Drawings for Mousy
These are some drawings I did for my friend Mousy in the UK. They are reference to help him build his own 28mm scale sawmill.

gatling gun is coming along
The gatling is almost done. Need to prime and paint it. I chose a model 1865 1-inch caliber because it was mounted on a regular artillery carriage and only had six barrels. The chamber casing is longer than an actual gatling; this is so because I created the casing by sawing a 12-pound Napolean gun barrel at the mountings. I could have sawed it shorter and created new mountings, but I wanted to get the gun finished. The barrels also are longer, but I did this simply to make the gun more imposing in the game for which it was built.

Rotating death!
Having forrayed into the world of 40mm old west figures, I wanted a gtaling gun, but no one makes one. So I bought a civil war gun carriage from Sash and Saber and have embarked on scratch-building my own gatling. I opted for the early 1862 1-inch caliber model: It was mounted on a regular gun carriage and only has six barrels (giving me a chance at this challenging project.)

Assay office
This here is my assay office (not yet with painted signage.) It took about 9 hours to complete. The interior has yet to be furnished (with a counter, desk, stove, chairs, shelving and assay equipment and chemicals. The building and boardwalk also will be based for strength.
