paulsutcliffe Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share #368 Posted March 4, 2019 Whilst trying out the fitting I was thinking about the rest of the rigging for the sled so came to msw and searched carronade rigging, lots of options to read and then I noticed a picture of someone's Diana and noticed there was no bulwarks on the forecastle, checking my plans and the Diana book I realised I had a problem and my 12 pound cannons wouldn't fit As can be seen above more deconstruction has started, always one move forward and two back, in my wisdom I have built up the bulwarks to High and will have to remove all the caprails and timber heads and lower it all down In fairness to myself the frames were cut nearly seventeen years ago and I made them to the full height including the berthing up, I have then gone ahead and added the timberheads on top, so am now standing at approximately two feet too high Canute, FriedClams, KARAVOKIRIS and 8 others 11 Quote The clerk of the cheque's yacht of sheerness Current build HMS Sirius (1797) 1:48 scratch POF from NMM plans HMS Winchelsea by chuck 1:48 Cutter cheerful by chuck 1:48 Previous builds- Elidir - Thames steam barge Cutty Sark-Billings boats Wasa - billings boats Among others 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
