allanyed Posted July 12, 2021 #145 Posted July 12, 2021 Christian, regarding your July 4 post on cannon you said you would go with "normal" guns. Do you mean guns from the kit? If you want to have cannon that actually look like cannon of that era for French vessels, you can have them made by a 3D printer at a reasonable price. I provided a drawing of two cannon sizes in STL format (I had someone help me as I had NO experience with this kind of drawing) to a small printer company and he made me 20 cannon for $8 total, including postage. I bet there are some folks that could help you locally with the drawings if you do not know how to do this yourself and there a lot of local small printer folks that could probably make them for you in black resin (which was the best after we tested several materials) for a very low price. Even at a very small scale it is easy to include the cipher and tapered trunnions and other tiny details and they will all show up on the finished barrels. J'espere que ca aide!!
