My latest project - a 1:72 scale scratch built railgun using a 1:35 scale paper model plan and converted to my scale. The model is 16 inches long and I spent two months full time on it. The figures are W˄D resins.

Wonderful Barry. I see the gun goes up and down even. Is it all scratched or are some kit bits used, like the wheels?

Stunning. Beautifully made and that in such a small scale.
Very, very good detailed as well.

Wow! marvelous detail and the fact that it's scratch-built to boot! I personally would have freed-up the room on the mantel and kept it in 1/35. Same way that I've got a 1/96 of the Prinz Eugen intimidating visitors...

Thanks for comments Frank it has to be in 1 72 scale to fit in with my ten other railguns, six are scratch built.
