Cannonballs
« on: January 19, 2007, 03:27:31 PM »
Hello!

After I removed the safety burr of one of my cannons (because it looks very unmilitary) I need new ammunition.

So I look a long time for „cannonballs“. Now I found the right stuff: wooden balls without hole uncollored – 10 mm.

So I start painting (my fingers black :-)

Hi GaiusJulius,

I found it in a handicrafts shop (Bastelgeschäft) here in Bavaria. I need a long time, because the most wooden balls are pearls. They have holes and don't look like cannonballs  :(

I make a picture of the package for you. You see a URL on the shield. Possible to get more informations there.

Nice Greatings to Germany

Hi es_jedi,

Great job modifying the cannon barrels.  The wood cannonballs  look real
as well.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Best regards

Jimbo

Ink marker rather than paint - now there's a good idea.  No need to wait for them to dry!
