Although they took a lot of time to make (all that fiddly wire bending and twisting around the swingletrees), they were actually very quick simple to attach to the horses- just a couple of blobs of solder on each side, and then a bit of snipping and filing to remove the excess. Bayonet repairs are much more difficult!Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-13438526066254382422016-06-20T19:02:36.057+12:002016-06-20T19:02:36.057+12:00Awed by the limber traces......That is impressive!...Awed by the limber traces......That is impressive!lewisgunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935143236897047636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-5261631295136007372016-06-18T06:50:44.598+12:002016-06-18T06:50:44.598+12:00Thanks Paul.

I liked the way that the light blue guns contrasted with the dark blue of the rest of the army, so it was nice to have a limber as well to enhance the effect!Wellington Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295966991101976478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-32551483687281968802016-06-18T05:38:23.915+12:002016-06-18T05:38:23.915+12:00Very nice looking Prussian artillery, like the lim...Very nice looking Prussian artillery, like the limber team<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242408484763644333.post-42987745197572083932016-06-13T11:17:08.389+12:002016-06-13T11:17:08.389+12:00Ta very much LG.

It's a weird looking thing - there are two separate ammunition boxes, making it look rather British, but only a single draught pole. However, it was an almost perfect match for the mystery gun.
