Scratch building a 1:72 scale mortar
Posted by tbloyer on Saturday, July 5, 2008 6:59 PM
I was wondering if anyone one has ever made one and if they could give me a few tips on how to do it? I want to put one on my pt-boat.
Thanks

Some appropriate diameter aluminum or brass tubing. Is it going to be lashed down with rope or mounted? You might find a mortar included with a figures set...US Army or US Marines...you are talking relatively small in 1:72.

Ok thanks. Well i was doing my model off of my great grandpa's pt boat and in one of the pictures it looks like the mortar is just bolted to the deck but its hard to tell since the picture is so old. I might check into buying a figure set since that might be easy to work with,
