Hello,
it is always a pleasure to get nice comments
Thanks for that!
It goes on with the production of hammock cranes.
The last picture shows a test position of the holders.

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.
This detail must now be implemented in the model.
Here are the corresponding images:

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,
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,
today I show you the carronade with a served rope.
The protection of the breeching was made of a coated paper handkerchief.
It has a tarred look.

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.

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.

Hello model builders,
the manufacture and assembly of the gunports lid is nearing completion.
The last two lids must still be mounted.

Hello,

That makes me happy.
Here is a little update:

Thanks all!
Meanwhile, all gunports lids were fitted into the ports.
Only the last pair is still to be finished. They are for the gun port in the bow on the port side.
This gun port is a special case, because of the rounding of the bow.
The fit of this cover halves at this place requires special attention.
This couple also receives a dropfront as a protection against the armature.

Hello,
I wish you all a happy new year.
And here it goes further with the current preparation of the strap hinges.
First, the bands (1.6 / 0.4 mm) were cut from sheet brass. Then the bushings were cut from a brass round tube.
