While I have come to accept and preserve fragments the way they are I have to admit that your solution adds a lot to a conception of how the complete piece would have looked like originally... |
You know, i am not a replica guy, nor do i embark into complex reconstructions; searching for (local ordinary) people willing to do the job, is a very hard or even unthinkable task . In the least they take their time to be done and, by character, i only understand things that can be immediately achieved. But this thing of the cannons gave me a feeling that i could (and should) do it. I couldn't beleive it when both carpenter and smith accepted my 'order' for the project; couldn't less beleive it when they accepted it for the second time.

Much to complex a job for a country mini collector; if breeches come by, i guess i will be glad to make a little stand for them
. Then i wait till i win the jackpot and i'll buy the respective cannon
