[StartQuote] Here are some updated photos of my 1/48 scale project. I added the 47mm Hotchkiss and anchor. The gun was fun to build and adds a wicked steam punk look to the sea sled. Used my laser to cut laserboard and basswood and filed down aluminum tubing to maker the barrel and some brass rod for one of the handles. Been trying to figure out how the ready ammo was stored on a bouncing boat. The Russians stored their small 47mm ammo boxes within the gun mount stand just stacked on the deck of their larger vessels. Even though it's not completely done, I've decided to bring the model to display at Mystic Seaport this coming weekend ( the Annual Wooden Boat Show). Sea Sleds were built in Mystic during the 20s and 30s and the seaport has four small sea sleds in their collection (three 13' and one 16'). The 16' is cool to see since it has the beveled-stepped chine (built in the mid 20s).
