Hi Justin Regarding the cannons, I decided to go the easy way- bought already made. For the next model I will try to make them by self as new interesting challenge.:) From my memory"Caldercraft" was manufacturer for them. From package they coming as polished brass finish. I just applied one coat with black primer spray. After that 2 cots with black enamel/mat paint. Only for paint I use brush to create more rough finish. For all wood parts I use Wipe-on poly/clear satin/minwax finish. I apply 3 coats and sanding between them with high grade/600,100,2000/sanding pads. Looks like anyone have different approach how to finishing they models. But the way how I did it satisfies me, and I think it looks pretty good. In any case, I hope the information above will help you build your model, that already looks beautiful.

Hi Justin My Idea to add locker, pump room comes from ChadB built model. Thanks him for inspiration. When i start build your model as a guideline i use Chadb model. "tkay11" and "AnobiumPunctatum" also help me with recommending good reference book. The Fully Framed model HMN Swan Class Sloops 1767-1780 by David Antscherl. And of course a lot advice I found here on the forum simply browsing other models. Putting all information together I create my own vision about pump/locker room details and measurements. I hope that the information provided will helps to you.

Hi all. I decided make quick update about my cross section last time this year. I done rigging for gun carriages. Looks good for me. But next model i definitely will be made without any rigging:) Thanks to anyone. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks Chad The idea about initial block was taken from "tkay11" Triton cross section build. Thanks to him for that. I just do it a little changes. I make it a little longer and with 3 carriages in one time. The principle is quite simply. I pre cut all parts by sizes and right mitre. After glue them together. Only I use glue on ends of parts/Red line/ When all milling,sawing and preparing works was done I simply cut off glued parts/Green line/. In my opinion it worked quite well. Only I'm not sure if I'd do the same if I had to make for example 20 Carriges In any case hope information given to me helps to You. Regards Ainars.
