1 72 scale scratch built 274 mm French railgun

[bazers]

Hi guys long time since I posted . but managed to build another railgun.
This is a 274 mm French gun with a steel plated armoured housing fielded in the summer of 1915.
The model is 11 inches long and was a lot easer than my normal builds as I did not have to build the main part of gun and breach.
I have depicted it as having a rest and receiving fruit from two sellers .

That is a beautiful result .......I'm starting to get the itch to pull my K5 out of the stash, but I worry about where I would put it after I get it completed. It has two locomotives an ammunition car and a crew quarters car all in the same box.......even in 1-87 scale it would end up over 21/2 feet long.!! By the way Barry, in your last photo there is a VERY out of scale visitor parked on the roof of your railgun. Aerial recon? Rick H.

Hi Rick did not notice it when posted as you can tell photos shot in summer.
