Largest arsenal model cannon I've seen

Barrel of this model weighs 45 Spanish pounds, is about 27" long. All of the materials in this model are the same as they would be in the full-scale "production" cannons, except perhaps in this one, the wheels are bronze vice cast iron. I think the reason for that is that the Spanish Royal Cannon Foundry at Manila handled primarily bronze, and I'm not sure if they were set up to do cast-iron. Hey, the bronze wheels look better anyway! More details, link to 15-photo slideshow here:
