Just a quick post to tell you that I had the chance to work a little bit with Speira about their new french 24 pdr fortress gun, I just receive my order and the result is outstanding !
I cheated a little and ordered several artillery piece from ACW range in order to be able to depict several french guns from different era
24 pdr Gribeauval fortress gun (original speira napoleonic range)
24 pdr Valee siege gun (24pdr gribeauval guntube from napoleonic range with ACW siege carriage)
24 pdr Valee Fortress gun (24pdr gribeauval guntube from napoleonic range with ACW fortress carriage)
As US ordnance copied french ordnance at that time it was easy and as Speira precision is top notch easier !
I cannot resist to show Speira's 24 pdr on siege carriage 1/72 scale with my 24 pdr on siege carriage but made by French artillery school student in the 19th century in 1/8th scale (Wood, metal and bronze barrel)
