    That's a very small scale! The only thing I can think of is to print them vertically with the barrels farthest from the build plate, and the widest part toward the bottom. There is not enough of the smaller guns to tell me what they are supposed to look like. Also have him cut back on the cure time, long cure times can warp thin parts. Playing with the exposure times might help.

    Most of what I see seems to stem from a insufficient number of supports. Here is an example of one of my typical cannons with supports, in 1/24th scale. What scale are your prints in?

    I'll be following! Great research.

    On Ebay, you can save a search, and they will send you an Email when the subject is listed. I wanted a certain model of a railroad station, that had a limited run. It took a couple of years but a kit was finally listed. I paid too much for it, but not an unreasonable amount.

    They may be "small" mountains now, but when they were formed 400 million years ago, they were taller than the Himalayas!

    The siding looks great, don';t hide it under paint! By the way say "Hi" to your neighbor for me!
  22. thibaultron
    Yes, thank you for all you do for us!

    The STL files for the Brown Pattern Canons are available on the NRG web site.

    Chuck's 2mm blocks look great.

    The NRG has a collection of 3D STL files of various cannon types and sizes, that can be used for 3D printing.

    Carronade Files Note: that they were Zipped using PeaZip, some other unzip programs give strange file extensions when used to unzipp the files. Carronade 1796-1815 Graphics.zip Carronade 1796-1815.zip Length Chart Of Full Sized and Scaled Cannons_002 with Carronades.xlsx

    After I sent the files to the NRG, which they have added to the Resource section, I drew a set of Carronades. They have the files, but have not yet had a chance to add them. So, I'm adding them to the thread, in case someone needs them now. I'm also adding a new spreadsheet that has these added to the data. Here is a graphic of the 42 Pounder. The set includes 12, 18, 24, 32, and 42 Pounders. The STL files include a separate leveling screw. This allows you to adjust the cannon angle. The screws are over-long. They should be cut so a couple of inches sticks out when the cannon is horizontal on the carriage/slide. The screw top should be rounded. This graphic shows a drawing of a similar type, with the length of the screw depicted. Here is a photo of similar cannon. If you look at the right hand edge, you can just see the rounded top of the screw. The next posts will be the files.

    Thankfully, in the 4 years of drafting I took (3 in middle school, one in college), I never had to do any of the drawings in ink!

    After reading the NRG link, I see one error. This project would have never been possible without Allan Yedlinsky! He came up with the idea and supplied the original 2D drawings that were the basis of the final 3D drawings. He encouraged me, as the project continued, and acted as a sounding board and reference as I found additional historic details to add to and modify the details. This would never have been possible without his input, and help!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
