gave it a coat of satin black yesterday,going to start on the carriage today,have ordered some wheels for it ,they are cast iron with a thin rubber tyre.not strictly as original but with deference to my gunroom floor which is where she will sit when finished..
more guns than you can shake a stick at!

All made from scrap. Bits of Harrier, Jaguar, Tornado, Shaw Europa and Huntair pathfinder microlight. The Mahogany trail is from a chapel of rest and the barrel liner is from a .75 Brown Bess. Waste not etc. Cannon are fun!
