***Grannys bits come in handy,for example remember those round hair curler thingies ? a sort of plastic moulded tube except that they have numerous holes in them,fit a muzzle at the front,a piece of balsa block for the mounting,wire for the handle and fittings and you have one instant early machine gun,very light as well for flying models of WW1 aeroplanes.
Years ago the old 'Aeromodeller' magazine ran a 'Gadget Review' feature,as a hard up school boy the column was a source of income for me,having had several gadgets mentioned from washing up bottles made into fuel bottles,to Army surplus shop salt water activated batteries put to good use.
