La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette


Recommended Posts

Hello,

an error has happened to me.
The la creole also has 4 cannons.
Here the passages of the cannon mouths of the gun-ports lid are smaller as for the carronades.
Then unfortunately I have not been paying attention.
The bore of the gun barrel I have now made ​​too large.
So I have to make this again.

Johann,

 

It is somehow re-assuring to know that even a master craftsman like yourself makes an occasional mistake! :) Thanks for sharing this with us.

Hola, un error ha ocurrido a mí. El la criolla también tiene 4 cañones. Aquí los pasajes de las bocas de cañón de la tapa portas son más pequeñas que para las carronadas. Entonces, lamentablemente no he estado prestando atención. El orificio de la cañón de la pistola ya he hecho demasiado grande. Así que tengo que hacer esto de nuevo.

Hello,

 

for the time I am working on a section model in 1:48 scale.
This model is used to try out different details.
In addition to stowing the hammocks and the rigging of the carronades is to be examined in more detail.

Fantastic detail addition Johann. I love your "test bed" approach using the section model, which is proving to be a work of art in itself.

It looks fantastic, Johann.  The metal work and details make it very life-like.  The only thing I can see that doesn't look right is the breeching rope.  It doesn't look long enough for the gun to recoil back for reloading.

Hello Mark,

unfortunately my English is not so good.
But I try to explain to you:
It is correct that way.
The breeching rope is long enough. In this type carronade from the year 1830, the recoil was limited with a strong rope. This is called non-recoil-principle.

The operator had to go through the gun port to load the carronade from the outside.
I hope I have expressed myself correctly.

Hello,

 

I treat today making the shot garlands.
A total of 140 cannonballs were stowed on the La Creole.
Of these, 122 for the carronades and 18 for the cannon.
As cannonballs I use balls of ball bearings
These balls were burnished.

Hello Karl,

 

thanks for your nice comment.

 

It continues with the production of hammocks cranes.
The sheet brass is 0.2 mm thick. The required strips of 1 mm width I sawed with a circular saw. By bonding the sheet to a plywood underlay you get very precise strips.
The bending of the eyelets I made with a prepared plier.
38 holders are to be made.

Hello dear friends,

thank you for your kind words and support, that means a lot for me.
During the weekend, I continued making the hammock cranes.
There are 152 holes with a diameter of 0,5 mm is required.

The eyelets I made out of a U-piece brass wire. These are inserted and soldered in two holes.

Here are some pics, so you can enjoy them.

Hello friends,
today I will show you how to attach the upper gunports cover with hook and eyelet.
For this detail I have researched long. I hope this is the correct version.

The difficulty was to bend the small hook with eyelet from 0.3 mm brass wire.

Here are the corresponding images:

This detail must now be implemented in the model.

Amazing work Johann! 

 

The scale figure next to the carronade is a great image, and gives a really good idea of the relative size of the battle station in a way not often seen in models!
