Keith Black Posted June 22 #91 Posted June 22 https://www.shapeways.com/product/KVS8JDNSF/six-1-32-scale-vickers-machine-guns?optionId=301091122&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/product/A94KRLFCL/two-1-30-vickers-machine-guns?optionId=299287528&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?type=product&q=1%3A33+vickers+gun I searched Shapeways for Vickers sight and they have one that about the size of the model so I came up dry on the sight but they do have vickers guns. Chris, I don't know if any of the above will work for you? Being 3D resin they're probably more robust than paper and adding a sight might be easier on one of them because they are 3D resin? mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Egilman and 1 other 4 Quote Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration

ccoyle Posted June 22 Author #93 Posted June 22 The Big Reveal! This one is as done as it's gonna get. It is not, in fact, as done as it could be, because I have made an informed decision to leave off some rigging lines that are both poorly documented in the kit diagrams and not well-attested in photos of either other models or real aircraft. Truth is, only die-hard purists may notice their absence. As I have hinted at before, this is not one of the better-designed kits I have worked on. There were many niggling omissions in the diagrams, which left many of the more nuanced construction bits pretty much up to the builder's imagination. I would give this kit a three out of five stars on the design and ease of assembly. The artwork, as I said at the beginning, is very nice and gives the model a good measure of 'curb appeal'. Enjoy the pictures! Egilman, druxey, Roger Pellett and 34 others 23 14 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
