ACW 28 Union Limber, Team and Guns
|
Pack contents 12 horses (6 with riders), 8 wheels, 6 gun barrels, 4 Limber crewmen, 2 limbers and 2 gun carriages plus 7 bases |
|
First things first... Ensure the work surface is protected, and there is adequate ventilation Using a sharp craft knife or similar, score and cut one of the bases in half, and from another a strip, about 1/3 of it's width. Take care when using the knife. |
| Using a small amount of superglue, affix the bases as shown below. |
|
Assemble the wheels to the limber carriage with a spot of adhesive. Select one of the unused gun barrels, cut the barrel to produce the limber support... |
| After the carriages are individually assembled and painted... |
|
Place the horses such that they fit onto the front base, when happy with their position apply a small amount of adhesive to each of the figures and affix. |
|
Adding the Limber to the horse team Position the limber carriage such that it is aligned and very close to the horse team, then place the gun carriage behind this, a spot of adhesive applied to secure them will be required. |
