Fortress Gun ?
In my searches for some guns for my ships, I found the Mantua ships cannon. A nice chunky barrel and gun carriage all for £1.60. Its a bit small for 40mm figs but about right for 28mm figs.
Useful for either a fortess gun or for pirate or other ships.
Yes, the gun barrel is brass and the gun carriage is made of wood. The parts of the gun carriage press out from the matrix they have been cut into - assembly with glue took me about 5 mins
A blog documenting the encounters between the armies of the imaginary nations of the Kingdom of Wittenberg and its neighbours (including the Kingdom of Monrovia and their allies). My inspiration being drawn from 'Charge or How to Play Wargames' by Young & Lawford and 'The Wargame' by Charles Grant.
I have a number of other period interests for wargaming (from ancients to WW2), these have their own blogs, see below.

Nice! Looks like real brass and wood?
