Rail Gun Update

I am almost finished with the Lee-Brooke Rail Gun. Here are some shots showing the model. I attempted to add any detail visible in the two existing photos. Everything on the model except the wheels has been built from scratch.

The iron armor is laser cut and engraved acrylic.
I still need to add the brake wheel and the cannon elevation wheel.  With the brake wheel installed, the brakes will work.

I plan to make a solid cherry pedestal and acrylic case for it to match the existing Dictator mortar model. These will be on display at the B&O Museum next year starting in January.

  1. Great piece of work, Bernard! I really like it. It will be a good showpiece in the B&O museum. How long will it be on display there?

  2. The plan is for this model, plus my model of the Dictator, to be on display for one year. Then they will come back to me. I am also on the hook to build two more models for B&ORR Museum that will be in their permanent collection. They are due in 3 weeks. Gulp.
