More shots of the replacement WHALE shroud:
The holes for the vane mounting pegs almost look like they are a degree or two off (or really, the bottom mounting hook is a degree or two off) but then again when I look at the original part I see that the holes aren't really properly aligned on those either. Further tweaking might be needed but I don't have enough info yet to know for sure.

It's time to share photos of the test print of the cannon. The carriage body is still a draft but I wanted to get this thing into physical form to check the scaling against 1:18 figures and to determine how much fine detail I can get and how much I need to scale up the thin parts (like the trail handles and the prolonge hooks) for the final version.

That cannon is fantastic. I think I like it even more than the wagon.

Thanks! It's a 12-pounder Napoleon gun (used extensively during the Civil War and lingering into the post-Civil-War Indian Wars). The barrel is modeled on some plans I found online that aren't totally complete/correct but they're the best I can find without paying for anything. The field carriage, on the other hand, is modeled from government-commissioned plans with meticulous measurement details. So that sucker is about as dead-on accurate as possible. I still have a TON of ironwork to model and add to the carriage body but when it's done it's going to be magnificent.

I have some friends and family who did reenactment, so I've had the opportunity to see the real ones up close. This will definitely be a beautiful piece when it's detailed out. And that Gatling gun I saw in the other thread will be the perfect accompaniment if you decide to make it as well.

Another pic-heavy post, but I think it's worth it.
I give you..... The Lost City of Tanis! (eBay item number 312878688131) I based the scale off of reference photos (stills from multiple angles directly from the movie) and based on the height of the temple around the Well of Souls compared to Harrison Ford's knee in the movie. All other building sizes were approximated based on relative size from there.
