Finished my brass Napoleon today . You have to hand it to people who Finnish brass , they really want to . Tried steel wheels instead of brass for contrast , will have to see if it looks good after a while.

With a little bit of cropping the picture it is a CALENDAR shot!

Now that's a pretty cannon, Moose; I like the color contrast between the two metals.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Test report . I fired the brass cannon with a added charge of a 9mm shell of 3F black powder and a square of toilet paper for wad  without the breech opening up . A firecracker in the smaller 1/4 in dia x 1/2 in long chamber effectively seals the breach.  8)
