El C., there's nothing to share anymore. The site (Palmer's Armoury) has been down for quite a while now. It seems that you, like me, have a thing for artillery in miniature. This guy (Zane Palmer) out of South Africa, makes some of the finest I've ever seen. I wish I had saved some pics to my photo file but I figured his site was on the net so I didn't bother. His father ran a machine shop so he grew up learning that trade and he had a love of cannon since he was a kid, so he naturally put the two together. He cast and/or machines all his barrels and builds the carriages to scale from authenticated specs. All the hardware he makes for the carriages and mortar beds are fashioned using the lost wax method of casting. He uses a jewelers vacuum casting machine to get the intricate details he attains on these parts. All the muzzle loading model's barrels are made from bronze, the breech loaders from a later South Arfrican history are machined from steel. He stated on the former site that most of the muzzle loaders were fireable models. I have a list that I made of the guns that he had for sale, just in case there happened to arise an incredible outside chance of me having a couple grand in my pocket that wasn't already earmarked for more "practical" uses: USS Constitution 24 Pdr Gun, French 6 Inch Howitzer circa 1793, 12 Pdr French Field Gun circa 1793, British Carronade 1779-1855, French 13'' Mortar (18th Century), British 42 Pdr ? Sea-Coast defense Gun on an Iron Skeleton Carriage (19th Century), British Bronze 7 Pounder Rifled Muzzle Loader used during the Anglo-Zulu Wars (19th Century), "Long Cecil" Breech Loader used by the British in the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1900 and the "Long Tom" Breech Loader used by the Boers in the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902. You'd have to see these replicas to appreciate their incredible details.
