chaps, i need some help. i'm desperately keen on building a scale model of a RHA QF 13 Pdr cannon, the Nery Gun to be exact.... and i cannot find any scale drawings of the blasted thing. i've managed to find only a scant three-view scan of a 13 Pdr and one of a AA conversion, and a better one of an 18 pdr (similar design).... but, no details on the limber, harness, the carriage....

actually need to build THREE, to represent the Action at Nery properly.... with limbers and ammunition boxes.... two can be simple affairs but the Nery Gun itself must be accurate. any help at all will be profoundly appreciated.

Have you tried contacting the I.W.M. [Imperial War Museum] they are on the web, they do have one of these guns, i have found them helpful in the past.

thanks; i put in an e-mail to them today, maybe they can help. i located a place that sells old Britains toy soldiers and the price on a 54mm scale gun and limber was over 350 USD..... yikes!

Possibly a bit late to be any good, I know nothing about guns, but is this the right one?

This is also a good website for blueprints, I don't think they have the cannon you are looking for, but good for future ref.
