I have been sitting on this one for a few weeks because it's a one of a kind . This is a 1/8 scale 1861 Seige Howitzer on a 24 pdr. carriage . The last one Jeff made before he was taken away ,

That's a good one, and it's what I've been pondering, just a little larger version.

I'd love to have a carriage like that for the 1/6 scale 1861 tube you turned for me.  It is still sitting here without anything under it but an old towel....
