    Each of you are very special to me, God bless you and keep you safe and warm during the Holidays and throughout the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

    Allan, it could very well have been a swivel but while not necessary correct, being placed on a carriage makes it much easier to display. The cannon itself appears to be correct. Three foot cannons found on eBay are suspect in that they don't adhere to the way cannon were actually designed and cast.

    Pianos are moved up and downstairs all the time. I dare say a piano's average weigh is close to 500 lbs. I don't know what the cannon barrel weighs but it would be a heck of a lot less awkward to move. Shipping cost, yeah that's gonna be a bugger.

    Mark, I think this would be something for private display/showing. You'd probably be the only one on the block to have one but no sense in drawing unwanted attention. It would certainly be the center piece of a nautical collection.

    I agree, Roger. I would think one would need to have a discussion with the seller to try and establish provenance and make sure no laws were/have been broken. I see field pieces come up for sale but this is the first "real" ships' cannon I've seen for sale. Who ever made the carriage did a nice job. In today's world that's got to be worth at least $500.00 to $750.00

    British cannon supposedly recovered from a river on reproduction carriage for $2,500.00 located here in Michigan. https://www.roadsidemetamora.com/product-page/1780-s-british-insurance-cannon-w-vintage-handmade-carriage

    Bail you out, in your dreams!

    Lorraine, welcome to MSW. You did such a grand job on the Wasa hull it's a shame you couldn't finish her. Rob has been away awhile, hopefully he returns to once again work toward completing the model you started.

    Painting a .008 rubbing strake freehand makes my eyes hurt. Considering the jolly boat's size, Eberhard, it looks absolutely amazing! Great job.

    Guy, please do. I'm pleased that you would consider doing so.

    Guy, unfortunately Paul (whom I considered a true friend) has been MIA for over two years. I diligently searched any and all connections in the UK to Paul that I could conceive of but to no avail. In my heart I feel Paul has passed on and as difficult as it is I've made peace with Paul being no longer with us.

    Jim, welcome to MSW. is there a time period that you have a particular interest in? Glad to have you aboard.

    Tim, the images are fine. Leave as is, the bigger the image the easier to see detail. I dislike small images taken with a phone, you can't make out detail for diddly.

    VB, welcome to MSW. We lived in Egegik for nine years. Glad to have you aboard.
  17. Keith Black
    Valeriy, will the model be displayed open or in a case?
  18. Keith Black
    Fantastic work/presentation, Glen. I think this one is the pick of the litter.
  19. Keith Black
    Man, what an achievement.

    Eve turned out really really nice. I'm sure Captain Bean will have fond memories of her evermore.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
