I made one of these a couple of years ago...I was just going to change the launch tube but I ended up redoing all of it. The union soldiers feeding the rockets stayed the same. The Hale Rocket Launcher was first used by the New York Light Artillery 24th Independent Battery.
Were they any good as I saw Mythbusters do a show on one I believe?
ReplyDeleteHello Fran...no they were not accurate. Both sides had these but they were rarely used.
ReplyDeleteWhether they were good or not, it's a great looking dio!
ReplyDeleteVery nice room Captain, I did not know that the rocket was already at this time, thanks for this little course of history

Thank you Captain...It was actually invented in 1844 by William Hale and used by the British.

Deleteoutstanding as ever Captain, you may yet tempt me to commit to a civil war project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Smillie...go for it, you might like it.
DeleteNice piece of modeling, Capt. The artillery piece is a scratchbuild isn't it? I think I see a lock-nut up at the top of the launch tube support.
