So we start with the cannon battery.

Our intention is to make 3 pieces, one firing, one loading and the last one destroyed. If we have time it will be accompanied by an engineer and some cover.

Do you have a preference for the engineer's equipment?  Or do we do it by aiming the cannon?

Equipment would make the engineer much more characterful. Maybe a little sextant or an eyeglass?

another +1 for sextant, by some cover - are we talking entrenched emplacement, gabions or mantlet type

Hung Duong

longrifle or repeatergun/pistol

only cannon? Or do we get morter, volleygun etc too?

In addition to engineering equipment, stockpile of ammunition? A horse standing nearby? (As if it had just pulled the cannon)?

Just throwing ideas out (no expectation that any or all will be created): cannon ball piles, wad screw, ramrod, botefeux, bucket, alternate ammo types in piles or crate (chain shot for example). Some of these are best modeled in the hand of the engineers / crew. Gabions are nice, as are crates - generic to most artillery - maybe as part of a scenic set someday if not now?

This cannon is awesome! I'm wondering if the shield can be made as a separate part to allow for different emblems to be used on different cannons? I guess your notion of the cannon firing might be a separate piece too so it can be magnetized and placed when fired?
