M1857 12lb'er

[IronMike]

Here's a couple snap shots of something I've been working on for a few years. It's finally finished. It's a 54mm M1857 12lb Napoleon from the ACW. Resin with a few metal parts.

The kit will be released by MR Ltd around the 1st of the year. Not shown but included in the kit are the rammer staffs, hand spikes, and a sponge bucket.

Price is yet to be determined.

Will it be available in the UK? I assume by MR you mean Michael Roberts? If so I will be able to get it from the UK distributor..El Greco Miniatures.

Again congrats , I know what an endeavor it is, those wheels...

I remember making the master for this monstrosity in 120mm years back while at the big "V" ..

The kit will be available direct from Michael Roberts Ltd and of course our dealers if they chose to stock them. I'm working furiously to get them ready sooner than 1 Jan. I'll be away for a week in the middle of the month but I still have hope.

FYI- This kit is recommend for experienced modelers. There are quite a few small parts and assembly of delicate pieces. Because of this I'm including twice the number of some of the smaller parts. Just in case......

Also. I can't take credit for this entire kit. I bought the master years ago from Armand Bayardi. Is was only partially complete so I had to create many of the small pieces myself and tweak what Armand had already done.
