About this model
A 60 pounder Parrott rifle on a pivot carriage. It's said the sloop-of-war Cumberland when rescued from burning at Gosport VA in 1861, was sent to New England for repairs, and her aft 10 inch Dahlgren pivot gun was replaced with a 60# Parrott rifle. Her having a rifled gun mounted was cause for Bucannan choosing her as his first target on March 8th, 1862. The carriage for this model is pure conjecture, and a slightly altered version of the IX Dahlgren's pivot carriage. To figure out rescaling in your slicer; divide 36 (the model is 1:36 scale) by the scale you want; for instance: 36/76 = .474 or 41%; 36/96=.375 or 38%, etc.
