The 15 inch Dahlgren was my model prototype, my lego cannon however,
has the flatish butt end of the 15 Rodman

Finally, someone likes my gun mount/carriage!!
Thanks!
I was just looking on the web for pics or drawings of early (pre-civil war)
gun mounts/carriage and I found the drawing of Ericssons gun carriage, and I
have him so strongly figured in my Storyline. I just had to try to model it!
What do you think of my guns elevation screw-setup?
I looked at the this part

but it wasnt black and plate is not the right shape.
I used the tap part but its really not quite heavy enough.
Oh well, the joys of modeling in lego!
