I'm trying to find a Civil War or WWI cannon to display in a park. The only ones I've seen are ship's guns. Do you know of anyone making one?

Neverland , I made couple for my self just to try . Company called ShipWays work best , Found them on e-bay . brass type in 6mm is close not perfect . Depends on type of cannon you want. Carriage can be made from balsa wood , wheels I've bought from company in England that makes them still in lead and are very real looking . I don't have picture of one I've made yet but will post one for you soon. There was guy on E-bay over in Europe that made one cost was 25.00 Euro, but I thought is was poor representation of civil war cannon or any field cannon . They are not hard to build once you find barrel you want just takes time .

Look here, especially this or that ; on most models scale is not indicated, but perhaps the size is OK ...

Wound up buying a silver cannon charm off eBay for $5. Clipped off the ring & let it tarnish. Looks like a field piece in my Z town square. Thanks for the tips!
