Organ Gun - in plastic
« on: December 20, 2013, 03:35:06 PM »
Something I cooked up a year ago, but never posted here.

Leonardo of Miragliano's Ribauldequin, together with a new and improved Bronzino's Galloper Gun:



The Ribauldequin is based on Leonardo da Vinci's own design:



And inspired by some real-life efforts:





...and lovingly crafted out of Plastruct styrene sheets, sticks, and tubes (with a figure for scale):





Now I just need to paint these bad boys, put them on scenic bases and come up with a suitably dashing crew!

These models looks better than several commercially available kits.

You are VERY talented.

I can't wait to see them painted.

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

These are awesome! I seriously thought those were prduction models when I looked at them, I like the smaller non-organ gun especially. Any chance of a how-to guide? ;)
