This thing took me two months with the help of a lathe, scroll saw, dremil and various hand tools. I think this will be the last cannon that doesn't mount on a ship I'm going to build. The cannon in this post is a lot tougher to build due to it's tiny size where my cannon is about 18 inches long and is always viewed from a distance unlike the one posted here, so I can get away with more flaws such as the steel barrel when the original is cast iron I think. It also is close to being accurate but not perfect due to the fact I built it using pictures only with a few measurements    | ||

The deal seems to be that you can start off with a kit and prove that it was built within 3 months, the price you paid will be credited to your account...seems to me that if you're a fast builder that you could get th entire set in you're collection for the price of the first one...worth looking into and something that I wish to try now that I'm gonna have the room in my new place to do so | ||
