Thread: Hotchkiss Cannon Replica

Is this a black powder deal, or are you using the modern stuff?

.12ga with 3.5" chamber would be interesting....options galore then,from shot,buck or ball plus option to feed it a belly full of black powder with minimal payload for extra effect....

I prefer blackpowder, more in keeping with the original.
So far I've only run trailboss, but have brass for the 410, which I'll run with a respectable blackpowder load. The bigger ones will just be blackpowder.

Looks great
Good work

You need to get some model men and trees and make it look full size

It might just be easier to make it full size, that way you wouldn't have to faff around making plastic trees or painting tiny models.

what a great alarm clock .6am BANG the whole neighbourhood could start the day too and save money on buying their own alarms . boy racer hoodlum control is another which springs to mind!

I did try using a small human instead, his inability to follow orders will probably lead to a court martial, and he was always spitting the dummy, I think model men might be more suitable.

@Micky Duck you need one

What??? Another small human???? Your barking up wrong tree there mate,both the Mrs n I have been off to vets n been hit with shovel.
