New Project
« on: January 26, 2006, 04:17:59 PM »
For an up coming project, I decided to build one of these to see what it looked like. It is a barrel called a "Pack Parrott". None are known to exist, and there is no record of any ever built. As far as I know. Kind of a mean looking barrel I think. This is a quarter scale version. It is 9" long and machined out of 2.250" 1018 shaft. After the trunnions are welded on I will paint it Black.

Wes,

 I was searching for a thread of yours about casting cap-squares and came across this one; I don't recall seeing this before, in my opinion it is a miniature gem. I can't believe that no one posted any comments on it, the Philistines.

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.

Well done.  Are you going to make a pack carriage for it?

That is one beautiful little warrior! Great concept, well made, tough and strong looking, but elegant! I really like this design and also the way Wesley made it! Good Job, and I wonder if there are any more out there, or, will "Powder Keg" make them again? BoomLover
