I would suggest using the window on the side as a guide rather than the door. I think the door is regular height, but narrow.

If the real cars have them painted, I vote for that.

Here is a drawing, better showing the positioning of the transom on the axletree.

At least on Chesapeake Bay boats the Trailboard was in two pieces, as one piece was mounted on the hull and the other then angled out from it to the bowsprit. The joint was angled so the board met seamlessly between the two parts. This also accounts for the upward curve of this section. As a side note typically the only blue on a boat in this area was on the trailboard, as a background to the stars and name, representing the blue background on the US flag. It was otherwise concidered bad luk to paint any part of the boat blue.

Here are the files for the 9 Pounder Carronade with trunions carriage for the individual parts. They need the same fabricated parts as in the previous post. Install the eyelet with the ring onto the cheek, before building the carriage, otherwise you could break the assembled cheek. Holes for the rest of the eyelets should be drilled for depth, and or diameter after the carriage parts are built. Install the eyelets before adding the trucks and hoops. The transom is installed with its lower back edge even with the upper back edge of the front axletree, and the "nose" overhanging the axletree at the front. Cheek A Cheek B Front axletree hoop (holds the truck/wheel on). Front Axletree. The hole for the horizontal eyelet goes toward the front. Front truck/wheel Quion Rear Axletree Hoop Rear Axletree. The hole for the horizontal eyelet goes toward the rear. Shelf stool, the semicircular grove fits over the cross brace bolt shaft. Transom. Angles backward. Cap-Squares They are mirror images of each other, and only fit in place over the trunions correctly on their respective sides. They should run lengthwise, even with the top of the cheeks with the cannon mounted. STL files (Zipped) STL Files.zip

One more set of files. Several months ago I posted a file for a 9 Pounder Carronade with trunnions. Here is a file for the associated carriage that was on the drawing. This file has the carriage body as one piece with the shelf, quoin, and trucks (wheels with the locking band as separate parts. In a few days I will be posting a set of files with all the parts as separate pieces. You have to make the eyelets and rings yourself, as well as add a piece of wire for the cross brace bolt. Here is a picture of the Carranade barrel and the file for it. The trunnions have been drawn over long, and should be trimmed to length, during the fitting to the carriage. Cannonade 9 Pounder with Extended Trunnions Full Size_1174_62mm.stl Here are the general arraignment graphics for the assembled carriage, with the various rings and eyelets labeled. Here is a dimensioned drawing of the rings and eyelets. Note: the "B" eyelet is now a part of the caps, and do not have to be formed. You will have to put in a wire between the two holes on the inside of the carriage sides, for the cross brace. This rod also supports one end of the shelf. This rod is shown in the bottom view graphic (above). This is the drawing of the carriage parts. This is the file. 9 Pounder Carronade Single Piece Carriage_Full Size_1235_87mm.stl

You can buy a CD player that plugs into a USB port on your computer.

The new files are now in the NRG resources section.

On Youtube Barbatos Rex has many videos on various metallic paints.

I forgot that I have already posted the HMS Tyger cannon files. Both the Commonwealth and HMS Tyger files have been sent to the NRG, and should be in the Resource section in a little while.

I will shortly be adding the guns for HMS Tiger circa 1680. I have to finish creating the graphics.
