I really like the rough hewn appearance of the Front Rank cannons (EQ73), which contrasts with the Perry Miniatures and Copplestone versions. With the limber in mind, I ordered an extra set of wheels from Gripping Beast, and Perry Miniatures’ tipping cart (WR31) forms the basis of the limber.
I added a base to the cart from Plastikard, scored planks of wood, and added grain by firmly rubbing with coarse glass paper. Metal reinforcing strips were added with Plastikard embossed rivet sheet.
I’ll add tools and other items to the limber platform, and crew figures walking alongside. I have one more figure to add, probably carrying a bucket.
