Happy Saturday to All, Well… I don’t think this is a difficult decision. 😆 This took me most of the day. I imagine the time will shorten as I get the rhythm going. This was a first, made all my own eyes and nails (just noticed I don’t have the breech rings on yet). Hats off to Syren for a nice carriage kit. The cannon is the MS Britannia, I’m happy with it. I know, missed the axle wheel retainers. At this scale, they’re going to stay missed. 😄 Went with natural wood wheels on this one just to see if I liked it, they might end up black. Thanks for dropping by! 👍

OUTSTANDING Sir! Around 5 years to build… and it’s your first? I want to be around to see the perfection of your 2nd or 3rd venture! Well done! 👍😀

That’s what I’m looking at. Thanks Greg, just making sure that 4” was circumference! 👍😀 Ordered some scale rope from ROS.

Hi All, I know it’s been said, but I’m looking at the original page of breeching and tackle lines for the different sizes of cannons and ships etc., where those inches for the diameter or the circumference (as it actually makes a huge difference). Sorry for my short memory. 🫤

Hi All, The mood just hasn’t been there to get back into the hull of the ship, so I turned to the cannons. I cleaned up the cannons and I think they turned out satisfactory. The carriages… that’s another thing. I ordered some carriages from Syren for the smallest cannon he makes (which is a 6 pounder I think). Anyway, his cannons measure about a mm and some change longer than these do from MS. I’m going to build one and see how these guns fit. So, while on the gun topic, I had lots of correspondence when building the Lady Nelson regarding breeching rope, rings and tackle. Given both ships are 1:64 scale… is the difference between a 3 or 4 pound cannon and a 6 pounder going to have real differences in the size of the breech line and rings and eyebolts etc. that will be visible on the ship at this scale? I’ve got lots of different sizes of wire to make things from if it makes a difference. I don’t have much information on anything other than breech line size for a 6 pounder.

Hi Bill, just got on board with your build. 👍 Don’t be shy asking questions on your log, as most of us Snake builders are all following each other’s build. 😀

What in the wild wild world of sports is a goin on here? 😳 Had to remind the shipyard that it is really a guitar bench. 😆 The Strat needed a long over do tune up. Then my baby needed some new flat wounds. 👍
