Gabek got a reaction from mtaylor in 6-pounder, Royal Navy cannon barrel - George III era
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.

Hi Gabe
Thank you for sharing this. Will you be adding the trough around the vent? Do you or does any member know the vent diameter?

Update long 24 pounder STL. This is scaled to full size 3262.31mm. You can scale that to whatever scale you need. I messed up with the first file, by not scaling it properly. My cat escaped and while chasing her, I forgot where I was in a program, and messed it up. This file has been scaled and error checked using Netfabb.

I'm working on a full set of the Fredricks, as well as several other types, in conjunction with Allanyed. I have the long 24 pounder finished for his carriage project. If anyone needs the short one right away, I could generate that one. Otherwise I will finish the Fredrick set after the Blomefields.
This is a graphic of the file
Here is the STL

I wrote a thread about setting up for printing cannons in 3D, to help those who wish to try it for themselves.

Yes, that captures the character of the gun. This design is very common - the precise balance of reinforce vs chase and the number and style of the astragals and listels will vary over the period of black powder artillery, but for a very long time almost all nations produced guns that broadly have this form. I believe that this is "gun".

In answer to @Lieste 's rebuke of my first attempt at a cannon barrel, I have corrected the muzzle to what I hope is a more acceptable shape. I admit that I had incorrectly shaped the muzle. The lines you see in the muzzle would not be printed - they are simply artefact lines from revolving the complex shape of the muzzle. You see the same lines on the pommelion. These would not be printed as you see them.
Please let me know if these are acceptable. Attached to this is the .stl file for you to download. I will post a ready-to-print, supported model once people are satisfied that I have a correct cannon barrel.
Kind regards,
Gabe

Gabek got a reaction from Haliburton in 6-pounder, Royal Navy cannon barrel - George III era
Hello modellers,
My friend and fellow Manitoban, @Knocklouder , asked if I could print up some 6-pounder cannons for his HMS Pegasis (Amati, 1:64). I based the following design of the 6-pounderm found in Anatomy of the Ship: The 24-Gun Frigate Pandora. I did not include a gunlock in this design - just a simple touch hole. The emblem on the cannon is George III but I think it could pass for the very similar George II - particularly at smaller scales.
This file was created in 1:64, but can be scaled up or down as needed. Attached are the .STL and the .cbddlp files for anyone who wants to print it off themselves. The .cbddlp is pre-supported. I used Anycubic ABS+ on an Elegoo Mars printer and had very good results - I can supply the print parameters on request.
Hope this helps,
Gabe

Nicely done on the boat, Bob. Distractions seem to be the bane of modelers.

Gabek reacted to Knocklouder in HMS Pegasus 1776 by Knocklouder - Amati/Victory Models - 1:64
Well I got side tracked again, lol, this time the life boat. I was getting ready to tackle the planking and saw this metal life boat, so I looked at a lot of Pegasus logs, and 9 out of ten scraped the boat.
Well every time you turn around on this ship you got to up grade, cannons, swivel guns, stove, life boat, and I have to buy more blocks if it is rigged a certain way, they don't come with the kit. Sheees.
Oh well, I can't keep buying accessories, So this is what I come up with for my life boat.
I open the plastic bag, and ll this was inside. The little peice of instructions didn't make sense. There is no bell on the life boat, and these bars are for what.lol.
Getting some ideas from the logs this is what I came up with.
I got some oars that when sanded down will look pretty good I think .
Marvin tells me to put this all away and come back to it later, I agree lol. I really want to get at my planking but there are way to many distraction. And outside work is calling again 🙄, but I am hard of hearing lol. I do plan on putting the life boat away till later in the build, this was just fun to do and I like it.
On to the planking , lol, thanks for all the help and likes.
Bob M.
