  1. Super detailing the cutter Sherbourne, a guide to building the Caldercraft kit, by George Bandurek. I published this book in 2011 and at the time there were several threads that showed photos of my build. These are not now easily accessible so I have resurrected some of the information. The attached pdf files are extracts from the book that show how I tackled some of the topics. I would welcome any comments on these extracts, or if you have bought a copy of the book (thank you!) then please post a review. More information on the book is available on my website www.grbsolutions.co.uk. Buy direct and you will get a signed copy! George Bandurek Shrouds.pdf Sails MB.pdf Cannon.pdf Anchors.pdf
  2. Hopefully someone has the answer here. I know that most kits make do with one or two sizes of rings and eyes for all situations so I'm hesitant to just take their word. Per the images below, can anyone advise what the Diameters and section thickness of both the Eyes and the Rings would be for the 5 different positions (A-E) indicated? Thanks in advance!
  3. This project is development (the second version) 24-pound bronze gun of Le Fleuron 1729, M 1:24 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/454-24-pdr-bronze-gun-le-fleuron-1729-by-garward-m-124/ constructed before model The model of a gun represents the artillery post consisting of a bronze gun with some accessories, fragments of a board and two decks. The model is made in M 1:24 according to drawings of the monograph Le Fleuron, the trunk of work of Alexey Baranov, part of wooden details - a gun carriage (except axes and aim wedges), beams, frames, gratings are made on a milling cutter with ChPU our Polish colleague Mirek. In this version I tried to consider experience of construction of the first option of this model. I provide some drawings, allowing to make general idea about the project, and also a photo of initial details below.
  4. Greetings from Sardinia Island, Italy. This is my first post here. I would like to share my project, a 36lb naval gun from XVIII century. When I bought the Mantua kit of this model I soon realized it was very inaccurate under so many aspects. After some researches I decided to save the gun, wheels and the deck, scratch-building all the rest. The final result is quite satisfing for me, at least compared to the starting kit. Later on will post some pictures related to some steps in building this model. Unfortunatley didn't took many pictures while progressing the work.
  5. I'm new to this forum and new to model wooden ship building. I'm impressed by the expertise of the many contributors and a bit apprehensive about joining in. Everyone seems to have a good attitude of collaboration, so here goes. I'm building the Artesania Latina Hermione. The hull planking and painting are done and I'm about to install - ship - the ten cannons and carriages that are visible on the main deck. The AL instructions and illustrations show the installation of line that passes through the carriage (breaching line?) and is attached at both ends to the bulwork. As I look through various illustrations of the modern replica Hermione it's clear that there is at least one other rigging set present. That set is a line that passes through a set of blocks and is used for returning the cannon to its firing position. I'm thinking that would be a nice detail to add to my project. But, as I research this rigging a third set is often shown that extends from the rear of the cannon toward the midship line. What is that set for? I rarely, if ever, see that set in other models. Lastly, I'm I right in thinking that the French used a different arrangement than the British for how that breaching line is attached?
  6. I am considering whether to arm my 'armed' longboat of 1834, and while doing so I'm looking at the type of swivel guns used. In all the models of this I've seen a standard muzzle-loading swivel gun is depicted, as it is in the plans of M.Delacroix from which I am working. However, I was wondering whether this type of longboat might have used breech-loading swivel guns as these were popular at the time and provided more rapid fire than could the muzzle-loaders although they were less reliable. So if there's anyone who's knowledgeable about this please do chip in with your opinions. It may be that I don't end up putting any armament on the longboat, but I'm still interested in the question as may others be when considering the type of swivel gun to use on their models. The following is an illustration of a breech-loader that was put up on Pinterest by Brian Walters Thanks Tony
  7. Just a little diversion from my other projects. This will be a 1:12 scale model of a 17th century naval cannon. The plans were drawn by Jeff Staudt and are available at Navy Board Models. https://www.navyboardmodels.com/sites/default/files/documents/plans/cannon-1-12.pdf This is the same gun and carriage plans we used for our 17th century battle station build. The scale is much larger, and my plan is to turn the cannon out of hard maple. I have a midi lathe and have done some turning of furniture parts, but the cannon should be a challenge. The photos show one sheet of the plans and my own turned furniture parts. The columns on the tall clock are mine turnings, not the stairway balusters!
