Hi- I'm brand new to this site. I'm hoping to get some input so bear with me. I'm building 1/16 scale models of a 3 Inch Ordnance Rifle and a Limber. I got a couple questions on details to help finish these.
1. How exactly is the Prolonge rope wrapped on the gun? Everything I've seen has it wrapped in a figure 8. The Artillerists Manual only says "wound". But on one end is a tow ring and on the other is a toggle. So what is the technique to wrap the rope to secure these so they aren't dangling loose? Admittedly, I've never paid that close to that and nothing online shows it.
2. What is the regulation size of the tarpaulin folded and stowed on top of the limber? I searched around but can't find any reference to a size. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
