Looks terrific, Karl. How did you hold the ballast together? Diluted white glue?

 

Ballast stones mixed with quick sanding base as an adhesive.

Wow I have no words... This ship is absolutely amazing and the shipyard modeling technique is my favourite. The coolest part I think it is is the stern quarters. How did you drilled all those moldings and fittings? I have a small electric driller with modeling tools but if like to learn more how to do them. Stunning model!

Hello Alan.

 

French naval cannons in the 18th century were so rigged.

 

The thick (red marked) rope in picture 1 caught the recoil of the cannon with the mount.

 

Mark commented that correctly. Thanks a lot for this.

 

regards

 

Karl
