Emhar 18 Pounder Field Gun – Replacement Gun Shield…

I haven’t had much time in the workshop for modelling recently as I was doing a little turning job for a friend. I have managed a little on the gun shield though.

I managed to get the mounting lugs made and fitted albeit they need a bit of adjustment in order for the barrel to fit between them.

I finally managed to find a photo from the rear of the gun that allowed me to work out where the crank handle that goes through the front of the shield at an angle goes to. – The right axle as looking from the rear of the gun.

I can’t cut the rod to length until I can get the shield mounted, hopefully later today.

Lastly I managed to get a little more painting done by picking the breech out in oily steel
