    Hi Justin Regarding the cannons, I decided to go the easy way- bought already made. For the next model I will try to make them by self as new interesting challenge.:) From my memory"Caldercraft" was manufacturer for them. From package they coming as polished brass finish. I just applied one coat with black primer spray. After that 2 cots with black enamel/mat paint. Only for paint I use brush to create more rough finish. For all wood parts I use Wipe-on poly/clear satin/minwax finish. I apply 3 coats and sanding between them with high grade/600,100,2000/sanding pads. Looks like anyone have different approach how to finishing they models. But the way how I did it satisfies me, and I think it looks pretty good. In any case, I hope the information above will help you build your model, that already looks beautiful.

And with that, the model is done. I have already started work on stand and display case. So one more small/last build update will coming soon. Thanks to anyone for help and good words.
