Title: 28mm WOTR Cannon bits and pieces suggestions
Post by: steders on March 02, 2015, 04:29:40 PM: I've got 3 Perry guns to paint.
They don't come with any kit (cannon balls, baskets etc)
Does anyone make this stuff?
I've had a look but can't find anything. Cannon balls could be made from ball bearings but after that I'm struggling
Any thoughts?

Ditto The Assault Group 30 Years War guns.
Don't know whether either of those two manufacturers sell all the artillery set dressing separately, but they're all nice pieces sculpted in both cases by Nick Collier. Work perfectly well for WoTR.
Would be worth checking their websites.

Maybe a Perry plastic late medieval artillery set will happen one day. Feel sure that would include such bits and pieces. There again, it might never happen and isn't going to help you now :)

Warfare has some nice detailing parts packs as well.

You could scratch build the Breech tube with plastic tube and a bit of wire ?

The cannon balls would be quite small..so ball bearings ?
