I know it's been a while since I posted a new project, that's because I've mostly been building things that are similar to projects I've already posted so there was no sense in reposting the same stuff. Finally though I have a new project to post.

This is a semi-close reproduction of a 16 Bore Over/Under D. Egg Howdah Pistol.












If you'd like to see how it was made please watch the vidoe below.

Thanks for looking.

This from an exhibit at the Royal Armouries, Leeds, England: That's when the Howdah pistol may come in useful.



Worth a day out if in that part of England. This is on the floor dedicated to hunting. Lagopus.....

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Now that's some taxidermy. The hunter and guide look so lifelike... Here's a clip that's been posted a few years featuring a tiger attacking an elephant and riders in India:

There is another on the floor below of an elephant wearing elephant armour. A sort of medieval tank. Lagopus.....
