Towed Gatling gun limber: Jack Tar test

I had a few moments to clean up and slightly modify the Gardner gunner into a pose more suitable for pushing on the horizontal bar attached to the limber.

Two such fellows will be needed, with another four figures hauling on the tow ropes. As I mentioned before, I think I can convert the Perry Miniatures’ Naval Brigade running at trail figures (SB15) for the remainder, with a couple of Jack Tars running at the rear. I think that this will be substantial enough to suggest an entire battery coming in to action.

The slightly modified Gardner gunner putting his back into it … it’s just so much harder without wheels.
