Pat's 40mm from Shapeways
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=4054
I teased a 40mm Bofors mount in a previous thread about the 1:16 scale model I'm constructing... lost the thread, dagnabbit... but I've been asked a few times if I'll make the mount available in other scales.
The answer, finally, is yes. Now available at Shapeways with complete instructions, in 1:16, 1:20, and 1:24 scales:

Sorry about the expense, it uses a lot of expensive Shapeways resin.
Actual 1:16 model shown below.

Very nice Pat, I know several of us have been waiting for this. Now all the weapons are available for my 495 build.

It really came out great Pat. Thanks for sharing your work. It's a lot of fun to see those CAD drawings come to life.
