bazer Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Hi guys finished latest scratchbuilt railgun , Saint Chamond built eight of these very large calibre 400 mm howitzers fielded in the summer of 1916 they were very effective.

Toryu Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 This is a most amazing scratch-build surrounded by a very realistic busyness. These rail guns are impressive. I wonder where you get the original detail from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve sorry for delay I have a few books on railguns with two having line drawing also found some original plans on line but most are built from photos sourced on line.
