Hi guys just started my latest railgun, part conversion part scratch build, it will be 18 inches long over buffers, I built bogies from leopold kits first

and added two extra axles from second kit to each bogie to get size then used computer to scale drawing up and down from various books .the barrel was turned in aluminiun by mate see photo along with leopold barrel and breech that will require major alterations to turn in to siegfried barrel. The rest of gun will be scratch built.View attachment 118447

Nice to have your comments guys, this is the hardest gun i have built to date as there are lots of angles to work out on body and still have the gun to alter yet but am enjoying it.

Wow.


I don't think any words can describe the effort you've put in here, I'm truly astonished with how lifelike it is! Such brilliant scratch build work, I'd love to have that talent!
