The last one is not correct: when an iron ring increases temperature, both the inside as well as the outside diameter increases.
Is a nice experiment at highschool: copper sfere with a diameter slightly below the inner diameter of an copper ring. Sfere won't go through Heat the ring, and the sfere will fall through.
My guess is a more violent explosion as the powder heats.

But... where are the tackles in the last pic?
He's not fished yet....
Seriously: are you going to redo all the previous installed guns, or is it just illustration of growing knowledge, so that each next batch of gun is better than the previous one?

Try translate.google.com, choose language dutch in the left panel, type sjors (or anja, whatever you like) and hit the listen-button
Works like a charm

amateur got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in Prins Willem by amateur - Corel - 1:100
After a long and busy (and not so model-productive) I've been doing some little knots....
Mainmast finished (apart from some glue and a pair of scissors) on one side, started working on the other side.
Hope I can find the time (and motivation) to do the remainder of the standing rigging before Christmas....
btw on a Dutch forum Arjan68 showed that the scale of this kit is not 1:100 as Corel claims, but should actually be around 1:87. I'm not going to redo my ratlines, but they should be slightly wider apart than I placed them. (as should be the stairs and some other details)

I have a question, not on your fantastic technique, but on the reality of gun-handling....
Quite often, you see ringbolts placed in the deck, and a tackle rigged (sometimes even two) to haul back the gun in order to sponge out and load.
Seeing how far the gun has to be run backwards to get the sponge in the barrel, I was wondering: were should the ringbolts be placed to get the system working?

The question is: would Nelson recognise this entry-port....
There is a nice model in NMM showing Victory as she was supposed to be n 1803 without the entry-ports.http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66474.html
There is alos a model that shows victory as she was supposed to be in 1805 sith entryports and even a platform outside the hull....
http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66475.html
The one without is assumed to be the contemporary model

amateur got a reaction from JeffT in Newsworthy updates from Chris Watton
As said before, I would vote for something like this one (Gouden Leeuw, as drawn by Van de Velde) in a 1:96 scale
All kits tend to be "HMS-ships"....
