Album info

Old model kit found in an "antique store for $2.00. Added a lot of details along with 1:125 figures from Shapeways.

Note, the insulators on the antenna wires are from a bead store, size 11/0, clear. Antenna wire is 34 gauge (0.16mm) from same bead store. Deck gun is not glued so it can be moved along the vertical 👍 axis.

To make the deck gun appear to be firing a shell, I used a small diameter tube over the original gun casting, then I used a small spring from Kadee Products (HO sale) P/N 637, can be found in a model train store. Super glued the home made shell to the spring then glued to the inside of the tube.
