Hi guys


my latest scratch build railgun is a whopper, there was only two built the one I am building is the first the 21cm K 12 v.  the  gun was 135 ft long over buffers and the barrel was 109 ft long and the gun had to be jacked up by 3 .28 ft for each firing.  


I am using bogies from two leopold kits altered to suit there is a total of 18 sets of wheels everything else is scratch including barrel


   In 1 72 scale the model is 25 in long and barrel 18 in long.it has taken 6 weeks so far to draw up plans and build main parts of gun to where I am now, and I have a long way to go so might be done for Christmas .....


hope you like.
