OK, I put the 37mm Mark4 cannon up on Shapeways:
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/patmat?section=PT+Boat+Parts&s=12#more-products

> Cannon only at this time, too many home made pedestals for me to pick one.
> 1:16, 1:20, & 1:24 scales
> Full set of HE shells
> Barrel is printed, but could be replaced with brass tube- it's straight in this version of the cannon.

I also put up a shell set in investment cast bra$s... the as-cast finish requires polishing. But the cannon set comes with a set of plastic shells.

I haven't made one for myself yet, will post pics once I do.

I finally got around to assembling my 1:24 sample of the early 37mm.

- No pedestal
- No attempt to smooth out 3D print lines here... can be done, but this shows the as-received condition.

Plastic barrels tend to warp, but can be replaced with brass tube (1/8 for 1:24, 5/32 for 1:20).

At my Shapeways shop in 1:24, 1:20, & 1:16 scales.

Pat,
There are a lot of us out here that are very interested in multiple copies of the gun in 1/35. Please consider doing some things for the rest of us that aren't building in the larger scales.
