Modifying small screws

[mklotz]

Exquisite Model engineering Marv! Incredible craftsmanship and finishes all the way down to the shell! That breach door and firing mechanism is too much for words, let a lone the brass sites...Wow, Holly Cow...and then some! I'll have to check out your website as Paul mentioned!

Your screw holder is very cool too and could use the benefit of it...make a fair amount of dog points and taper points my self.

Thank You for sharing your talents and ideas with us!!! Wow-- ~PJ

It doesn't stand out in the photographs but the dummy shell has a brass tip on the projectile to imitate the typical brass fuses with which these shells were equipped. I Loctited some 1/16" brass rod into the steel before turning the ogive shell profile.
