Kurt Johnson Posted June 22, 2017 #1 Posted June 22, 2017 Does any one know what scale the Model Shipways Naval Smoothbore kit (MS4004) is supposed to be? The website says 1:24, but the box picture says 1:16 scale. I want to pick one up for something quick to do. Kurt thibaultron and Canute 2 Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey
MEDDO Posted June 23, 2017 #2 Posted June 23, 2017 Not really sure at this point. The box has both scales an inch or so apart. And the instructions inside say 1:24 mtaylor, thibaultron and Canute 3 Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

Kurt Johnson Posted June 23, 2017 Author #3 Posted June 23, 2017 Maybe I can answer my own question. I know this kit is based on the old Marine Models kit and I found a picture. It’s listed as 1/2 inch (1/24) on the box. Canute, mtaylor and thibaultron 3 Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey
thibaultron Posted June 23, 2017 #4 Posted June 23, 2017 1/24th, I built one. Canute and mtaylor 2 Ron Thibault Shipjack Carrie Price from Pyro kit, with upgraded detailing and history. Going From A 2D Drawing To A 3D Printed Part Tutorial
DocBlake Posted June 23, 2017 #5 Posted June 23, 2017 What size cannon does this represent. Looking at the size compared to the bulwarks, I'd guess a 9 pounder? thibaultron, Canute and mtaylor 3 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!

Kurt Johnson Posted June 23, 2017 Author #6 Posted June 23, 2017 The barrel is 4 1/4 inches so it could be a 9 pounder. Canute, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey
DocBlake Posted June 25, 2017 #7 Posted June 25, 2017 Good to know. I'm working on a 1/24 scale Triton cross section that needs 2 nine pounders.

Kurt Johnson Posted June 25, 2017 Author #8 Posted June 25, 2017 You could get one for the barrel and make casings. I'm thinking of remaking the carriage out pear. mtaylor, Canute and thibaultron 3 Member: Ship Model Society of New Jersey
MEDDO Posted June 29, 2017 #9 Posted June 29, 2017 I have this kit and am also thinking of replacing the supplied carriages with some type of wood. Not sure why they would be cast (using term loosely) metal. Canute, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Michael Shipwrights of Ohio Current Build: ...

DocBlake Posted June 30, 2017 #10 Posted June 30, 2017 I'd replace the metal with pear, red heart or bloodwood. mtaylor, thibaultron and Canute 3 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution!
