More Latest Projects [lots of photos]

I thought I'd post a few more pictures of some of the other projects I built recently.

Here's a Medievel Bombard [soda can size]  that I built for a Museum located near Helsinki Finland.









A Handgonne barrel to a person in Finland associated with the above museum.







A golf ball size deck swivel cannon modeled after the one in the Howard k. Brown collection. page 28.

You're getting large (as some nowadays say), I see you've now gone "international." :)
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Another couple of great cannons, Dom! Excellent job! And the Handgonne is "sweet", too! BoomLover

Dom,
    Congrats on the international "fame" great work as always. The swivel gun has lived up to all my expectations. Was a real treat for a school day naval presentation. Ran the kids like a parrot crew walking them thru without powder. At the conclusion of the presentation I would load and make smoke. Thanks again.
