Mountain Howitzer Prarie Carriage

Here is a 1/3 scale Mountain Howitzer prarie carriage I helped someone with. They made their own brass barrel and purchased 18" wheels for me to use. The wheels are well made but are not dished.
At my friends request, I modified the carriage a little to accept implements.
It is his intention to trim the ends of the trunnions to fit.
Enjoy the pictures.

Some more pictures.
Here are some shots of the mounted barrel and two of the underneath side of the carriage. There is a lot going on under there.
