New cannon! PIC HEAVY

[mrclean89]

So I picked up a cannon and uniform off of an older gent a while back along with a few flinters and another buckskin outfit. Then I went about fixing her up, Still need to make a bracket for one side of the barrel which is difficult cause I dont have a vice or torch or really know how too. I also need to get a new breech plug made. On the cosmetic side of it i glued it and epoxied it filled the cracks. Then sadned down all the wodd and metal and re painted her. So without further adue here is The 1/3 scale mountain howitzer.

what do you guys think ?

You need trunnion clamps. There is nothing holding the barrel down.

Otherwise, very nice. Wood looks to be in good shape.

I know i have one clamp but the other one is long gone, i need to make another one soon.

I think...

1) It's worth about $1000. That would be the most I payed, but it maybe worth more...

2) Dude in the Confederate uniform looks like a twit...

Doesn't anyone pick up thier hulls in BC?

 

[mrclean89]

That place has thousands its just crazy, id like to go up there and clean them all up. If you reloaded for shotguns it would be a gloryhole. Sadly I dont as of yet. However I do pick up all the empty brass and stripper clips when I am up there. I always forget to brig a rake though to clean it up, atleast its contained to one area though.
