Mind you I would even consider building a French ship if it looked like that! @chris watton

Mighty Mo did a great job against the aliens in battleship, so I'm sure the Bismarck would have been easy 😁😁

Caprails and timberheads removed The middle piece has been sanded down to the correct height of two and a half feet, timberheads on top of eighteen inches will bring it all up to four feet high as it should be
-
Whilst trying out the fitting I was thinking about the rest of the rigging for the sled so came to msw and searched carronade rigging, lots of options to read and then I noticed a picture of someone's Diana and noticed there was no bulwarks on the forecastle, checking my plans and the Diana book I realised I had a problem and my 12 pound cannons wouldn't fit As can be seen above more deconstruction has started, always one move forward and two back, in my wisdom I have built up the bulwarks to High and will have to remove all the caprails and timber heads and lower it all down In fairness to myself the frames were cut nearly seventeen years ago and I made them to the full height including the berthing up, I have then gone ahead and added the timberheads on top, so am now standing at approximately two feet too high
-
A couple of days off work and reasonable temperatures have got me back in the garage, I started with finishing off some parts for the carronade, breeching rings etc out of brass, and then made up some rope of the right size to check how it all looked
-
Hi Chris I could probably help with that, Keith black just sent me the link over, tried to pm you but as Keith says jt won't accept any messages Regards Paul
-
I remember you making them, fantastic work Regards Paul
-
Actually I nipped out into the cold and took a photo of the page, hope this helps, see no5 Regards Paul

Mark, the picture I mentioned in the Diana book with the grommet clearly shows the grommet as a ring around the breech rope above the cascable presumably then seized to the cascable, I will venture to the garage tomorrow and take a picture if you like, I'm guessing the seizing is under the breech rope so both are going through the grommet Regards Paul
