Sounds like you are having fun.
Don't be surprised if there are a lot you still can't get. Only about a third of the parts I ask for in the US are available at the time, and then some of those never arrive because they are actually out of stock when the put the order together. I have had better luck when ordering through friends at Germany DS, but there are still parts that are permanently discontinued, including some important Steck parts  :'(

Fantastic George!!!

I placed mine on the 23d of March. Items confirmed to be in stock or not in the 25th... I send payment on the 28th and received notice that my items will be shipped 4,5,or 6 April and will take 10 to 12 days to arrive... I am still waiting... But I don't complain, at least we have a DS spare parts service...

Hmm I will have to re-check our DS, I could use a dozen or two of these. Did it have one part# for a complete one or did you piecemeal it out ?

Will you be using a certain set of rules for gaming?  I've always been an admirer of HG Well's book, Little Wars.  Have you read it?

You really need to read HG Well's 'Little Wars' if you got that many cannons!  (it could be modified for catapults too)

Actually you can read it for free online:

Could these work? I actually think they do.
And they look nicer and more realistic then the black.

Nope, they don't fit the western cannon carriages unfortunately...

I did not have any luck with the cannons either Angelo, we even asked for different variations of the cannon, even the US non-shooting one, and nothing was available...
