Gatling gun limber: assembly

I had a bit of time this morning so I was able to make some progress with assembling the limber.

Cutting and assembling the sides and interior was a methodical process of measurement, cutting, and adjustment, but I now have all the measurements I need for the towed version. The Broadwell magazines need their centres drilling, and I want to add a cross bar to the shaft. I’ll add rope to the chain once the model is painted.

It’s certainly not 100% accurate, but I think it will look the part.

Most of the assembly is done, the hook for the hauling chain is not yet fixed since this will be best done once the model is painted.
