Hey Brian, will this gun be offered as a separate piece? I have some glossy Royal arty figures that need something to shoot. Guess I will need the gloss spray also..Michael

Maddadicus,
As I've posted before the 7pdr. by CS is very well done. I bought two sets for a future Isandlwana display. I'd gloss it like you're thinking rather than pass on it. I've been waiting for a 7pdr. since the 1999 Conte Zulu set.
I also purchased the Fleurbaix Victorian Era 9pdr. and limber. The CS and Britains figures go well this those too.
I do not need the figures. With a Zulu War collection of 100 gloss, toy soldier style figures, they just do not fit..I presently have extra crew, but no Zulu era gun. I have had to borrow a Sudan cannon for display, but it is too heavy a gun for the earlier period..There is a prescedence for a separate CS gun. Look at the Nappy's. In the end, if a mfg. fails to deliver, I will have to make my own, and it will look it

Your problem is easily solved. I've made this suggestion to many a customer before:
First find a large box. It can be corrugated or a thin walled box, either one. But be sure it can hold the entire collection.
Carefully put each and every piece of your old collection in the box. Then carefully take the box in both hands and put it in your trunk.
Get in your car. Start the car.
Drive your car to an area of town that you don't know so well and might be hard to find again. Open your trunk. Set the box down on the side walk. Get back in your car and drive away.
Problem solved!!! You have tons of new space and can start again with the most premium pieces in the industry, good idea? No?![]()
I just got the 7 and 9 pdr from September today...Is yours together and painted?
Mike
Scott,
Big Negative on that...I don't know what to think. Maybe Brian could produce more 7pdrs than sets, and also a 9 pdr or two?
