Thanks Jason, I'm still trying to fit those tiny parts. I;m not so sure about the orientation of the quoin. Should I place it onto the bed or "in line" with it? In a vertical or horizontal placement? The instructions are'nt so helpful, as you know....

Thanks again

A couple of shots of my (late) progress... Left couple 24's carronades, right couple, 32's... I think definitely the 32's are the best option. A final touch up procedure is needed, but in the end with the other 14-16 ....

...trying hardly to find the stool bed of 0,5x3 and the carriage coin of 3x3 mm.... I think the above parts are totally missed! Jason, any help (your the 1st you've purchased those items)? Thanks
-
Yoy're right! I spent so many hours trying to apply primer and painting afterwards on minor/tiny structures with disappointing reslults.
-
Hi Jason, those hooks are painted or blackened? Thanks.
-
I think that a point of later concern is whether the (aftermarket carronades kits) deck blocks should be drilled or (better) glued on the deck...
-
Thank you for replying (as usually) so promptly!!
-
Spending my time with the aftermarket carronades assembly... Two questions for you Jason, in brief: 1] how have you created the rope-hole on the barrel (in front of the elevation screw)? I cant'r find your tip even I have read it somewhere! 2] did you glue the carriage on the sliding bed or simply you left it unglued sliding on it via its 1,5 mm rod wire? Thanks again Stergios
-
Fantastic work, Jason! What;s the need of the sliding bed posterior eyelets you have fixed? Thanks
-
All sills glued in place. It;s my choise to not drill the sills, independently of the possible use of the after market guns and fittings...

Thank you mates. For the moment I try to find out which type of gun is my prefered one... These days i'll try to assemble each kit independently just to be sure.
-
In the mean time I want to ask you: 1] do you like to have painted or blackened small parts like trunnions, eyelets etc 2] what kind of tool do you use to trim or precise cut metal rods of 1mm to 1,5 mm? Thanks a lot!
-
Hi mates I'm so many steps behind you but I try to find my rythm again. Cheers
-
To restore/touch up the appearance especially to small black parts it is advisable to use a waterproof black permanent marker.
-
...I think it's better to have blackned or painted the pins in advance before the rigging etc...
-
Hi Jim! We thank u so much for the help and the many photos, in so detail!
-
After time I took the decision to only fix the sills to the lower gunport's quadrant without any drill or pin.... Just a personal option
-
I've instantly found the time to see your recent posts spending my summer holidays. Greek island were so close to me...
-
Welcome back Jim! Waiting to see the whole rigging process of the carronades.
-
Hi Pete I'm still waiting for the 32's kits. Cornwall model boats sent to me only the barrels, ten days ago...
-
Modification of the inner bulwarks...
-
New after market fittings just arrived... The standard kits barrels compared to those of 24lbs and 32 lbs respectively. When placed the order I considered the aftermarket 24lbs as the most appropriate in seize but today I dont know what to choose for the weaponry... I strongly need your estimation on this 'debate" matter. Thank you in advance. Stergios
