1/4 scale Napoleon

I have decided to tackle more of these. I'm doing three at the same time. The amount of labor in three of them is considerable. The iron work is by far the hardest.
These first pictures are of what I have done in the past.

These next pictures are where I stand with the next three. The wood work is finished and I'm currently working on the endless iron work.

Outstanding workmanship!

Well, your going to be busy for a while. That's a ton of work. But you will be real pleased when finished. Good luck.

Awesome!

 

[zulu]

A little progress.

 

[Pirate's Son]

Beautiful! You are truly a Master Craftsman.
One question, how does it shoot? After all, making smoke with accompanying loud noises is what this forum is all about!

 

[Keyhole]

Stunning work sir! I’d be proud to own one of those

 

[Dude]

Very cool!

Here is one shooting a blank load.

Moving along on these. It's quite a bit of pretty tedious effort.

Very nice.

Awesome! You’re going to have a little gun battery there (“Zulu’s Battery”).
Great video also! What was the secondary explosion sound after the gun fired?

Just an echo

They are absolutely wonderful! Now you need caissons and miniature ponies.

Moving right along.

Very highest quality! A hundred years from now they will still be treasured! Be sure to mark for I.D. in the future! You are extremely talented!

 

[TDM]

Awesome, just awesome!

Moving right along. All the parts are made. There is a lot of them. I disassembled everything.
Now the iron work has to be fine tuned and cleaned up and painted. The wood is ready for final sanding. Then stain.
I am so happy to finally get to this point!

 

[TDM]

Wow! That’s a lot of parts. Looks great.

 

[Dude]

That's a monumental project! I can see why you're happy to be on the finishing stages of this project.
