! But it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it! I don't have any molds nor do I have any lead, yet. I just want to fire salutes for now then maybe on down the line get a mold and melting pot. I do like your piece.

Double D · « **Reply #16 on:** July 28, 2011, 05:37:08 PM »

Yes it is bigger, but that doesn't mean its better, only bigger. In fact Ed's one inch gun like yours, that Ed is donating as a door prize for the Montana cannon shot came to day and I would not be displeased if I were to get lucky and win it.

I now have a cannon from each our Sponsors.

DD, what do you have in mind to mount that one on?

Double D · « **Reply #18 on:** July 29, 2011, 04:02:16 AM »

I am not sure yet. I know there are examples of this being on a Marsilley carriage for Navel carriage. But its primary use was on the siege carriage and I am leaning towards that, including building my own wheels.

I got to shoot the 1861 seige howitzer today , 100 grs 2Fg with a 1" lead ball . Worked good .
