Hello,
the La Créole had a total of 6 light swivel guns, which were probably intended for close combat.
4 of them were in the front and 2 mounted in the rear.
The swivel guns are made of brass.
Here I show you the components before assembly.
Other pictures show the finished swivel guns.
And in the end a picture from the forecastle with swivel guns mounted.

Hello Dear Friends,
thank you very much for your comments, I appreciate them a lot.
The bow section of the French corvette was completed.
Here you can see the bow, with the now mounted equipment parts.
You can see also the figurehead in some pics.
The small seawater pump on the bow was, among other things for the hygiene of the crew on board.
See the LINK.

Hello,
here I show the continuation of the production of Caronades.
The supports for the gun barrels are made of brass precision casting.
I have the Carronade only temporarily installed to see whether the parts fit.
Later, the brass parts are still blackened.
