Cannon / Truck Assemblies

Confederacy was armed with 28 of these 12 pounders (cannon ball weight).
There were also 6 smaller 6 pounders mounted on her quarter deck and two of these smaller guns mounted on her forecastle.

Each cannon was created in a plastic resin from a single rubberized mold.  I created the mold from a single "master" cannon which was turned on my mini wood lathe.

There are more than 30 separate parts to each of the cannon / truck assemblies seen here.
