I've been playing with the camera too.

Thanks guys . Haven't done many sectioned stuff .this one had a rust pitted section that ruined the rest of the projectile .so I cut that piece out and then decided to do the rest .had a go at cutting a mills ..I think that was the most fun to do .



Cheers.
Darrol.

Gosh - that is one hell of a cutaway. Never seen a Mills lever unsupported on one side. Brave stuff!

I used a old collapse mills spring which I heated further so it was fully compressed in position so it didn't spring back, with modern glues industrial type carefully glued in place, that strong it will take a he'll of a lot of force to move. Thinking about doing some S mines I have up for grabs on quick fire if they don't sell.
