Model deck gun
gbritnell:
Hi Marv,
I admired your work on this gun when I first saw it and still do. You are absolutely correct about taking a break from engines once in awhile that's why I have models of pistols, rifles, governors etc.

Just a warning about this type of model, check your local firearms regulations. Due to the barrel length the model showing would be classified as a handgun and there for a restricted weapon in Canada. I have seen a similar one made from a .303 Lee Enfield where the barrel length was kept over 18" and there fore still classified as a rifle.
Regards,
Gerald.
PS Sept.10/12 What ever the size you would need one of the following;
Firearms Possession Licence
Firearms Possession and Acquisition Licence
Restricted Firearms classification on one of the above.
Plus they must be renewed every five years

Very nice Marv, sadly we aren't permitted to own stuff like that over here, not working ones anyway without some sort of firearms certificate.
I've long thought I'd like to build a model of a muzzle loader, perhaps a Dahlgren from the 1860's. If it had an open touch hole though I'd need a shotgun licence to own it. :(
NickG:
Marv, that is fantastic .... especially impressive to me as I work with 'modern' versions of its full size relatives! I wish I had the skills to make something similar ... maybe one day!
Bogstandard:
On another site, I have already praised Marv for the quality of his workmanship on this wonderful piece of armament.
I know that a lot of members come from countries that allow firearms amongst the general population, and BEFORE it starts to get mentioned on here, I must remind everyone that this is a site based in the UK where firearms and knives are NOT allowed as it is in other countries, and I would like to remind everyone not to mention them or the making or using of such things on here.
Marv's post is fine, but that is about the maximum limits we need to go with it on here. So if you ever make one like Marvs, then show it as Marv has done, but any other weapons, then could you please refrain from showing anything about them.
I am sure that there are other websites that specialise in that sort of thing.
