Help needed
« on: January 30, 2007, 04:59:11 AM »
Hy all:
             Along with the Parrot Rifle, I'm building a Brooke 7" coastal gun in 1/24 scale.
I need all the details you guys can produce...
Much obliged for any help.
                                             Mario
P.S. I'm just in the plan stage at this moment.

Mario,

     The best reference book available today which has all the dimensions you will every need on ANY of the seacoast guns is The Big Guns, Civil War Seige, Seacoast, and Naval Cannon by Olmstead, Stark, and Tucker pulished by Museum Restoration Service and available from  www.rayrilingarmsbooks.com or amazon.  It is an expensive book, but worth it.

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!
