Today I had a little slack time and a bunch of people bugging me for a firecracker / crayon cannon so I made this . 1/8 scale 1835 Mountian Howitzer . Shown with 1/3 scale GB Mtn. Howitzer .
 

 


 
FC / crayon Mountain Howitzer , 1/8 csale . I started with steel because of the cost of screwing up a piece of brass . OD 1" LOA 4.875"  Ed

Nice!  Of course, I don't see the papa sized one, just the moma and the baby.  Need to make one for the beer can!  :)
