An alternative approach might be to create the basic shape in wood and then use 'Green Stuff' to model the decoration. Capt Stedders, who unfortunately doesn't seem to be contributing at the moment, was the 'Green Stuff' artist. 'Green Stuff' is a two-part modelling resin. You mix together the blue and yellow components to get a green mixture which can be rolled out into thin strings which can be shaped and then left to harden. Recently I made a George III cypher to go on the barrel of a 12pdr gun model that I am making, using a sample of 'Green Stuff' which Stedders had sent me. With some practice, it was relatively easy to create the shape that I wanted  First attempt  Final result stuck to barrel and painted. Not perfect but OK for a first effort. As I said Stedders is the expert and if you search on 'Green Stuff' or Stedders, there will be some of his examples. He also did some good articles on the subject of model painting. Mike T Hi Mike, Great job, what scale is the cannon ? cheers Alan England expects that every man will do his duty.
