Have had a couple people ask if I could produce some Russian 125mm propellant containers, turns out that they use empty ones, full of concrete or rubble as additional protection. Turned a couple tubes this morning (green tubes in the last photo), and tried adding a handle (may have to redo them though), also planning some that look a bit hollow, that can be laid on the ground, after 're arming' Ammo will be suitable for T-91 Twardy, T-64, T-72, T-80 & T-90    |

As I saw that first picture, I thought you was doing something for the Hell Cannon  . After reading I realized what they are, they look good and something very useful for dioramas  |

Cheers mate, top photo has sprue/ rod still on. I cast a rod of resin and turn it at slow speed, it works very well, as long as the heat doesn't build up too much

Re made versions, including a few I cast off 'just in case' I screw up the tiny handle, which needs to fit within the 'U' channel on the lid (its about 0.5mm wide and the same in depth... The ones on the left still have the casting sprues on.  |
