Master and Castings
Fortunately, the 17cm Kasematten are not very complicated; but I needed 14 of them. So, naturally I made one perfect master and cast all 14. There was quite a bit of filing and sanding to clean them up, but it was worth the effort.

Drilling the hole for the Geschützerohr
I left the back half of the master flat, as I had still not received the barrel master from Germany. This allowed me to cast them all as I was eager to see how they would turn out. Once I had the barrels made, I drilled a hole into this flat surface to accept the barrels.

17cm Geschützerohr
