Default RE: Scratch-built English Galleon 1/36 scale

Here's some pics of the cannons firing (Roman Candle Filler used as propellant) This creates much more flame than black powder, and much less noise. These are planned for display use with no projectiles loaded (yeah right), only a piece of paper to hold the powder down. I need to design a suitable multi co2 cannon bank so I can use the ship in a less dangerous form of combat than what is currently possible.


Imagine what a 24-gun broadside of these would look like...

I need to make a video of the 15 cannons I have so far firing from the ports of the ship. The cannons are about 2 inches long each.
