Fframes

I have been doing little on the hobby front due to the unexpected hectic nature of the holiday. I have however started these fframe guns ( 17th century Scots for the use of..) out of scrap wood . Last night I glued some tiny beads on the breaches to add detail. Today I will add paper strips to represent iron banding. 
Original fframe guns can be seen in,amongst other places,the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Non firing models I'm afraid but fun on the field of Mars I hope...
