Krupp C64
« on: December 23, 2012, 04:26:08 AM »
I need a source of Krupp C64s and limbers for a German force ca 1874. Can anyone help?
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to all!

Perry Miniatures' Sudan range has one or something very similar.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Nope, 7 pounder screw gun, not close.
Foundry has something close (FPPG2) but can't tell from the photo anyone have ?
 I have some other Krupps but they all come with shields and as far I know C64s did not.

Carlos was referring to Perry pack SB 52, not SB 45, and the gun is indeed a Krupp model (dunno if this is a C64 though) :

Indeed. I have no idea whether that's a C64 or not  but it looks like a pretty reasonable facsimile to me.

Have you tried Spencer Smith miniatures? - they have at least one Krupp in their traditional FPW range and may well have other stuff secreted about their website.

Arthur and Carlos that is indeed close, a 6 pounder rather than a 4, but close enough that I might order two as I also wanted heavier artillery than just 4 pounders. 
Hobbit I had not thought about Spencer Smith and that looks like a 4 pounder and I will probably order that also.
Thank you all for your replies and Happy Holidays!
