Hello, the question relating to the mounting of the gun port lids I could now finally clarify with the help of a forum colleagues. In the painting of Horace Vernet is clearly at the bottom gun port lid a hook recognizable as such (yellow arrow). Furthermore, in the Monograph La Creole 1827 by J. Boudriot on page 96 can be found, that the upper lid with 4 hooks has been fixed. So there were a total of six hooks for attachment to a gun port. This was implemented by me immediately at the battle station. In addition, 48 hook with eyelet for the model I have to make.

Hi Alex, beautiful work.

Hello friends, today I will show you how to attach the upper gunports cover with hook and eyelet. For this detail I have researched long. I hope this is the correct version. The difficulty was to bend the small hook with eyelet from 0.3 mm brass wire. This detail must now be implemented in the model. Here are the corresponding images:

Hello dear friends, thank you for your kind words and support, that means a lot for me. During the weekend, I continued making the hammock cranes. There are 152 holes with a diameter of 0,5 mm is required. The eyelets I made out of a U-piece brass wire. These are inserted and soldered in two holes. Here are some pics, so you can enjoy them.

Hello Karl, thanks for your nice comment. It continues with the production of hammocks cranes. The sheet brass is 0.2 mm thick. The required strips of 1 mm width I sawed with a circular saw. By bonding the sheet to a plywood underlay you get very precise strips. The bending of the eyelets I made with a prepared plier. 38 holders are to be made.

Hello Karl, always enthusiastic me the excellent work from you. The casting of cannons is a good alternative to turning. This cannon barrels look very realistic.

Hello, I treat today making the shot garlands. A total of 140 cannonballs were stowed on the La Creole. Of these, 122 for the carronades and 18 for the cannon. As cannonballs I use balls of ball bearings These balls were burnished.
-
Hello, today I show you the carronade with a served rope. The protection of the breeching was made of a coated paper handkerchief. It has a tarred look.
-
Hello Mark, unfortunately my English is not so good. But I try to explain to you: It is correct that way. The breeching rope is long enough. In this type carronade from the year 1830, the recoil was limited with a strong rope. This is called non-recoil-principle. The operator had to go through the gun port to load the carronade from the outside. I hope I have expressed myself correctly.

Hello, for the time I am working on a section model in 1:48 scale. This model is used to try out different details. In addition to stowing the hammocks and the rigging of the carronades is to be examined in more detail. to be continued ...
