A Battery of cannon?
These are model scratch built cannon that I have put together over the past 50 years using scrap brass and timber off-cuts from the workshop. They are not to scale and are not type specific, just representative of an era.
Photo 1&2 is a Napoleonic era 6lb field gun, photos 3&4 represents a 15th/16th century Bombard, these large bore guns were used to fire large round stones at fortifications. Photo 5&6 is obviously a naval gun whilst photo 7 is a mortar . The last is a naval swivel gun which could be mounted on the railing of a ship and fired musket ball and shot. They were fun to make and some have even been fired.
Well done, Ian. They have a unique, antiquated look to them.
Thanks Gary, the naval gun is 50+ years old so I guess that makes it an antique.
Excellent job, Ian!
Thank you Spiros.
@very nice Ian! Realistic!
Thank you Cricket, as they all fire I guess they are "real".
Very nice scratch work, Ian.
Thanks Rafi.
Beautiful scratch build canons, Ian @firelockg
Thank you John.
Really nice work Ian.
Thanks Milan
Awesome builds. It's nice to see different subjects, especially scratch built ones. Really nice work.
Thanks Clint, when I have a piece of scrap brass I may turn a barrel and it could take a year or two before I have built the carriage, so they are not made in "haste".
