deck guns

Oh, YES!!!!  Yes!!

How can we do this?

One of the reasons I got so good at scratchbuilding is that I can't afford to buy all the aftermarket stuff.  My SO chastizes me even when I get a kit (hence, I often start from just raw plans and build the whole thing)  Thankfully I still have all the tools I got years ago when I could afford them.  Unfortunately, I never got a metal lathe or I would have made the barrels for the FlaK guns as well.

sneaky!

You dont need the lathe to scratch- build the gun.
Dremel tool is good enough if you really try hard:
20mm
88mm

Hmmmm, I've used a regular construction drill to turn masts before, but never thought to use my dremel for smaller, metal pieces.  I'd just figured that the drill couldn't do it for such fine pieces as a 20mm barrel. 

I'd still be interested in that Schattan 88 from Greif though.

Thanks Wink- even i have to admit it turned out better than i expected. Not bad for the solder virgin-eh?
Im building roof rack for my Opel Olympia now- again, one of these scratch builds, that require lot of soldering tiny parts- so i will show the resuls soon.
