Jeronimo reacted to Remcohe in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Thanks guys. Sure Bob, although I haven't found a safe place yet. .. Piet, the beams are cut on a scroll saw and sanded using a simple jig. I still have some pictures somewhere in my archive. Of course the mortices are hand cut
That said, I had to take out the lathe to make the mast wedge. I used French Box which is a real treat to turn on a lathe.
The mast step is hold in place with wedges
Everything was dry fitted, this is becoming a cramped part of the ship and this is even without the cisterns
The holes in the mast partner are cut using chisels and files

Thanks Greg that is really kind of you, but "My Swan was O.K" must be the understatement of the year
I don't know Mark I don't have a copy of Napier, but I take it as a big compliment.
MarkII, yep I cut them by hand, couple of real sharp chisels did the job.
Thnx Christian
Back to work, the Gallow is morticed/tenoned I wanted to give this a try after seeing Tony making tenons for the deck pillars. My hat is off to you Tony, it's a daunting task...

Thank you for clarifying Druxey.
Mark, I filed the hole in the mast partner at a slight angle, but as the mast partner is quite thin it's hardly noticeable.
Greg, I didn't plan to, but now your asking..... I made a slightly different pattern than suggested in TFFM.

Jeronimo reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Hello,
the La Créole had a total of 6 light swivel guns, which were probably intended for close combat.
4 of them were in the front and 2 mounted in the rear.
The swivel guns are made of brass.
Here I show you the components before assembly.
Other pictures show the finished swivel guns.
And in the end a picture from the forecastle with swivel guns mounted.
