| Very interesting, nice work. Looks like a heavy piece of machinery! |

The gun, only awaiting it's new set of tires. |

Primed and ready for casting. The tire on the right is what came in the kit, my starting point. |

One down, three to go. Actually I bought a resin casting kit. This will be my first attempt at casting. The nuts are from Verlinden. The center nut is an actual nut with a paper cover to overlay the bolt hole. Wait, is that a dirty term? |

One wheel with its grooves. The background is a pattern I made to show the bolt spacing. It took several tries to cut one out that would work on the wheel. Combination of a compas and hand work with an X-Acto blade. The notch is where the valve stem would be. |

Added the sites. Not shown, but the crosshairs are light sewing thread that was run through glue to keep from getting fuzzy. |

| I have an operational 37 mm grenade launcher that we shoot...it is a hoot! |

| Thanks everyone. John, I do have a 40mm shell. I'll have to pose it with the gun later. |

I've been watching the BBC series "World At War" on the Military Channel. Except for the fact that MC cuts out about 10 minutes per episode to fit in commercials, it is still the best doc I've seen on WW2. I've seen the Bofors being used by the British, Germans, Russians and the US. This gun was everywhere. |

The left side. Again more paper details. I'm leary of the elevation handles breaking. I'll have to be careful. On the next one I may use soldered brass. |

I really like this pose: Ready for action. |
| Creosotewind, Image # 17013 | 16 Mar 10 17:05 |
The little details, like the handle and that switch by the barrel are cut and folded paper. |

Close up of where the action is. |

| Sweet...did you price the ammo??? |

| VERY NICE!! The chairs and carriage came out well. Lots of "eye candy" happening. |
| poppy, Comment for image # 16987 | 16 Mar 10 12:32 |
| Well, if any were completed, I'll bet they didn't look like this. Awesome!!! |
