Cut the tiny 45 degree front angles and carefully trim the rounded back area. Sand the sides to make them
even with the bottom of the round edge. Here are two halves of a gun ready to be glued together.
Sand on the sanding block.
Rotate it frequently to keep the base of the gun square and even on all sides
.
Sand just until the rounded bottom is gone as shown on the right photo, “after” on left and “before” on right.
Cut a gun base from the strip. Trim it a little at a time to remove edge scrap.
Turn it over
and trim as shown.
Now trimmed just outside of the raised rounded area, mark the outer edge of that raised area with a pencil. Trim
to the mark with scissors.
Laying the upper blade flat against the side of the cannon, trim each side until it looks like this.
