Making 6mm Granny Grate Artillery

Small Black beads, cotton swabs cut to size and painted with gunmetal craft paint, granny grate cut into an elongated T. The cotton tips of the swabs removed and can be unwrapped for artillery smoke. Assemble cannon frame and barrels with glue. #7 granny grate and these beads friction fit and do not require glue.  Tip: easier to fit beads to grate before gluing cannon and barrel frame.

Heavy artillery
  Galloper guns (light Artillery) use a shorter granny grate T and the barrels are made with gunmetal #7 granny grate.