  8. Does anyone have drawings (preferably 1/60 scale - but I guess beggars can't be choosers) for 4 pounder guns as carried on the bounty? I am building the Amati model and I'm not overly impressed with the supplied cast metal carriages so I want to build some "more correct" ones. Searching the net brings up loads of 18, 24 & 32 pounders but none of the little ones! Looking forward to your help...
  9. Has anyone who is or has built Model Shipways Rattlesnake replaced the supplied cannons with another supplier. I am looking at Syren 29.75mm one which should be very close to the original 27mm ones. I am on my second attempt to relace half of the originals, but the first replacements are just as bad. Thanks to all for your input
  10. This project represents the exposition consisting of three models of a bronze 24-pound gun of Le Fleuron 1729, M 1:24. Idea of the project - to show model options in development - from gun model to battle station: - The gun located on a fragment of the deck (No. 1); - The gun located on a fragment of the deck with a board and some artillery accessories (No. 2); - Battle station including a gun with roofing felts and accessories to firing, fragments of two decks, a board fragment with gun port and a cover (No. 3). In an exposition I used c little changes two constructed before the http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/454-24-pdr-bronze-gun-le-fleuron-1729-by-garward-m-124/ http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1666-24-pdr-bronze-gun-le-fleuron-1729-by-garward-m-124-second-version/ and also I constructed new model of the gun (No. 1) located on a fragment of the deck. Each of models is established on own support, in an exposition of model are united by the general stand. I began this project with http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1666-24-pdr-bronze-gun-le-fleuron-1729-by-garward-m-124-second-version/ -I added the electrified lamp. The lamp is made according to obtained at French on the Arsenal drawings (see poses. 2 on the drawing) that on the scale of M 1:24 gives diameter of cylindrical part of a lamp of 8 mm and height of 11 mm. As a prototype the similar lamp of production of the French modeller of Alain Fosse served. The case and cover of a lamp are made of a brass bar, an insert with an opening under a light-emitting diode - from yellow plexiglas, food elements (2 AAA batteries) are established under a deck flooring, contacts for connection of a lamp are inserted into a seam between levels of a deck flooring.
  11. I'm planing for the future to build a sloop in scale 1:48, and for armament I will have 10 6-pound cannons, unless convinced otherwise It's probably going to be 18-1850. I would like to scratch-build the ship, and of course also the cannons. I have done some research, but have not been able to find the measurements of a 6-pound naval cannon, and part of this is probably because I don't know enough on the subject. So the question is, what are the measurements of a 6-pound naval cannon around 1800? For those who can read this, here is what I came up with, but I had to use very doubtful sources, and some guessing. The left side numbers are lengths, and right side width (spelled that one wrong) The gun should be 1,65 meters long real life. Thank you for your time Edit, added 4-pound to title
  12. Dear All: I am new one for this website, but, I am a ship builder, I want to make some kind of cannon by casting to myself, such as English/Spanish/French/Russian for 16-17 Century, if some one has the plan/picture/draw to supply me, it will be tks, or I buy it. tks for your help.
  13. The gun model represents as a matter of fact battle stations, consisting of a bronze gun with some accessories and board and deck fragments. The model is made in M 1:24 under drawings of monography Le Fleuron (G. Delacroix), the trunk of work of Alexey Baranov, the basic wooden details - a gun carriage (except axes and aim wedges), frames, preparation of boards for a covering are made on a milling cutter with CNC our Polish colleague Mirek. I also have tried to consider experience of the French and Italian colleagues http://5500.forumactif.org/f28-le-fleur...-delacroix http://5500.forumactif.org/f17-artillerie on creation of similar models. At once I want to tell that this the first mine, but not a unique variant of construction of an battle stations, with use of the mentioned details, such variants with various degree of detailed elaboration there is a set and everyone modeller can choose a variant to the taste.
