Hi all!
It's new model.
Now I'm working about this antitank, always 1/16 scale, in metal like brass, lead/tin alloy, steel.
It's particularly complicated, but I want that all pieces work like the original one.

You're not going to make ammunition for it are you? In 1/16 it could do some serious damage

Looks fantastic. You must have a great work shop set up to get results like this Stefano.

Hi Stefano,
you did it again (I still remember your previous model!)
I am drafting a FlaK 88 at 1/10 scale and wish you to tell me how you made the square hole for the bolt ???

Hi George,
first I built the rudder (is ok in english?) of the bolt and the round hole for the barrel.
Then I made the fusion with the alloy in a little box, open up and down.
If you like, this is the link where you can see some photos of the mechanism in construction.

If you need some other information, let me know.

Just as curiosity, what's your country, Usa, UK or... I did not find in your profile.

(sorry for my english)

Hi Stefano,

sorry for my English too.

I am from Patras - Greece and if you ever visit Patras, I will offer you the best capuccino that money can buy this side of Adriatica and discuss for hours.....

George.

PS My models are exclusively from metal since I make them to fire (look at my photos for some results).

I like your firing models.
Now the big gun, it's on another planet!
Did you see other my photos about mechanism and the square hole?
Let me know if the process is clear for you.
