Do any of you know if someone makes a 28mm Livens Large Gallery Flame Projector? If not, have any of you made one? Thanks! |

Wouldn't be that hard to make. Lots of tubing and bits. The Wiki Page has pics of a mock-up (might be CGI):

Saw the Wiki page Camcleod, thanks. It doesn't look like it would be that hard to make, just wanted to check before trying to make one. Thanks again! |

Bear in mind that the only thing visible above ground was the telescopic hoist and the component that sprayed the flames. Everything else was hidden in a tunnel. The telescopic hoist pushed the flame throwing component through the ground when the Livens was brought into action. Robert |

Yup…was planning on making two versions of it – the part the one would see above ground as well as the whole thing. I'm thinking of using the version of the whole thing as an objective marker; it might be an interesting display piece on the shelf as well. |

Excellent idea. Would love to see the finished article if possible. Happy modelling! Robert |

I'll post when I make it. It's on the back burner for a while…letting the idea simmer. |

On a slow burn… Couldn't resist, especially in a thread about flamethrowers. On a more relevant note, Livens also developed the projectors to propel canisters full of flammable liquid when it was realised that the flamethrower was not really a goer. Robert |
