Here is a 1/2 scale 2nd Model Prarie carriage I built for a 1/2 scale Mountain Howitzer barrel.
A field carriage is much more involved than a naval carriage because of the amount of metal work involved. You also have to deal with the wheel issue.
Spoked wheels are hard to make and very time consuming.
In this case, the wheels were purchased. They are 18" tall.
I took a few liberties with the build that devieated from the drawings a little.
Enjoy the pictures.

Here are some pictures of the carriage upside down. There is a lot going on under there with the metal work.
