The London War Room "Tiger Cannon"
In my search for a more appropriate Indian cannon, I asked around on TMP about the London War Room's Tiger Cannon. I quickly received a reply from Dave, a fellow Aussie, who not only possessed an elusive TLWR Tiger Cannon, but was willing to part with it for FREE! This bloke is my new hero. Never have I experienced such kindness and generosity from a total stranger. To top it off he sent it to me for FREE! along with a stack of other miniatures he thought I'd like. All for FREE! His awesome SYW India collection is here - please check it out. Dave you are a legend mate - thank you.
As for the cannon, well I love it. It's huge and chunky, seen below with a Foundry mini. It's not the best casting but lovely all the same and will paint up nicely. I tried to get a close-up of the barrel details and will take more pictures when I paint her (see her painted here). (Click the images to enlarge)
I have searched high and low for images of this cannon (and the miniature itself) on the Net and have never come across one. I hope someone finds theses pictures useful and pray a company picks up the London War Room's "Fighting Men of India" range quickly!
