There is a saying in Russian, I am sure you're familiar with it. We don't look for the easy ways, we just overcome. This goes for you, in the most positive manner possible!
Just a bit terminology
The part that gets shot off from the cannon is called the shell (if it's containing explosive agent) or a shot (if it's kinetic or solid). The part that holds the powder that is ignited and propels the shell out is called a casing. The combination of shell, propellant, primer and casing us called round or cartridge. This is not by any mean coming to say something bad about your model.
Thank you for the explanations. Though I am into tanks, I still learn a lot of details and terminology.
And yes, my style is - make maximum possible from paper
