Richard44 Posted July 28, 2020 #1 Posted July 28, 2020 Hi, I'm just starting to build Victory's Pegasus and I'm not happy with the quality of the supplied cannons. The cannons are 6pdrs with a length of about 32mm. Any suggestions please as to replacements.

gjdale Posted July 28, 2020 #2 Posted July 28, 2020 Richard, Check out Chuck’s offerings in the Syren Ship Model shop: https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/turned-brass-cannon.php Also, Chris Watton is developing some for his Vanguard Models range, though I don’t think they are ready for sale/distribution just yet. mtaylor 1 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout
Richard44 Posted July 28, 2020 Author #3 Posted July 28, 2020 Hi Grant, Yes, Chuck has cannons that are close to the size I'd like, so I may well go with those. Chris is developing a set of cannons, but his smallest is 9pdr, not the 6pdr that Pegasus has. Cheers gjdale and mtaylor 2 Richard Next build: Completed builds: AL's Endeavour, Corel's Bellona, Amati's Xebec, Billing's Roar Ege, Panart's Armed Launch Ships' Boats - Vanguard 1:64 and Master Korabel 1:72 Alexander Arbuthnot, Christiaan Brunings, Pevensey all by World of Paperships, card HMS Pegasus by Victory Captain John Smith's Shallop by Pavel Nitikin Rumpler "Taube" 1911 by HMV, card
Richard44 Posted July 28, 2020 Author #4 Posted July 28, 2020 Ok, extreme slackness on my part. I hadn't bothered to read the detail on Chuck's website, where it specifically says "These cannon also fit the Amati Victory models Pegasus and Fly kits very well." So, I'm about to order some, that's if Chuck is shipping to Australia. Edit. Ordered. catopower, mtaylor, VTHokiEE and 1 other 4 Richard Next build: Completed builds: AL's Endeavour, Corel's Bellona, Amati's Xebec, Billing's Roar Ege, Panart's Armed Launch Ships' Boats - Vanguard 1:64 and Master Korabel 1:72 Alexander Arbuthnot, Christiaan Brunings, Pevensey all by World of Paperships, card HMS Pegasus by Victory Captain John Smith's Shallop by Pavel Nitikin Rumpler "Taube" 1911 by HMV, card
gjdale Posted July 29, 2020 #5 Posted July 29, 2020 Good news Richard - just be prepared for shipping to take around 6 - 8 weeks instead of the usual 2 weeks. It will get here - eventually. mtaylor and Richard44 2 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout
