36-pounder French naval gun, 1750. 1:17 scale

[Ugo Crisponi]

Greetings from Sardinia Island, Italy.
This is my first post here. I would like to share my project, a 36lb naval gun from XVIII century.
When I bought the Mantua kit of this model I soon realized it was very inaccurate under so many aspects. After some researches I decided to save the gun, wheels and the deck, scratch-building all the rest. The final result is quite satisfing for me, at least compared to the starting kit.
Later on will post some pictures related to some steps in building this model. Unfortunatley didn't took many pictures while progressing the work.

Hello Ugo and welcome to MSW from the UK.

Very nice work on the gun, you have made it come alive.

Perhaps you will post something in the new members introduction thread and tell us about your interests?
