Deck Guns

I worked to add the six additional deck guns to the Maine. Here's a pic of what the real ones looked like:
The most complicated part of the weapon is the seven legged mount. Combrig supplies this part as photoetch. I cut the part loose on a piece of black ceramic tile that I sue as a cutting board. To bend the part I took a toothpick and rounded off the end with a sanding stick. I then placed the piece onto a soft cloth and pressed the toothpick tip into the center of the part. The legs were bent up by the cloth and the "give" in my finger tip.

I then attached the mount with thick CA to the deck. The guns were painted on their resin pour stub, cut loose and then mounted with thick CA.
