This is a 1/3 scale 100 pounder Parrott rifle on a barbette carriage .  Enjoy the pics.

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.
