Very nice! The USS Tunny conversion is tempting.

Thanks!

Some new offerings, 1/150 scale Civil War era naval "big guns." Have no idea if there's a market for these, but I took my 1/192 cannon and scaled them up slightly:

New item, a complete kit (my first) of the Norwegian Ula class diesel submarine (also a first, not aware of the Ula ever being done as a model), in 1/350 scale.

Also, some items I'm working on:

1/192 scale Armstrong 100-ton Rifled Muzzle Loader (largest muzzleloader ever fielded) I should have a test print underway soon (purchased an Anycubic Photon for prototyping).

1/192 Rodman 15" Smooth Bore Muzzle Loader

All the 1/192 artillery will be offered in 1/150 as well. On the docket, eventually, will also be some Confederate Brooke Rifled Muzzle Loaders (7" and 6.4").

Suggestion; to do the old tiny Pyrene brass, T-handled fire extinguisher, (about 11" tall) do it in copper or brass in 1/35th. Every WWII US military vehicle should have one bracketed to the firewall.

Others have told me the T-handle is too small to print but that was in resin. Now that Shapeways offers brass and copper perhaps it is now possible. (Or just make the handle oversized.

Also the large 150 lbs. flightline soda fire extinguisher. (A huge riveted tank with hose usually rolling on what look like large wagon wheels, sometimes with rubber tires on the wagon wheels.) You pull the whole thing near the fire and then flip the tank upside down to activate the soda.

The old fashioned brass or copper soda or dry chemical fire extinguishers (about 30" tall) that used to hang on the walls of aircraft hangers and motor pools everywhere in the 40's and 50's. The ground crews might bring one out to sit on the flightline near an aircraft or tank during an engine start.

(Sorry - You mentioned fire extinguishers and that happens to be a hot button for me!)

Large facility (pull behind) soda fire extinguishers.

Churchill Downs had these all over the place when I was growing up. (1950's) Back when the club house was all wood and not the all metal monstrosity it is today. Factories, airports, aircraft hangers, ship yards, motor pools would all have them parked all over the place - in a corner or out on the flightline.

Sorry best (and only) historical photos I could find:

.

Pyrene extinguishers - - Vehicle mount; 11-14 inches tall.
I think you would shake them and then pump by hand like a flit gun. I know, I know - nobody knows what a flit gun is.
(Also carried in US military aircraft.)

Soda extinguisher - - Usually pole or wall mounted; brass or copper 30-32 inches tall.
Turn upside down to mix soda with water to activate.


Chemical extinguisher - - painted metal canister; 26 to 30 inches tall; pole or wall mount.
(Sometimes carried to the flightline in groups of 10-12, pulled by hand in a specially built little red wagon.)
Ready to go, simply open nozzle valve to operate.
