Cannon Model Build -Mantua

Come along for a step-by-step summary of this Cannon Model Build -Mantua. I build the Mantua 1/17th scale model of an American Coastal Cannon.

Stick around for the final minute which contains several different views of the finished project.

There were a few tricky spots in this build, most notably the poor instructions about cutting the length of the axles. At the end of the day the result is a replica you will be proud of, as I am of my results.
