Model ships cannon

[olderdan]

I finally got it finished, it only took 53 years so it must be some sort of record.
It has been many years since I made a model of anything but as I had been reunited with the barrel( see earlier post) I felt I should finish it.
I realised that once again I was descending into the minutia of everything, as nothing handy seems to of the right looking scale so has to made to suit otherwise an oversize part destroys the effect.
I also was reminded of what a small cost hobby it is, mine comprises of a bit of oak flooring, some nails and pop rivet shanks and a bit of curtain rod for wheel rims.
My lathe does not have a high enough speed for making tiny parts so most of them have been hand turned using a graver and my high speed tool post spindle. It looks o/k to my eye considering I freestyled it from web images, my wife even liked it much to my surprise.
As I fired it once the barrel has been spiked with lead so it is no longer a possible weapon (very necessary in the UK).
