24-pdr bronze gun from Le Fleuron 1729 by Garward - FINISHED - 1:24 - second version


Recommended Posts

Garward,

 

where is that diorama coming from? It is extremely realistic and very instructive. Is this a kit? Can you give us more details?

 

Thanks

Yves

 

The model about which you ask, isn't model from a kit. It is model of an artillery post of the known French modeller of Alain Fosse. This photo I downloaded long ago from an old forum the Arsenal. Unfortunately, after forum modernization the Arsenal I have no address of this photo at a new forum http://5500.forumactif.org/

Best regards,

Garward

The drawing of a 24-pound bronze gun of Le Fleuron on the scale of 1:24 (it is made on the basis of the drawing on the scale of 1:48 of the monograph Le Fleuron of Gerard Delacroix). With production of it and several more drawings in M 1:24 I was helped by my colleague of Igor Kapinos, whose models are also presented on MSW 2.0 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/album/208-swedish-privateer/ - a gold medal on the Cup of Universities (St. Petersburg, 2011).
