Title: VSF Verne Inspired Moon Cannon
Post by: Captain Darling on December 17, 2017, 09:25:05 AM

Hi All,

I heaven't done much VSF scratch building recently, been busy with other projects plus I have so much stuff I'm not sure how much more I really need!

Anyway a bullet shaped thermos I bought for part of my brother's Christmas present inspired me to build my own version of a 'Moon Cannon'...

Lots more pictures and some 'VSF historical' blurb here...

Cheers!
