Weapon designs for figures

[F Troop]

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?

Generally speaking there were two model Sharps rifles and carbines during the Civil War much like your Springfields. A model 1859 and model 1863. The only really noticeable difference was the deletion of the patch box on the stock and a change from brass to iron hardware. BUT - this was not a hard and fast rule because some 1863 models still had the patch boxes.

Interestingly, most pictures I have found of 1863 Sharps Rifles still have the patch box so in my opinion just do an 1859 version and the modeler can remove the patch box if an 1863 version is needed.

So I would suggest the model 1859 Sharps Carbine and model 1859 Sharps Rifle.


The ring & slide are on the carbine only for mounted troops

Nice looking work Venko; have you tried scaling them up and printing yet? I’d be particularly interested in how they look like at 1/10 scale as possible accessories for busts.

Cheers, Brian

Hi, you mean the cannon? I printed it in 1/24, also I printed every design I made so far. And every digital model can be scaled in whatever scale you want
