brunelrussell Posted March 24, 2018 #1 Posted March 24, 2018 Several years ago I ordered some cannon kits (from Amazon, I think) that with a bit of alteration were perfect for the Great Eastern; that were brass and had the neatest little disassembled carriages. I ordered 4. Recently I learned that the ship had 6. I can't seem to find them anywhere now, even on the company website. I could make them from scratch but the hobby shop didn't have any plus I am congenitally lazy. They were 31.5 mm long. If anyone can help me with this I'd be plumb grateful. aviaamator 1

brunelrussell Posted March 26, 2018 Author #3 Posted March 26, 2018 Many many thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, E-bay doesn't honor my credit card, for some reason. But thanks anyway. mtaylor 1
brunelrussell Posted March 31, 2018 Author #4 Posted March 31, 2018 Update! I suckered a friend of mine into buying this on his credit card, little knowing that his entire savings have been funneled into my unnumbered Swiss bank account! Mwah ha ha ha! But seriously, I got a big (for me) tax refund coming which will hopefully fund the lumber for the decks on the G.E.! mtaylor 1
