Thread: Let’s see ya gunboat setups

Actually... funny you should post this now. I've been working on this one for a while now. I came across the design when I was guiding a party of English Royalty on a Swan hunt off the Coast of Cornwall.

I hand milled all the timber, and built the boat from scratch in the shed at my bach. Then built the gun out of some hardened steel blasting pipe I got from a mate from my days mining in the outback. Made the flintlock mechanism out of some flint I collected during my time doing close protection work for some people in Sussex, UK. Shit it was hard work, but against all odds, I managed to get it done. Testing has gone pretty well, a little hard on the shoulder, but good patterning.

Hoping to give it it's first outing on the upper reaches of the Clarence, after towing it up with one of my jetboats.

I'll let you know how it goes!
