Hello Johann,

 

Your model is just astonishing. Apparently, one of my favorite ships is the Creole, so I'm definitely going to follow the log.

 

Cheers,

Fabulous binnacle, Johann!

[archjofo]

Hello Dear Friends,

thank you very much for your comments, I appreciate them a lot.

The bow section of the French corvette was completed.

Here you can see the bow, with the now mounted equipment parts.

You can see also the figurehead in some pics.

 

 

 

 

The small seawater pump on the bow was, among other things for the hygiene of the crew on board.

See the LINK.

@ jaerschen

Thanks for the nice comment.

 

Hello,

in supplement to my previous reporting, I show still images to the 

suction strainer with pipe for the small seawater pump.

 

 

[gjdale]

Johann,

 

Your attention to detail is superb, and your execution stunning!

[archjofo]

Hello Dear Friends,

 

the main armament of the la creole consisted of 20 30-pounder carronades.
First I made ​​a prototype, gonna learn how to make all the parts I need.
The production of the prototype can be seen in the following images.
I hope that you enjoy it.
Soon I will show you more pictures of the finished Carronade.

[gjdale]

I don't know what to say, other than just stunning! Beautiful work Johann.

[mtaylor]

Johann,

 

Absolutely amazing and beautifully done.  Are you making the nuts and bolts?  They look to be threaded.

[archjofo]

Hello,

thanks to all for your recognition of my performance.

 

@mtaylor

Hello Mark,
the nuts and bolts are partially purchased.
But the bolts with square nuts are self-made​​.

 

 

 

[Wishmaster]

Simply beautiful. Beautiful ship and model and excellent work. Thanks Johann for sharing this.

[Meredith]

Brilliant stuff!

[druxey]

Very impressive work, Johann! Thanks for sharing your pictures.

[archjofo]

Hello friends,
Thanks for the nice comments.
Here are some pictures of the current state for manufacturing of carronaden.

 

 

 

 

We'll see you again soon.

 

 

 

 

[archjofo]

Hello,

here I show the continuation of the production of Caronades.
The supports for the gun barrels are made ​​of brass precision casting.
I have the Carronade only temporarily installed to see whether the parts fit.
Later, the brass parts are still blackened.
