Hi Mates,

I have come to realize that each of you will most likely build three more ships before I finish this one. (:-)

But, here, surprisingly, are the completed cannons. Each of which incorporates fifty-five parts inclusive of the ropes, blocks and the single nail for anchoring the carriage to the deck (drilled a hole at the bottom of one of the four wheels for each carriage). I'm really irritated with my lack of knowledge regarding the axle pin poor locations. Darn, Nigel had the perfect solution, but it was too late...

You will note that my first attempt at devising a carriage anchoring method was, in retrospect, silly. Those long nails would not allow the barrels to slip through the deck openings. This did not even occur to me (such a novice) as I was attaching them. I tried shortening the nails, but then I could not locate the tiny pre drilled hole in the deck; uncharted territory for me.

So plan "C" should work, a small nail through one of the rear wheels in each carriage. Hmmm. The also really uncharted waters for me will be rigging all of these. (:-). I will use JanV's idea from his build.

I promise that I won't post any more canon updates until I have them rigged and mounted! Might be a long while (:-). I so appreciate all of your really super nice comments, so encouraging, thanks for also just looking in.

PS: ropes and blocks are from Chuck's at Syren (:-)

Regards,

Michael

Still hectic at my job but I've done some work on the model.

The main mast is now mounted and I also made two more tops. The details on the smaleest one is much reworked to fit and get more in scale. I also noticecd the problem Karl mentioned in his Vasa thread about the squared hole being to small so I widened it a little and will also rework the mizzen mast a little to make it work.

Started with the rigging of the canons

for the finalization I will make a dummy setup to rig the canons further

Thanks Michael,

As I have an week off this week from work, I continued with some small items: first of all the new figures between the doors: and started with the assembly of the canons, I planned to make the strips using black paper.

Hi Karl,

I hope so also, but depends on what we have to do in our new house, I hope to have then a very big model workshop, indoor, heated etc and a lot of space for all my equipment. so it might take some extra time to fix all this. I keep you all posted
