        They look better done with antique fluid rather than painted black or left brass I think

        Brian,
        This is really looking good mate, and I agree the guns look better finished with the antique fluid.

        Very nice Brian. That copper tiled hull is something else.

          Having a hour this morning and dropped a gun barrel in to the hull and it won't come out lol so ordered a replacement £11 for a pack of two ...... a bit shocked at the price, 104 guns would be silly price

                Grates certainly look like real wood. Is it?

                  That's a neat looking piece of kit. Should be very useful.
