Hallo,
thanks for the nice comments.
Currently, the brass parts of the carronades are burnished.
Here is a photo of a carronade with all parts before assembly.

Hello,
the straightening rod from the carronade was secured with a chain.
For this I used a ready-made micro chain of copper wire 0.20 mm.
The ring bolts are made from brass wire 0.25 mm.
Here are some pictures that show these chains.

Hello Dear Friends,
gun locks were also used to fire the carronades.
The rifle lock was fastened with a thumb screw.
Later percussion locks came into use.
The next picture shows one of the 1849.
The production of the carronades of La Creole continues steadily.
Here is a short update:

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.

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.
