newbuilder101 got a reaction from DORIS in San Felipe by newbuilder101 (Sherry) – Scale 1:96 July 8, 2015

Thank-you everyone for all the comments!

Well, an update is long overdue - I almost feel I should introduce myself again!

I struggled in the summer with which route to take for my cannons. I tried making molds and casting with resin with only limited success. The summer flew by and winter appeared and casting became a problem due to mess and allergies, or at least some reaction to the fumes. Ideally working outside is the best option, but at -20 degrees Celsius, it's not an option!

I had seen some paper cannons that Doris made and I thought I would give that a try. It would be easier if my scale was larger, but I don't find it too difficult. I know they are not perfect, but I am relatively pleased with the outcome and will continue with this process.

I am currently experimenting with weathering the cannons, so the painted one is not necessarily what the finished product will look like.

Thanks Michael and Augie !
Fortunately I only have to make 36 full cannons - the other 70+ are half/dummy cannons. I'm thinking that my next build will be weaponless!

Hi Sherry

That's a nice technique you've used to build the canons. They look great!
