My scratch built 36’ pinnace base is now done and I have it installed on my 1/76 scale Model Shipways USS Constitution!

I was a little lucky when it came to my carronades. I had three different sets to pick from kinda! I had the funky white metal kit carronades. I had the beautiful 3D printed black ones that were just a little too big compared to the scaled Navy drafts. I had the Model Monkey gray ones that were the correct size but all needed to be modified in some way. The model monkey guns had a Victory style carriage that needed to be removed and I had to attach the tronnions. I made a box jig to drill the holes for the trunnions and used some brass rod for the trunnions then self. The two for the screw elevated carronades were mostly left alone.I also ended up modifying all the the carriages from the supplied parts to fit the scaled drafts. I was thinking with your screw type, you could just attach the screw to the top and bottom of the end of the carronades instead of drilling a hole. That should hopefully make it look like it passes through without you having to drill a hole.

I’ve been going through google to do the 3D tour because it has all 4 decks. I’ve also been basing my build of of the 2015 3D tour. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q3qWEqXeBnqpqrf87 I'm hoping the link will still work! If it doesn’t I’ll send it again from my PC. I messaged the link to myself so I wouldn’t loose it again! -
I’ve gotten a little more progress on my 36” Pinnace today! I jut need to make the cleats and the rudder. I also need to decide if I’m going to have the ores or if I’m going to leave them off.
-
I forgot that the kit came with the eyebolts. I’ve been making mine with a set of jewelry pliers. It’s time consuming and I can understand why a lot of people just order them. I also had to modify my pliers to make the size I needed! I also agreed with Mtbediz, dropping the second set of tackles and doing the recoil is worth it. The second set of tackles are a little hard to get the correct size and distance. They’re also a little difficult to rig at the small size.
-
I’m finally getting some time to work on my Constitution again! I apologize for my absence but now that the two commissions and the plane I started in October are done I’m hoping to have at least a little more time to build! I’ve gotten a lot closer to completing my 36’ Pinnace and I’m mostly finishing up the details!

Yes the tiller ropes go directly through the commodore’s pantry and come out and run back through the top of the wardroom.

Great job on your canopy frame! I love the way you overcame the problem of drilling the holes in the center! Keep up the great work!
-
Your canopy frames are looking great! I ended up leaving the two companion ways at the front of the main hatch way covered because I really didn’t feel like cutting them open and trying to replicate the frames smaller. But, I’m sure I’ll either change my mind or wish I opened them up later.
-
When I did mine, I had only drilled 4 holes in my hubs. The string is there so when I eventually dropped the top down the common way I wouldn’t loose it. I would get the first opposing corners in first then each of the next two. The side frames were just glued to the side of the hub. Looking at your build, I wish I would have done my canopy frames before the common way was installed! That would have made putting them together so much easier!
-
If it helps, here are some more pictures to show the canopy frames from more of a distance.For me thinking about the canopy frames was harder than actually doing them. The second two were definitely a lot easier than the first one because I was able to get a method and I built them together. I also wish I would have built mine like Jon! It would been much easier before I installed the hatch ways. I found the post showing the 3D printed ones if your wanting to go that route. He may be able to print another set.
-
Your companion way canopy frames are looking great! Seeing your pictures is making me miss working on my ship! I had two commissions come in that I needed to work on and I have one done and the other is 60%. I’ll hopefully be back to her soon and can get my 36’ long boat done and installed!
-
I wish I would have seen your jig way back when I did my gun deck! I had to figure it out on my own. They look great!
-
Your carriage looks great! I don’t think the peace under the carriage would be that much of a loss because like you said “it’s not very visible.” are you going to build all wedge type carriages or are you going to add in the two screw types that are there.
