One More Sumerian Battle Cart

I managed to push out one more Sumerian battle cart before month end.  Now, effort at the painting desk returns back to working on SYW French.  I may slip in a random Sumerian unit or two while I work on the SYW project but I really want to focus some attention on French cavalry and artillery.  There are a number of War of Austrian Succession scenarios in mind and I need some French to complete these scenarios.

What is coming up on the Sumerian front?  Well, work begins on a couple of units of bowmen and then followed by javelin skirmishers.  Oh, this battle cart and crew are from Newline Designs.

With Las Guasimas on the gaming table and the game later today, thoughts have been unsurprisingly directed back toward the SAW project.  The scenario called for a Colt Machine Gun.  I thought, for sure, there was one already painted.  Wrong!  Not only was there not one painted but I did not even have a model in The Lead Pile.  Such an oversight.  Today's role of a Colt MG will be played by a Gatling Gun. Hmm.  Where did I see a Gatling Gun on display?  I recall seeing one on display in a store/museum somewhere.  But where?  Rummaging through travel photos, I discovered the gun was in a store in Ketchikan, Alaska.  A couple of photos of the weapon below:

I wonder if this piece originally came mounted on a wooden tripod?  I suppose if one planned to display this piece in the parlor, there is not enough space for the wheeled carriage.  One or two US Hotchkiss field pieces would be useful to add to the collection too.  Time to thumb through the Old Glory catalog.
