I bought this cannon from Mind Games in Melbourne and it is a good scale for 54mm late medieval through to 18th century. It is intended for smaller scale fantasy.
A gun that big wouldn't be on a carriage that small. In fact a bombard type cannon such as that wouldn't usually be on a wheeled carriage at all. Or if it was (such as Mons Meg at Edinburgh) then it would only be for transport. The gun would be lifted off the 4 wheeled carriage and emplaced before it could fire.
Try to fire that cannon and it'd blow itself off that carriage ...
ReplyDeleteIs that because of the size of the bore or the size of the carriage?
