Hello Figureteers!

Where can I get me a 54mm ACW cannon?

Cheers

Hi Janne

You could try Military Modelling Warehouse on the link below, they are in the US, or Bonapartes who are in the UK, both of these may have something to offer

Try Hinchcliffe in the U.K, beautiful metal kits and really well done! Not sure how to get a hold of them but I will see what I can dig up. I'm just finishing up one of their cicvil war cannons and I'll try to take some pictures and post them ASAP.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies. As an afterthought Id probably should have mentioned that Im looking for a field gun. Didnt find any gun at all at the Bonaparte webpage and only came up with this napleonic gun on the other homepage.

Is that piece ok to use?

Cheers

That's the kit you want. It's a Verlinden kit. available through Military Miniatures Warehouse

Yup, that's the one, the 12 pounder bronze howitzer--"the Napoleon," the workhorse of both armies. Don't let the name confuse you, we Yanks have a tendency to name our military equipment after dead generals--re: Abrams, Bradley, Patton, Pershing, Sherman, Stuart, Lee, etc. I believe the Napoleon was so named because it designed by or for Napoleon III's army, however, like alot of things, I could be wrong.

Saratoga Soldiers do a range of 54mm civil war cannons

Thanks again.

Is it me being picky but the stuff on Saratoga look a bit like toysoldiers?
Especially the figures.

In addition, could any of the Historex kits be used?

Cheers

The Imrie/Risley range have been out for years and are not as good as the figures produced today. The cannons and limbers however are quite good, Bill Horan used the limber in his Chickamuaga diorama.

Historex cannons work out at 60mm, but you could use the British gun carriage as an A.C.W. cannon with a little work. The French carraige is a completely different shape.
