Cem made this terrific coastal gun to use with his Turkish Artillery figures.
On his Blog he shows the steps he used to make it and the period photo that inspired him,

Thanks for posting that image and the link to Cem's site.

Its great to see a craftsman showing of the process that he used in constructing this weapon.

Looks just like the real one that was defending the Dardanelles in the 1900's

Well done Cem,

John

and the fortress where the guns defended The Dardanelles in 1915

Fabulous piece of work by Cem - and brilliantly photographed too. Your pics of "the real things" also add value to Cem's work too John. First class work, all round. :salute::jb
