Samuel Parent
Winona, Minnesota
Known for his wooden ship models, Sam has other modeling interests, too, like this American Civil War Napoleon cannon. A 1/16 scale replica from the Model Expo Guns of History line, he scratchbuilt the “worm” tool and wheel chocks. The wheel rims are hobby crepe tape. He painted the ironwork Vallejo Black and applied Danish oil on the walnut carriage and wheels. Sam made the base from stained oak and decoupaged a map of the artillery battery emplacements at Gettysburg to the top.
