The above statue thing is a bit shit, this one works better.

Anyway thought I'd test it on a 2511 exhaust cover. It didnt like a white background so found a pic of a dirty used one off ebay.

 

 

Very unlikely it will be correct but Im printing it anyway. I can then scale and adjust to fit.

 

Edit, the result

The size is quite far off, 20% and more in depth.

I'll try again using a video instead of single image, maybe something simpler.

The launcher tube currently looks like that but I havent glued the sections yet.

 

Made a lead filled throw weight for it. TPU so its flexible, its not going to shatter. Only had black or white, so used both.

Not as heavy as I wanted. I'll adjust the size to get more lead in and print a few more.

First time making lead shot, should have done it before I started it printing!
