Hi All
Was thinking of using some of these but I can't find any pics of them.
Failing any pics, are they similar to this:-

Cheers and thanks for any info.

Can't help on this one; only have 3, 6, 12 pounders and howitzer.
Hi All again
The image seems to have been replaced by a logo. Here's another to show what I think the naval cannon would hopefully look like:-

**EDIT**
There's nothing like slapping your forehead and answering your own question. #-o #-o 8-}
After a more careful search of the Pendraken forum, I did find a picture that Leon uploaded for an earlier thread:-

This all started by looking at WW1 Rugga Rugga and deciding that I could use these as Malay pirates/tribesmen:-

Then looking at a schooner on Aliexpress and wondering what I could arm it with for earlier periods, hence the need for naval guns.
Now I'll have to trawl through the Ancient/Medieval ranges and see what I can use for non-firearm Malays.
Thanks for putting up with the drivel :D
Cheers

I'm looking forward to seeing that drivel project when it comes together, should be impressive ;) :)
Well at least we all got to see a ?pdr Naval Gun. :) What era / war are we talking about now? :-/ :-\ :-/

Well originally I was looking at pulp/interwar (for which I'll still be using the Rugga Rugga/pseudo Malays) and then my thinking expanded to 16C/17C. I made a range of Indonesian/Malays in 15mm and always had a lot of fun zipping around the East Indies with Portuguese, Dutch, etc. The beauty of an Indonesian/Malay army is that you can use the bulk of figures (non-firearm) to cover from 12C to 20C :D.
Plus the fact that I've just tracked down a reasonably priced Revell 1/144 Chinese Junk, I've also got left over elephants from my very old 10mm range and it all seems to point that way :D.
Here's a link to info on Malay pirates in the 18C:-

Fascinating (cos I was thinking 'Swiss Family Robinson'). I'll mark that down for future reading. Thanks. :)
