dc-ocker Posted April 24, 2014 #277 Posted April 24, 2014 Denis (and other SOS builders) This is more of a naval warfare question than a build/model question. the cannon that are behind the deck partitions point across the main deck. What is/was their purpose? were they re-positioned to replace some of the outer cannon or were they used to shoot at enemy boarders? trevor Quote
pirozzi Posted April 24, 2014 #278 Posted April 24, 2014 Hi Trevor, The guns you are referring to were called "Murdering Guns". They were usually loaded with anti-personell schrapnel and fired across the ship's own decks to kill and mame boarding parties. I can only imagine they got some of their own crew as well. Vince P.

Bindy Posted April 27, 2014 #282 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) One of the good things about being offline a few days is that I get to come back and catch up on all the logs of different ships, and different builders. The REALLY good thing about that is it allows me to truly appreciate it when I see the photos of the genuine Master Builders and you are most certainly one of those Denis. Your Sovereign of the Seas looks just incredible! (And I love the pictures/maps on the walls behind too haha) Edited April 27, 2014 by Bindy DenPink 1 Quote Completed Build: Bregante Il Leudo Merchant Launch - Mamoli - 1:72
DenPink Posted April 28, 2014 Author #283 Posted April 28, 2014 Hi Bindy You are to kind with them words ( I got a clip across the back of my head when the wife seen the photos ha ha, why did you not clean up before you took the photos ). The maps are of some of the counties round Warwickshire, they are coming down soon to make way for some shelving. I got them when I was doing family history. Denis.

aliluke Posted April 28, 2014 #284 Posted April 28, 2014 Your model is amazing Denis. The rigging - just looking at - does my head in. I can't imagine how you maintain control over that many lines.

DenPink Posted May 1, 2014 Author #286 Posted May 1, 2014 Hi All Sorry no photos of the SOS yet. I have just received my new Baby from Jim Byrnes ( model machines ) a new Table Saw. She was delayed for about 5 days as the stork just had to go to New Zealand Customs. After my Baby and I got home I just had to see if she was OK after a long flight from the USA to New Zealand , first job was unwrap her (take her out of the box) second job was to make sure she had not soiled her nappy (polystyrene cover to see if any damage) all OK. I have got to say that she is the best table saw I have ever seen, the craftsmanship is just out of this world, Very high quality materials, very high standard of workmanship and I can go on and on. The best thing is Baby Sawdust is getting a sister (she is on her way to New Zealand now) her name is Disco Sandy (Disc Sander) cannot wait. Later they will get a brother Thick Bob the thickness sander. If anyone is thinking of getting a Table Saw, Disc Sander or a Thickness Sander you have only one firm to go to and that is Jim Byrnes Model Machines, you will not be disappointed.
