Looks like I'll be cutting this one AWFULLY CLOSE. I'm still in but will literally submit my pictures in the final hours (fingers crossed - but dont be surprised if I DONT make it). Sorry guys.

I really wished I had time for this contest. With summer here and having an eight year old on weekends, it's hard to find time to work on customs.
I hope there will be more contests this Fall or Winter. I really wanted to enter this one.
Kevin.

There will be another contest this winter or early next year Kevin. Good work on all the projects guys. I am very impressed with the quality and originality of your work. We can only hope to see some of this cool stuff in production someday. I am currently in Dallas and will be coming home Forth of July weekend. You will have the winner anounced by the deadline.
Good luck to all and thank you for participating in this contest.

This is NOT a contest entry - unless Kamikaze will count a restoration of an artillery piece as opposed to its actual construction. However, given all the pictures of other great custom cannons, I thought I'd share what I have displayed on my shelf


Its an antique cannon and has full elevation and traverse via several working hand cranks. The breach block opens, but is attached to a spring so that it can "fire" toothpicks or other small projectiles. Although I have Germans placed around it, the gun actually replicates a British AA gun, I believe. Enjoy

Here is my custom. A remote-controlled Hummel.

The base comes of a 21st Century Panzer IV. All of the remote control components were reused for the Hummel. The original remote turret gear box was modified and rotated 90 degrees in order to raise and lower the 150MM custom artillery.

The entire housing was made from scratch and detailed.

As well, I weathered the Hummel (see the construction link for details on the Hummel)

The mounting as well was made from scratch.

This project took a lot of hours on researching, detailing and manufacturing the Hummel. I will upload the video of the Hummel in action as well as the movement of the gun tomorrow.
