[Bazzg]

I am building Hms victory 1/96 scale Shipyard the carriages are 20mm in length what size Cannons do you recommend to get 

[Richard Griffith]

Bazzg, your scale dictates the size. 1/96 is also known as 1/8 inch to the foot.

HMS Victory normally carried a range of different cannons (and carriages to match).

 

Does this help?

A quick search and simple description shows that at the time of Trafalgar in 1805, Victory carried the following.  

•  
• Gundeck: Thirty Blomefield 32 pounders  9' 6" long barrel
• Middle gundeck: Twenty-eight 24 pounders  9' 6" long barrel
• Upper gundeck: Thirty 12 pounders   8' 6" long barrel
• Quarterdeck: Twelve 12 pounder  8' 6" long barrel
• Forecastle: Two 12 pounders 9' long  barreland + Two 68 pounder  carronade 5' 2" long   barrel
•  The carriages of the 24 and 32 pounders would be 72" long but the carriages of the 12 pounders approximately 67" long.   Scaling down, the 32 pounder carriages would be 19mm long and the 12 pounders 17.7mm long.  The carronade mountings are of course a different design altogether.
