Gahm Posted June 8, 2018 #153 Posted June 8, 2018 You are on your way to another great model, Bob!

rafine Posted June 21, 2018 Author #155 Posted June 21, 2018 I've now gotten to work on various deck items. The first were the gratings and coamings for the hatches and the galley stack The gratings were done with boxwood grating kits from Syren. The coamings are boxwood strip. The galley stack was done with styrene tube. I also made the forward companionway from boxwood strip. The next order of business was to begin work on the guns and carriages. For the two long guns, I used the kit brass barrels and some left over carriages from the Lumberyard. I chose to mount the carronades on sleds, rather than the kit carriages, and made these up from boxwood strip.The carronade barrels are 3D printed pieces from Shapeways, and I am very pleased with them.The long guns and the first two carronades have now been mounted and rigged. I will be assembling the remaining guns and working aft from here. Lastly, I made up the forward windlass from boxwood strip and brass rod and strip.

MEDDO Posted June 21, 2018 #156 Posted June 21, 2018 Your work is excellent as always. I am wondering how those long guns are served. It seems like the first shot the recoil would hit the companionway and there doesn't seem like there is enough room to reload. Glad to see someone use the grating kit. They look great.

Guest Tim I. Posted June 22, 2018 #159 Posted June 22, 2018 Bob, Your carronades turned out great! What did you send to Shapeways to get them 3D printed? Thank you, Tim I. Quote
Gahm Posted June 22, 2018 #160 Posted June 22, 2018 Excellent work, Bob! Now you are on to the fun pieces . Your 3D printed carronades look very good. 3D printing seems to become a real alternative to some of the more traditional techniques.

rafine Posted June 22, 2018 Author #162 Posted June 22, 2018 Thanks so much Michael, Denis, Rich, Tim, Thomas, Joe and all of the "likes" for your generous comments and continuing interest in this build. I'm just getting back to feeling like myself and the encouragement has been much appreciated. Tim, the Shapeways carronades are a stock item shown on their website. They, and a number of of other pieces, are available in multiple scales. They are really nicely done, with mounting lugs, breech rings and cascabels predrilled for elevating screws.The prices are quite reasonable, as well. They have made me a believer.

rafine Posted July 17, 2018 Author #169 Posted July 17, 2018 Not all that much to report for two reasons: I've been out of town visiting family, and the 1/8" blocks that I need to rig the remaining carronades continue to be out of stock at Syren. I have made up all of the guns and was able to install only two more of them. I have also made and installed the main bitts and winch and the pumps. The pumps were done with boxwood strip, black paper bands and wire. The bitts are boxwood strip with shaped dowel and brass rod and strip for the winch.
