Here is my compleated 4in. GF Mk XIX in CP Mk XXIII mounting. Will still have to paint the correct colour on shield and weather the gun which will be applied in final painting. On to the next fitting.

Hi all,
 I got part way through building the 2 pdr gun and it just did not look right even with the drawings that state a scale I am using. So after taking measurments I find the gun was too small.
So into my scrap pile. Here are a couple of photos of the new build so far.

Yet again it does seem a shame to cover all that beautiful brass work with paint.

Hi Martin,
 The reason he did not seem impressed is that he wants to clime on the boat and I keep putting him down.

Hi again,
 I have been busy for a few days but I did get a bit of time on the build. I just have to finish off some more detail and build the ammo box. What I did do was order some photo etched gun sights. Here are the latest photos.
