Re: Friday

This indeed looks like a Whitworth. Would hope for other barrels. From what I can tell the carriage and wheels are copies from the Accurate set. These don't look like new sculpts and as such these come with the same inaccuracies. These lack both the trail handles and the prolonge (rope). To have the rope modeled would be far better than the poor representations for hooks. It looks like there is an elevation screw added but not sure where that attaches as there is no position hole for this to attach to. The wheels are also only 12 spoked when they should have 14 spokes. There is a recent post of a colonial carriage

and the wheels on this have 14 spokes. Maybe a wheel substitution required here. The call has been for a more accurate ACW artillery set. Copying what the other manufacturers have done won't get you there. Please, please make the effort to correct these things and give use what we've been looking for. Thanks.

Like the idea of looking at medium pieces. Still would like to see the WW1/2 British 60pdr but an 18th/19th century piece would go down well .

One of Wellingtons 18pdrs for the Peninsular war would be interesting project.
