One of my small projects keeping me busy was assembly of small armament cannon
From the US Civil War era this simple cannon kit from AL went together with minor issues.
I ended up replacing spokes in wheels as kit provided were a bit short.
I drilled out holes in rim and inserted toothpicks which were same size.
I plan to buy thin brass strip and darken to look like tire band on wheel.
Only other problem is the kit supplied base.
Don’t know where or how this kit was stored before I purchased it earlier this year but the nice wood base is warped. End have opposite curves. So I will replace it also
A few photos of kit so far and the base
The build so far
The base ends!
The box the kit came in
