Bill Jackson Posted January 20 Share #1 Posted January 20 Hi All, Once again I come to the forum for help. Where can I purchase 2-wheel 16th century cannon carriages? I have checked the usual suppliers, but I can't find the 2 wheeled carriages. Can anyone advise? Bill mtaylor and Archi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted January 20 Share #3 Posted January 20 (edited) Like the below? This is supposed to be from the early 17th century, but hope it might help for your 16th century.

Other countries had already changed to 4 wheel carriages. The problem is where can I buy the carriages I need? All I see are 4 wheel types. thibaultron and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted January 21 Share #5 Posted January 21 Good question on buying them. I've not seen them though someone may sell them. Worst case is buy some of the 4 wheeled ones and modify them. thibaultron 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jeff T Posted January 21 Solution Share #6 Posted January 21 Bill, here is a link to a place that sells 2-wheeled carriages: https://www.mantuamodel.co.uk/products/ship-fittings/guns-and-cannons/964/gun-with-carriage-kit-1-detail The wheels are rather proportionately small, though. I ended up modifying 4-wheeled carriages to make 2-wheeled carriages for my Spanish Galleon. mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote Jeff Current build: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/24519-spanish-galleon-by-jeff-t-revell-196-plastic-with-modifications/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Jackson Posted January 21 Author Share #7 Posted January 21 Thanks for your response and link. I will take Jeff's recommendation and covert 4 wheel carriages to 2 wheel carriages. Sure wish these manufactures would start paying attention... thibaultron, Baker, Jeff T and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
