Diecast or home made?

Nice find you did there Rhodes.

I thought you could either buy a diecast or make one yourself

I think this one is a home made diecast.

Well, it was made under a roof, so one can call it home, maybe...

No, it's resin or some kind of and who was selling had other "gun/canon" scenes. There was a napoleonic scene, late medieval, XVII century and can not remember more.
May be part of some collection.

Any chance that you found a trademark or date under the base?

I'm thinking that's a find-and-a-half.

Either way, try to find some kind of glass or clear plastic cover to protect it.
