I'll bring it around once done and painted. Maybe today...but very soon.

I'll bring it around once done and painted. Maybe today...but very soon.
So, here's the final projectile I produced...35mm X 228mm Bushmaster or Orlikon. I was attending a power projection in about '95 and my brother was there too. He was Arty and when I said I'd like one of those new rounds for their AA gun he trotted over and brought back two cases. Well, I wanted complete rounds...
OK so it took me 25 years and endless searching to find out what it was and what the projectile looked like. Unfortunately, I didn't really copy the projectile that closely. Also I painted it training blue to avoid a repeat of what happened in the UK back in about '10. All I need is someone suggesting I have a Depleted Uranium projectile in here...
I clustered them together for Cinders...center is the newest 35mm with green case and blue projectile. I took a pic with flash and one without.
Very nice Jim I must say:thup: the flash makes the green cased one look like an art/deco piece very tidy set there bloke not much of the mid range in the 30-40mm (except the Bofor they are usually around $120-$140 AU) stuff comes up here and if it does commands a hefty tag.
Well, the projectiles for the Aden are available out of the UK because their helicopters use that I guess... The 35's don't ever surface that I've seen. Nor do the Aden's...I grabbed one when w local curio guy had a dozen come in. They're all long gone too. I do have smaller and bigger stuff too. I still have to make a projectile for a 105mm WW1 German shell. I need to find out what it looks like though. I'll do that out of pine I think. I have a Bofors and a 6PDR. I have one spare 35mm case too if you ever get needing one...no projectile...
