Rick,
Thank you very much. I have built a few card models. I haven’t had much luck with card kits, but I did scratch build the Prince de Neufchatel from card, which came out well.
I have found that it is easy to work and very useful. It’s also surprisingly strong. -

Thank you all for the comments and the likes!
I adjusted one paint scheme and have the opposite piece mostly carved. It’s currently drying because I may or may not have broken it in multiple places and had to glue it back together. I threw in a ruler for scale (English units, I only use metric if I have to).

I just display them. I haven’t war gamed in years.
I have elements of many different armies spanning many different time periods.
I’ve got a bad habit of building/painting anything that looks interesting at the time.

Thanks for all the likes and the comments!
I made the barrel from a dowel rod. I used card stock to make the banding.
I cut the other pieces out of basswood and glued them together.I will add more banding after everything dries and I can base coat everything.
The barrel is just sitting in the carriage.

Thank you both, very much!
Mark,
I carved them from 1/16” basswood based on the picture in the AOTS. You should give it a try.
This build has been a great learning experience for me.

I always enjoyed tying ratlines. It is tedious, but relaxing.

The first three are painted and will be ready to install tomorrow!
They’re not perfect, but they’ll do.
