I do like the interepreation on the guns!

Very nice!
What did you use for the "reduction" section...did you turn some metal on a lathe?
Looks very sophisticated. :cool

Thanks.

The reduced part is what Zombie Killer said, it's the tip of a metal pen. I spent about 20 minutes in Office Depot today looking for one that would work. I hollowed it out so I could put the brass rod in it on a drill press.

It was a nice pen though.

Can we see the pen Rich LOL? Love the cannons, they should cast up very well, did you half base them on the Cantwell guns....just have that very "retro" to SW feel about them....i likey!

Have you thought about whether you'll include decals or paint masks with the kit?

Here's the wing cast's. I cast metal bars in them for strength and for pegging it to the body.
