G is for Gatling Gun by Hinchliffe ?

And before you say anything....I know..., it's the patented Owen-Gatling! I was thirteen when I made this, I think it's a Hinchliffe 'Colonial' Gun on a Hinchliffe Napoleonic RHA carriage, and working from a hazy piece of pen and ink artwork in World of Wonder magazine I thought the right thing to do was cut the magazine down!!!!

The crew were converted from three Atlantic Gold Diggers and a Giant cowboy, basically I just cut their stetsons into kepi's and gave them a matching colour scheme, based them on plasticard with Humbrol filler and a bit of flock and placed them front centre in the line!

A close up of the gun, a blob of Araldite two-part epoxy keeps the wheels on yet moving, and a few splashes of gold make the whole thing look more workman-like...well it does when you are thirteen!!
