How much ? Im always a bit rubbish at prices.
Just to be clear I mean these.
88 Long ammo types.jpg
Left to right, Brass master, finely hand crafted by my good self (well a lot of swearing, a lathe and a steep learning curve) First cast in raw resin, Cast in Brass powder/resin, and finally polished and painted (you can buff up the cold cast stuff with a bit of Brasso or equivalent).
£2.50 each post inclusive ? I tend to just cast and polish and leave the paint job up to you. Hows that sound

Doc
An 88 shell with cartridge should be about 35 inches long so not up to the shoulder.
See this page for specifications http://www.lonesentry.com/manuals/88mm- ... a-gun.html
