The shipyard can be a very dangerous place, what with falling timbers and other hazards.  I hope Marvin is ok.  Otherwise, very fine work, Bob!

 

Thank you so much, @allanyed, I sent this info to my good friend  @Gabek. And based on the info, he made me 20 cannons that when fully rigged will look marvelous.  The right size and shape, Thank you both, can't go wrong with friends like you guys.    
PS  I only have volume lll of TFFM, lol.

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

I based this model on diagrams that were supplied to me, which I quite obviously didn't even follow all that faithfully. Yes, I can see the hideous mistakes, particularly at the muzzle.  My apologies for sharing something so inadequate.  I won't bore you with some of the mitigating circumstances that contributed to this failure.  Thank you for your corrections. Please disregard my work.

GRANDPA,  The  First Mate  and I want to say He's  adorable.  He will be able to help you build later on, big help picking things up lol.  
  Model seems to be coming along nicely,  how ever did you find the time lol.  Thanks for everything  Matey .    

Fourth trip to the cottage
 
Wanting to be close to home for the birth of our grandson and the subsequent visit from my sister and mother have happily kept us away from the cottage.   By the way, here's our little admiral, Duncan:  
(and because of the modeller in me I have already researched and located plans of the Royal Navy Admiral Adam Duncan's flagship at Camperdown, HMS Venerable, and purchased the Trumpeter model of the modern day HMS Duncan…)

On to the HMCS Agassiz/Wetaskawin…
 
We only stayed at the cottage long enough to mow the grass (and much taller month-old poplar trees) and a few chores so in the lulls I managed to attach the bulwark stays(?).  This is when I the laser cut kit that I purchased paid for itself…again! I almost think it is a necessity to get the kit if you want to build this model.  These tiny parts were painful enough to install without having to worry about cutting them out accurately, etc.  The thicker card stock of the laser kit made these pieces nicely stiff and resistant to the somewhat ham-fisted manoeuvrings I put them through. Their thickness also helped in squaring them to the bulwarks. 


Outboard of the transom were two flanges similar to the bulwark stays that likely support the depth charge chutes.  In real life these are likely thinner than the bulwark supports so they weren't included in the laser cut kit…but I thought it would be advantageous to make them thicker.  So, I sliced off a couple of these from the edges of the laser cut card.

(OMG! Getting in close sure shows off my crummy workmanship!)
 
I had time to glue in the stem…

And that's how she sits until our next visit…

 
Clear skies and sharp tools!

Not a wasted effort at all! Good job!

No, I don't think I'll disregard your work, my friend. It looks a lot more correct than incorrect to me, and hugely better than the kit supplied items that I'm currently looking at. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing the files. 

I don't  know much about cannons,  but these come with  a touch hole and a little  King emblem  on them and really look good to me . Even Marvin  likes them. 

Thanks, Andrew!  I'm pretty sure that my grandson be immersed in models…whether he likes them or not!  🤣. That and fishing! 🎣🤣

Congratulations on your Grandson Gabe!  I hope you buy him plenty of model kits to build and keep him busy / away from smartphones/gaming consoles as long as possible when the he is older! 
You did well to get anything done on the Agassiz with all that going on!  Looking good. 👍

Hi Gabe
Thank you for posting this.
Both the Pegasus 1776 and Pegasus 1779 would likely have had Armstrong-Frederick guns, both of which had George III emblems so what you show is appropriate for that era.  It is good to see the astragal ring around the button.  No aftermarket or kit cannon that I have seen to date show this rather distinctive feature on either the Armstrong (1725-1759) or Armstrong Frederick (1760-1791) so your drawing could be very useful to a lot of folks.
