REL Limber and Cannon Yellow-Black HP

I had posted a REL limber and cannon a couple of years ago nearly identical to this one - and then I sold it! That was stupid because at the time it didn't occur to me that these REL limbers are 60mm and would go great with my MPC and other 60mm American Civil War or Old West setup's! But it is what it is and past mistakes are being corrected. 

This REL limber and cannon is different in a couple of respects from that which was posted yesterday. This one came with two different driver/rider figures and it appears that this had a firing cannon. The barrel on yesterday's was a solid casting while this one is hollow and appears to have held a firing mechanism at one time. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

My set came with a crate but I'm not sure if it's REL. Anywho it makes a nice ammo crate.

The two figures are separate poses. One is a driver and the other is riding shotgun. 

REL figures are notoriously bad and their sculpts are sophomoric at best. Fortunately there are a host of manufacturers with decent sculpts to help flesh out a Western or ACW scene, however I would still use these for nostalgia's sake. 

REL Cannon and Limber and Figures - Pt 3 - Cannon

As promised, here's the photo essay for the REL cannon which measures 5 1/4" (13.33cm) L x 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W. I s'pose REL made these in other colors as well, but as I was never able to drum up enough interest in these I've never investigated them more. So okay - Enjoy! Opa Fritz

REL Cannon and Limber and Figures - Pt 2 - Limber

Totally forgot I was gonna post separate photo essays of the REL limber and then the cannon. Okie dokie, well here's the photo essay for the limber sans driver and cannon. The limber is 5 1/2" (13.97cm) L X 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W.  Enjoy!

REL Cannon and Limber and Figures - Pt 1

Here's another vintage toy I took photos of a while back but never got around to posting: the REL Civil War Cannon and Limber. The limber is 5 1/2" (13.97cm) L X 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W. The cannon is 5 1/4" (13.33cm) L x 3 1/4" (8.25cm) W. This is kind of a cool piece but it ended up on the chopping block because...? I don't know why. It's just the right size to go well enough with my MPC 60mm ringhand Civil War stuff (the only detractor being those amorphous blobs of plastic REL pawned off as human figures). I think that, because it's my only REL toy, it feels out of place with the other ACW toys in the collection. These were really cheap toys back in the day and were actually quite nice - if you don't mind the figures. The cannon and limber are soft plastic and the horses and figures are hard plastic. The cannon is non-operating so there's a tad less play value when compared to other manufacturers. I took a gazillion photos of this thing so I'm a gonna break down the coverage into three posts. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I bought this set with the six figures shown here: 3 drivers and three holding rifles
