Phill Elston Posted March 28, 2016 #1 Posted March 28, 2016 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... mtaylor and Canute 2 Current build: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12953-hmav-bounty-by-phill-elston-amati-160-ostensibly-from-the-kit-plans-but-potentially-modified-to-more-authentic/
druxey Posted March 28, 2016 #2 Posted March 28, 2016 A 4 pounder would have been usually 5' 6" long. Simply scale down the pattern of the 18 pounder and you'll be close enough. jbshan, mtaylor and Canute 3 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
