Second Flintlock
« on: May 03, 2017, 05:25:28 PM »
Thank you for a warm welcome. I was a painter for 46 years but now I enjoy my pension. I made my second Kentucky long rifle with a double trigger. I made everything by hand.











On this picture you can see what I mean with made by hand, only these pictures are of a later rifle.

Very fine and intricate work Adrie!  I have great respect for all the work involved in miniatures!

Your 3rd example looks to be a swivel breech double rifle.  Far out fantastic!

Thank you for sharing your fine skills with us and a great big WELCOME to you here on the ALR forums!

Wow, you've got the biggest hands I've ever seen!
Seriously, when I looked at the first picture I thought it was a full sized rifle.
Beautiful, intricate work! Thanks for sharing!
