Hi Guys,
Made a start today.
Firstly I cleaned up all the parts. Then took to re-shaping the cannon barrel.
I then built up the carriage and gave it a coat or red ochre. I installed the wheels and drilled out the shafts for the pins. Mean while I had the barrel in Blackener. Once done I glued Tin foil to the rear.
I will post more this week.
Cheers

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
I haven't decided where I'm going with this one but am copying a picture of one so may just recreate that picture. Hopefully!
Here are the latest pics. I've moved the metal stays to where they should be, also added the wheel pins now the brass is black. I added the cannon barrel tied down rigging.

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.
I have started on the base, which is set to a specific size. I will reveal later why but its not what you would expect. 
Here are the latest pics, as mentioned i did the base also i have installed the caps and pins on the cannon barrel.
