The first of the 9 lb. cannon: It’s far from perfect, but once it’s painted, it’ll be just fine. By the way, all guns are going to have glass seed beads glued to their breeches for cascabels along the getting the breech eyebolts for the breeching rope. The last picture is after I sanded it to clean it up a bit.

All eighteen carriages are ready to take their guns. Now, I just have to make them. I think that I will try carving them first, from a dowel rod. If I don’t like how that goes, I will try chucking said dowel rod in a drill and making a makeshift lathe. But, carving sounds safer, so I will try that first.

Busy weekend. I rearranged my shipyard so I can put in an actual workbench. I installed eyebolts in the sides of my gun carriages. I tested my new scalpel out on wood. It worked perfectly. I still have all fingers, lol. I need to make the rest of the parts for my gun carriages and assemble them.

I’ve got enough sides cut out for 14 of the carriages for the 12 pound carronades. I only need 12, but I made a couple of extras. I’m working on the sides of the carriages for the 9 pound long guns. On a separate note, the scalpel is working well. The handle isn’t the most comfortable to use, but it will be okay for now. I want to get a couple of the plastic molded grip handles.

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.
