William Carls is building a scale model Gatling gun. He has pics of it on Fine Scale Modeler forums and it looks great. It's a 1/16th scale model 1866 1 inch Gatling gun and mostly scratch built, with some pieces (the wheels) from a kit. We here at Old British Guns just love Gatling guns but don't know how this guy has the patience for this stuff. It would be a great addition to any shelf.
