This is the World War 1 wooden automata model made by my dad.
It took him about 2 months and a lot of patience to build, especially when you consider the ammunition belt for the machine gunner alone contains 120 handmade bullets.
There's very little friction when you turn the handle, itself a large calibre bullet with the gunpowder removed.
He wants to make another one, so if anyone has any thoughts on what the theme could be please let me know.

Another impressive piece of work.
How about a coin mint for the next one. We could do with another one in the Country at the moment!
Thanks Keith.
