Hi Guys,

Since the closure of the Rotunda Artillery Museum, I am having trouble finding accurate details for my present project. Since I am a fussy perfectionist I am interested to know where else there might be a decent collection of good quality model artillery? I am building a 1-16th model of a very interesting cannon I saw in France last summer. It is a coastal gun on a sliding / traversing platform.

I shall post some photos when I know how to.

Hi Maurice, Is that the one they call 'firepower artillery Museum? I thought the Woolwich Arsenal was same as the Rotunda. However I just read some rewieves on Firepower and it has a lot of full size and model cannons. I will try and post some photos of my model 'Gibraltar' cannon in the next few days.

Thanks for your info.

Is the Rotunda the Artillery museum at Eastbourne, visited it when I was last in UK, back in 1984, it seemed a permanent fixture then. Is this a temporary closure? Ian S C
