    I started building artillery on this frigate. The first idea was to make a silicone rubber mold and pour a two-component resin into it, but it takes too long for each gun. So I decided to make them in lead alloy which has a very low melting temperature. I made the two masters in brass: In the meantime, I started building the carts for the 18-pound guns:

    those mini-chisels are handcrafted. I got them, through a dear friend, from an acquaintance of his. I only know that they come from Russia, that they are expensive, I paid for them in advance and they arrived after about six months. But they are excellent !!!

    to be honest, I have little time to devote to the model because for work I have to do at least 160km a day..... I work on the model only on weekends
