Through bolts had a slot on the outer end that a forelock - a wedge-shaped piece of iron sheet - was pushed through and bent into an 'S 'to retain it. There was a washer under the forelock to prevent wood from being crushed. As many items as possible on a ship had to be easily replaced in the event. All it needed was a hammer.

You would also agree with picture 003 of HMS Cumberland ?

I think the good work of naval archaeologists might hold some answers. It occurs to me that these fixings would not be required in most cases on original drawings, possibly being one of the last jobs.

 

By the way, Welcome to MSW Pavel, you are off to a good start!

Thank you a lot for your welcome greetings Bruce and sorry for my English. 😉

I am since years a member of this forum. I found here so much informations from the best craftmans of the world 😉 for the build of my 74-gun ship.

I will create a scratch build log, when I finished the second planking of the hull.

On the foto you can see the first planking (mainwale is already finished).

The scale is 1:49,4.
 

But now - back to the topic. 🙂

Hello together,

I have a question concerning a detail of outboard cannon bolts. On many models of french 74-gun ships  there are the bolts available - see picture 001.

But I can't see  this detail on the models of the english 74-gun ships - see picture 002 (Bellona).

The only model where you can see the bolts outboard is the model of HMS Cumberland, scale 1:36 from Alexander Baranov - see picture 003.

Are these outboard bolts only on french ships available?

Thanks a lot for your help

Pavel
