marc thanks for your comments
its a verlinden cannon in resin and as far as I am aware is the only acw field piece available in 54mm.Its a bit crude in parts and the wheels were very difficult to put together.
its not a patch on the acw napoleon cannon produced by hincliffe models in the uk about 20 years ago . In my opinion no one as come close to matching their artillery pieces since. In fact their seems to be a dearth of 54mm artillery of all periods up to the 2nd world war available in the market apart from verlinden. Unlessof course someone knows different

From what I can see from the pictures it looks nice, what I would do different is maybe smoothe the transition in colors, in other words , blending.

Cheers
