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, an error has happened to me. The la creole also has 4 cannons. Here the passages of the cannon mouths of the gun-ports lid are smaller as for the carronades. Then unfortunately I have not been paying attention. The bore of the gun barrel I have now made too large. So I have to make this again.

Hello model builders, the manufacture and assembly of the gunports lid is nearing completion. The last two lids must still be mounted.

Hello, thanks for the positive comments. That makes me happy. Here is a little update:
-
Thanks all! Meanwhile, all gunports lids were fitted into the ports. Only the last pair is still to be finished. They are for the gun port in the bow on the port side. This gun port is a special case, because of the rounding of the bow. The fit of this cover halves at this place requires special attention. This couple also receives a dropfront as a protection against the armature. To be continued ...
