GrandpaPhil Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share #393 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Thank you all very much for the comments and the likes! It took me until cannon 8 (7 long and 1 medium) to recall my methodology that I used for the cannons on the Prince de Neufchatel. It works much better if I put the main contour on the barrel and THEN put the rings on instead on adding the contour of the barrel, ring by ring. Number six has major issues. I know this. It will also not be particularly visible as it belongs on the upper gundeck and will be covered with the ship’s boats.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #394 Posted January 19, 2020 All ten of the long 12’s are made and one of the medium 12’s. The other medium 12 is over half done. The first of the short 12’s (1 of 6) has a cascabel and a breech.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share #396 Posted January 19, 2020 I am glad that you like the carving. I learned from this forum, with the learn to carve group project. I finished the second medium 12 and carved the first two short 12’s. The third is nearly done, but I broke it and now it needs to dry before I can put the last band on and bore it out.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share #399 Posted January 20, 2020 One carronade. These are a lot trickier to carve than a normal cannon barrel. I got to use a normal sized drill bit to bore it out.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share #400 Posted January 21, 2020 The remainder of Victory’s artillery are roughed out. Now, the barrels need final sanding, trunnions and the eyebolts on the breech. Next up, they need carriages to sit on.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share #403 Posted January 25, 2020 I made my trunnions. I made the pivot points that the carronades mount into. I now have to make a decision about my cannons. The eyebolts at scale would be too small to thread a breech rope through unless I use thread like I did on the gunport lids. If I don’t want to use eyebolts then I can make dummy eyebolts and wrap the breech rope around the cascabel, French style (yes this is a British ship, hence the debate).

GrandpaPhil Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share #408 Posted February 6, 2020 The cannon barrels are painted black. I’ll add the faux metallic effects to make them look like cast iron after I put them on their carriages. I have been cutting out pieces for the long 12’s carriages.

GrandpaPhil Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share #418 Posted February 9, 2020 Thanks, OC! I assembled the carriages for the short twelves. While I wait for those to dry, I am going to start working on tracing out the sleds for the carronades. After they dry, I’ll paint them and then drill holes for the eyebolts. I’m using the Tichy HO scale eyebolts again due to the diameter of the thread I’ll need to stay in scale. They will be inside the hull, so I shouldn’t have problems with them breaking again. Just for the record, this will probably be the last sailing ship that I build, for myself, at this small of scale. The rest of mine will most likely be at 1/72, like the Prince de Neufchatel.
