Hello and thank you very much Nap
The cannon is made entirely of wood, including the barrel, except for the metal details which are in fact .... In metal. The barrel was turned, then painted and finally lacquered to simulate metal. I hope I was clear.
Thanks again
Francesco

As others have said, this is a great subject. I would love to see more figures representing the various states that eventually joined together to form modern Italy, such huge potential for the modeller.

Thank so much Richard, the evolution of single states into modern nations appear to me as an interesting subject, both historical and modelling.
Cheers
