Results of the previous round
To begin with I checked what I had accomplished the last time. The carriage rotated neatly on its turntable, which was pretty cool. From the rear end I saw that the ground plate had ended slightly tilted, which in this case meant that if I was ever going to make some display terrain for it, the butt of the cannon had to be on a slight slope.
A barrel in three stages
One of the key components of the atomic cannon, the barrel, consisted of a number of sections. I took this photo below when I had gotten the three first bits done and squeezed them tight with tape. Especially the middle tube wanted to split apart like an overripe banana.
I had glued the two narrower components together and was about to proceed to the next step in the instructions, when I tipped my glue over. The remaining session time I spent on cleaning up.
That was a shame, for I had gotten to a pretty good pace, quickly.
