Started roughing out the cannon today and its really puts everything in perspective....... its huge. And my measurements are correct.
Its in a total of four parts - the breech, the mantlet and its tube, the bit in front of that and then the barrel.
They are all held together with a length of M5 studding. This is necessary as the mantlet needs to be removeable to get the casemate off.
Lot of detailing and stuff to do but the cannon is in the home stretch...
