2 forum posts | Hi Guys, Since the closure of the Rotunda Artillery Museum, I am having trouble finding accurate details for my present project. Since I am a fussy perfectionist I am interested to know where else there might be a decent collection of good quality model artillery? I am building a 1-16th model of a very interesting cannon I saw in France last summer. It is a coastal gun on a sliding / traversing platform. I shall post some photos when I know how to. Vic |

2 forum posts | Hi Maurice, Is that the one they call 'firepower artillery Museum? I thought the Woolwich Arsenal was same as the Rotunda. However I just read some rewieves on Firepower and it has a lot of full size and model cannons. I will try and post some photos of my model 'Gibraltar' cannon in the next few days. Thanks for your info. Vic Papai |
