I wish to attempt to make a Soviet 100mm barrel in 1/48. I have no access to a lathe. What is the best material for making a barrel from scratch? I have a Jordi Rubio 100mm barrel in 1/35. I can trace the outline of the barrel on paper,and use scale rulers to get the measurment.
The taper part of the barrel may be the hardest part for me. This 100mm gun,I am adding to an IS-2 Stalin tank. That was armed with a 122mm. The tapered portion of the 122mm barrel ,I may be able to use that,then add either a plastic or metal piece of tube for the 100mm portion.
Any ideas on how to cut off the 122 barrel portion off the tapered part exactly straight?
