Pics of 14" Naval Railroad Gun model build

Have been in need of a large RR gun for my military consist, but never find one in O gauge/scale. Find them in 1/72 and 1/35...….

So..... found one on a search from between the great wars, pictures and a 1920 drawing to work off of. Worked out the scale from the pics and drawing, transferred to 1:48 and going from there. Just getting the basics, now, and will have a lot of detailing to improvise. Making from .25 in thick MDF for the main frame and structure. Brass tubing for the gun barrel, other items, JB Weld to hold it all together. More to come in time. Hope you find as interesting as I do giving a try, hope to have in my military consist before end of year!!
