This is the build of 3 cannons on a 1/72 scale The models are from Ace from Ukraine. They produce well detailed models, not always easy to build. but always a pleasant addition to the collection. These models are the so-called short run method. A mold is made, and with this models are made until the mold is worn out. Why build these 3 in a serie, it saves me time and especially thinking about the construction method (once you understand how a certain component is built, then the next 2 to build are easy). We build 3 cannons from WW 2 (All have the same carriage). A 122mm A-19 from Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/122_mm_gun_M1931/37_(A-19) A 152mm ML-20 from Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/152_mm_howitzer-gun_M1937_(ML-20) A 12.8 cm Pak.44 (K81 / 2) from Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12.8_cm_Pak_44 Step 1 opening the boxes. Most parts are identical. only the parts for the barrels are different. The first part is ready The legs of the carriages are now being made. The first piece is a bit of a puzzle. Drawings from some plastic models are sometimes as simple as those from wooden boats.... to be continued

The best way to get answers to these questions is to start a build log.

Planking of the quarter deck. There seem to have been different methods during this period. Fully planked or with a grating of beams in the middle. The grating appears to have come into use later. Mostly on ships that sailed to the tropical seas. Possible to cool the area under this deck. Or to give the helmsman a better view of the sails. Who knows? This model gets the full planking. With 3 openings : For the block of the main sail. For the ladder between main and quarter deck. For the removable cover for the helmsman. Planking of this deck is done in the same way as the main deck. Planking on the stern area is also "weird". 4 planks are not in the length but in the width. Reason: If you look at the opposite side, here are the same planks also placed in the width. Correct or not ?? I don't know, but it is logically acceptable. These 4 planks are in the width at the bottom Thanks for following

Nice work on this model Steven. Better slow but steady, then fast but wrong. That is also my way of thinking about this hobby.
