NAZGÛL Posted February 16, 2014 Author #784 Posted February 16, 2014 Cheers Mark! I started to experiment with the rigging. Hopefully I can simply it without destroying the realism to much. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa

NAZGÛL Posted February 19, 2014 Author #789 Posted February 19, 2014 Cheers fellas! I've mounted 4 cannons so far. Man did I underestimate the work that goes into miniature cannons! /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa
JanV Posted February 19, 2014 #790 Posted February 19, 2014 Good to know. and then you have skipped several details from the canon rigging NAZGÛL 1 Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard
NAZGÛL Posted February 19, 2014 Author #791 Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah, they have quite a complicated rigging according to the 1:10. I would not be able to keep a sence of scale. And the simplified rigging suits my no experience level better. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa
NAZGÛL Posted February 20, 2014 Author #792 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Hey all, here are pics of the first mounted cannons. I found it really hard to descide on the rigging an find a balance between accuracy and not destroying the sense of scale. Making these gave me many lessons and I'm pretty sure I will do it different next time. /Matti Edited February 20, 2014 by NAZGÛL Salty Sea Dog, marktiedens, hexnut and 6 others 9 Quote Billing Boats Vasa
Vivian Galad Posted February 20, 2014 #793 Posted February 20, 2014 But then, you got some fine pieces of artillery. Loved the finished canons, Matti.

NMBROOK Posted February 20, 2014 #794 Posted February 20, 2014 The cannons look great in place mate!!I think the rigging at 1/10 looks congested so at 1/75 I think it would be too much.It is made worse when the recoil arresting rope goes through the carriage,rather than to the breech(which is why I didn't call it a breaching rope ) Kind Regards Nigel NAZGÛL 1 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline
Hollander-jan Posted February 20, 2014 #795 Posted February 20, 2014 Matti, Your guns are amazing. Can't say anything else then really. It must have been hard and painstaking to make them as they are. I like them and I like the dark look of them. Jan NAZGÛL 1 Quote
