EJ_L Posted June 21, 2016 Share #121 Posted June 21, 2016 Excellent work. One of my favorite parts of these models is adding the furniture and accessories. Every item adds life to the model and makes it easier to picture the deck filled with sailors going about their duties.

cobra1951 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share #123 Posted June 22, 2016 Finished off the cartridge containers. Instructions say to glue the straps directly to the wood sides but i put a piece of brass wire in for the straps to fit to Painted up and straps fitted Randomly placed them about the deck slow2cool, WackoWolf, cristikc and 9 others 12 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ_L Posted June 22, 2016 Share #126 Posted June 22, 2016 The brass wire is a nice touch to those canisters. Little details like that make a huge difference especially at that scale.

CaptainSteve Posted June 22, 2016 Share #132 Posted June 22, 2016 That's some nice work, Cobr@. If you are looking for ideas for additional equipment/props to add to your section, then check out some of the photos in Dafi's HMS Victory build.

Thanks Steve I'm very familiar with Daniels log i followed it on other forums before i joined MSW I don't want to overload it with more stuff as there are still a lot of things to add, such as, cannon tools. cloth sacks, bowls. and hammocks Edited June 23, 2016 by Cobr@ CaptainSteve, mtaylor, Elijah and 4 others 7 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra1951 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share #136 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Thanks to everyone for their likes, remarks and input so far, it's much appreciated Some more input needed here, I have made these two containers, (one for each build) and i am not sure what they are meant to represent as once again no mention of the name is made in the instructions My thoughts are they are fuse containers for the touch holes on the cannons. Also i think that what they are should determine where they are placed on the deck What do you guys think ?

Canute Posted June 23, 2016 Share #137 Posted June 23, 2016 I think you're on the right track, Cobr@. The great guns had been retrofitted with flintlock triggers, but these could break or misfire. The backup was the linstocks or slow match fuses you made there. I'd think they'd go towards the ship's center-line, between the guns.

cobra1951 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share #138 Posted June 23, 2016 That's exactly what i was thinking they were. And as there is only one per build then they should be placed where both gun crews can access them Thanks for your help, Appreciated mtaylor, CaptainSteve, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompey2 Posted June 23, 2016 Share #144 Posted June 23, 2016 Hi Cobr@ This is a picture of the Gun equipment on the Victory, it might help. I think you will find that they are, from left. Water bucket, Sand bucket for placing a smouldering Linstock (prior to gunlock or as a backup) The linstock was a length of wood with a piece of rope attached. The charge carrier for carrying charge bags to the gun. And the ready box which held one or two charge bags in preparation. Balls or other projectiles were either local to the gun or from a ball locker. I hope I got that right.
