Completed RHA Gun and Crew 1815

Thanks for that Stuart very enlightening and interesting. Watching the videos the touch hole smoke seems to be blasted out of the way once the powder in the barrel is ignited. Not sure how it would stand up but a longer more wispy bit of cotton wool would look about right.

Thanks Simon,
That's the issue, it's a bit of an Indian Rope trick, getting the "smoke" wispy enough to look right won't stand up, but so thick that it's stands up don't look right. I'm going to try some alternative methods.

Good luck it will be interesting seeing how you crack this one.

I suggest a very thin copper wire inside the cotton wool,

That is incredibly clever, thanks so much for sharing how you did it.

After a bit of a break for other things I've finally finished this one. If you'll pardon the pun it's been a blast. I loved working out the gun effect and the great feedback as I went along. As ever all I see now are my errors and shortcomings but I've got to stop now for a family Christmas, so I'll file it as "done".
Thanks all, Stuart

 

[Briggsy]

Wow that is brilliant, the smoke and light from the barrel is brilliant. If you can see errors keep quiet about them because I doubt anyone else will see them! I really love this diorama.

Cheers Simon

 

[Merryweather]

Absolutely wonderful! full of life and action.

 

[NigelR]

I think it's all come together very well, and the way you have animated the firing of the gun makes this an innovative and totally unique piece, well done!

 

[MCPWilk]

Superbly and imaginatively done.
