Well off topic. Thought I'd share pics of my small scale firing cannons

Thanks for your responses, Bill!

I've always been fascinated by the idea of scale model cannons since the movie "Beau Geste", where the one brother gets shot by a scale model cannon on a scale model ship...(I have it on DVD now)...

Perhaps when i fanally get some time to myself, I'll turn a brass barrel and make up a hardwood carriage...If I can find some plans, or good pics...

I live/work only a few miles from Fort Niagara; they have reenactments a couple times a year...I'll have to go there and see what they have in the way of naval cannons...(Fort Erie is only an hour's drive away, too)...
