Hi, yes, I will make both 1/35 and 1/24. I have to add some small details like chains and will make a test first.

Absolutely fantastic.Is there any chance of you producing some 18th-19th century firearms from the Balkans in the future (especially Greek,Albanian and Turkish)?

Thanks! Sounds interesting, in our museum in my city we have quite a collection of rifles, pistols and sabres from that period I have to check what origin they are.

I can send you museum quality photos of Greek and Albanian muskets and pistols.Bulgarian specimens would also be welcome.

Test print of the Napoleon 12pdr, to see the the fit. I left some of the small details for the painting process. The barrel height is adjustable with the screw. Two types of shells-canister and solid shot.

I've been waiting to see how your Napoleon would turn out and it looks very nice. The limber and ammo chest were a pleasant surprise. If you need any additional information let me know.

(Please consider a Sharps rifle and carbine for the future. Your Springfields and Enfields are much appreciated)

Thanks! I was actually wondering what is this for (in the red), probably gun sight attached to (for the foresight in the blue))?

You are exactly right. The BLUE is a blade front sight and the RED is a seat for a Pendulum Hausse rear sight.

I think you have solid shot and bursting charge shot. No canister. The gun carriage looks the part for the No. 2 carriage which is correct for the Napoleon.

The No. 1 carriage is slightly smaller (don't know if you can really tell in 1/32 & 1/24 scale) same size wheels. A modification to the trail and you mount for the No.1 and you can mount 3" Ordnance, 3" Parrott, James and 6 pdrs.

Ok, thanks! You are correct, it is a bursting shot, I will make the canister also.

I see there are different models of Sharps, which model do you have in mind?

Also does the confederate barrel of the Napoleon (the one without muzzle) have the sights too?

Yes, the Confederate Napoleons with the straight muzzle did have a front blade sight. The red arrow points to the threaded hole for the front sight, the yellow circle shows what remains from an iron blade sight and there's a shot of an original iron rear sight mounting bracket. BTW your rear sight is looking good.
