James Green
Rural Hall, North Carolina
James took the barrel from a Mantua 1/17 scale French naval cannon kit and decided to scratchbuild everything else, from the deck and ship side to the gun carriage and barrel. He left most of the wood natural, using just a light stain, and painted stanchions, the rail, and select parts of the base black. There are more than 27 feet of wood strip in James’ model, and 530 tree nails.
