Hello Dear Friends,

thank you very much for your comments, I appreciate them a lot.

The bow section of the French corvette was completed.

Here you can see the bow, with the now mounted equipment parts.

You can see also the figurehead in some pics.

The small seawater pump on the bow was, among other things for the hygiene of the crew on board.

See the LINK.

Hello Dear Friends,
 
the main armament of the la creole consisted of 20 30-pounder carronades.
First I made ​​a prototype, gonna learn how to make all the parts I need.
The production of the prototype can be seen in the following images.
I hope that you enjoy it.
Soon I will show you more pictures of the finished Carronade.

Johann,

 

Absolutely amazing and beautifully done.  Are you making the nuts and bolts?  They look to be threaded.

Hello,

here I show the continuation of the production of Caronades.
The supports for the gun barrels are made ​​of brass precision casting.
I have the Carronade only temporarily installed to see whether the parts fit.
Later, the brass parts are still blackened.
