How I spent my weekend...kind of
« on: January 21, 2018, 07:37:45 PM »
I pulled a bunch of disparate relics together to make this display inspired by the work of some old timers and also a display Woodenhead had shown a couple months back.

I would call that a weekend well spent.

Looks great. How about a close up on the amputation saw?

I am realizing how low res this is at the limits of the website, but here is the area I think you are talking about Dave.  Looks like the frag has shifted as these things do, but I can tweak it later.

What happened to that artillery gauge that went with the rest of that stuff?

You mean the tangent sight?  Its in a different display.  You should recognize the blown seacoast drive in fuse in this display -- it came from you.   Similarly, the lance head came from Carl and the Selma friction primer from Bill here.  There are probably other pieces that tie back to forumites.
