I'm still making eyelets and rings, dozens and dozens of the things! I've upgraded my tools for this with new round needle nosed pliers and a decent pair of flush cut snipsIMG20230729214027.thumb.jpg.f0a904338a9753cfd9d72498f81735af.jpg

Oh and I also got a couple of Vallorbe needle files.

Thanks to everyone who's looked in, commented and hit the thumbs up.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until Christmas time before I can start arming Winnie, this year's list is cannon and more cannon, and maybe chapter 7 parts.

Cheers

Hello again, after a long hiatus I'm back. Getting on for 18 months, I don't know where the time went!

The order for Winnie's guns has been placed, so it's just a matter of waiting for them to arrive.

Cheers

Happy New Year to everyone!

So, work has started on the guns, it is going to take me a while to adjust to working at the small scale, after such a long time away from the modelling.

These are just a few photos of progress,IMG20250114125449.thumb.jpg.966d9bb008c6bcdbbfab49a09e999860.jpg

There is still so much to doIMG20250114125538.thumb.jpg.a4273fc06d18739cdf7670b0c2e801dc.jpg

This is the first of 24, IMG20250114125425.thumb.jpg.715c100da391ca4a7e7392f0743fb309.jpg

I have to say, Chuck's carriages are excellent and the barrels too. The jig is a great little tool and so helpful in constructing them.

Thanks for all your interest and watching my fumbling about.

Cheers

I now have 8 carriages made up, although I have to give them another coat of paint and paint the beds and quoins.

Obviously I have to also make and fit the iron work on them tooIMG20250116122822.thumb.jpg.594a4f4659e410bfcbb72a9c5e2c8629.jpg

Thanks Fred, I shall more than likely order those when I order chapter 7 and the remaining barrels I require.

It's good to be be back Chuck 😁 

Thanks for watching .

Cheers till next time

Just a thought. It’s easier to drill and add the various ring and eye bolts before assembly or at least drill the holes for them. 

Regards,

Glenn
