74-Gun Ship Gun Deck by Jeronimo - FINISHED


Recommended Posts

Hello modeling friends.

 

Animated by the pictures by Gregory Franchetti

and the drawing by Jean Boudriot,

 

I try to build the three gun decks as a cross-sectional model on a scale 1/24.

First, I made an auxiliary construction four the mounting and alignment of the frames,

to strengthen them, the bar timbers and the deck beam girdes were installed,

the first gundeck was planked.

 

The whole  now has the required stability for the further interior design.

Very nice work indeed Karl;

 

you are off to a great start, keep it up! I look forward to seeing the rest of the project.

 

All the best,

Previously built models (long ago, aged 18-25ish) POB construction. 32 gun frigate, scratch-built sailing model, Underhill plans.

2 masted topsail schooner, Underhill plans.

 

Started at around that time, but unfinished: 74 gun ship 'Bellona' NMM plans. POB 

 

On the drawing board: POF model of Royal Caroline 1749, part-planked with interior details. My own plans, based on Admiralty draughts and archival research.

Thanks for the kind comments.

 

Part 2

 

Location of the gunports determined,

I moved the gun ports of the second deck a little inside,

the height of the gun deck is determined,

the framework is planked on both sides,

the deck beam of the first gun deck filted loosely.

Manufacture of the cannon barrels.

Instead of the tin casting process,

this time I used casting powder.

Advantage ower tin casting , considerably cheaper

and enormus weight reduction at this 1/24 scale.

Magnificent work, really!  Curious as to why you didn't deploy a train tackle for each carriage.  It's only one tackle each and it would make use of the rings midship.  They kind of stick out with nothing connected.

Karl,  The model is gorgeous.  As the drawings are from Boudriot, I assume it is a French 74.   I see some differences compared to English 74's, such as there are four tackles per gun on the lower deck versus three on the British 74's.  The British 74's had 32 pounders, and I think the French had 36's so maybe that is the reason for the difference.   Two training tackles would surely make it easier for the gun crew when they had to be used.

Beautiful job!

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU

Absolutely gorgeous!  This is a scratch build in your face like not many others. You did a great job on your build log. I happened to build a kit gundeck cutaway so I have a weakness for these. The triple deck just adds to the whole thing. It's really fun building at that scale. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your completion.
