Gatling gun and limber details

I have begun making the details that will be needed for the two Gatling guns and the limber. The single photo accompanying this post does not give away the amount of time that went into making the the first set.

The limber will have chains attached to each wheel, and tow ropes will be attached to the chains, all arranged at either side of the model. The guns will have towing eyes attached to the wheel hubs, and lengths of chain attached to the carriage.

I fashioned the hooks and eyes from 15 amp fuse wire, which is a little over-scale, but workable I think.

The first of the details for the guns and limber. The towing eyes with chain will be fitted to the limber’s wheel hubs. The wheel hubs have been drilled to receive the wire.
