    Gorgeous work, Michael! And you have my brain humming about making a mini rope walk. Great idea! Clear skies and sharp tools, Gabe

    Hello Alistair, What brought you to our fair (and frigid) province?! And you only got -15C? Come at the end of January/early February and we can give you -35! 🥶 Stay cool, Gabe

    You're nailing it, Bro! (Well, actually you're gluing it...but you know what I mean!🤣) - Gabe

    Great looking, Bob! This will look spectacular when you're done. Clear skies and sharp tools, Gabe

    Final (?) product. 1:64 6-pounder Royal Navy Cannon - George III era I printed these at 0.03mm resolution in Anycubic ABS+. If anyone wants the .cbddlp file created for these prints (with supports) just send me a message. If anyone chooses to print these out I would appreciate a photo! I hope this helps, Gabe 6-pounder cannon_.stl

    Hello everyone, In response to people who have warned that there might be a split in the .stl where I created the complicated curved bodies I checked the meshes in Fusion 360 and I do believe that they are stitched correctly: Thanks for your input, folks. I will be posting the .stl for this file shortly. Clear skies and sharp tools! - Gabe
  27. Gabek
    Thanks, Phil. I do use Chitubox on occasion so I'll make a point of checking for these errors. Regards, Gabe
  28. Gabek
    Thanks! I had spotted that earlier and they were placed on the end like you recommend on this version. Regards, Gabe

    I'm sorry, Lieste - I don't quite follow you. The lines on the cascabel and the muzzle appear to be artefacts of the drawing (Fusion 360), not seams in the model. I'm printing in resin at 0.03mm resolution and have yet to see the line and there isn't any kind of infill. In the slicer (Lychee), here's what the model looks like:

    LOL! I'll go 20 cannons for 10lbs, Bob!

    Hello folks, Based on suggetions from @thibaultron and @allanyed, I've made some more modifications to the 6-pounder. Namely, I added the trough, reshaped the cascabel, and adjusted the breech rings. Here are a couple of screen shots. Once people are good with these latest changes I'll post the .stl and .cbddlp files for everyone to use. When I feel up to it I'll make a gunlock for this cannon. Regards, Gabe
  32. Gabek
    Looking great, Bob!
  33. Gabek
    I actually just guessed at the vent diameter because the drawing I referred to in AotS Diana only showed the barrel with the gunlock. If you have diagram with the trough I can easily add it. To be honest, I knew that this detail would be almost invisible at 1:64 so I didn't fret too much. - Gabe

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.
