I needed some deck guns, 6 of them, there are openings in the side of the boat for 4 guns on each side but one on each side are just by the stair case and i didn´t want to modify it so i just go for 3 guns on each side.
I had a look around for 28mm wargaming guns especially the Foundry ones as I already had 2 of them but sins they was so expensive I continued my search,... Crusader miniatures have a pack with 4 small guns that look ok and to a good cost of £6.50 (£1.63 each) but i needed 6 of them so had to order 2 packs if using them.
My search ended whan I at The Model Dockyard found "Decorated Cannon With Carriage 40mm barrel" for just £1.35 each, that got me 6 guns for £8.10.
The Size of the guns was about the same as the Foundry ones I already had, I will have them on a 2mm thick base to get them in a good possition, the bases are 30mm in diametre.
Top one are from Foundry
They look great Michael suitably ornate ?
