1/16 Scale Parrot Rifle
« on: January 25, 2007, 05:43:54 AM »
I would like to share some pics of my Parrot Rifle in 1/16 scale.
Part of the carriage is shown, and the interesting aspect of this model is that no glue is used, everything assembles with scale bolts & nuts...
Thanks for your attention
                                     Mario

P.S. I'm preparing very detailed plans for it, I'll post them ASAP.

Hey Ed:
           It's been months now that I began this project.
The wheels are very difficult to do, imagine that there are 52  different parts in each one & they are not finished yet.
As for the wood, I am using Larch, which has a very tiny grain, which suits my scale needs. All the wood parts will be very smooth sanded & then treated with many coats of beeswax, polishing between coats.
I'm now making the cheeks, which are brass banded, and making  a lot of scale bolts & nuts.
I'll be posting the plans along with more pics.

Best regards
                       Mario

Hey Mario;

Nice looking start indeed. I admire your wheel work, not any easy thing to do.
