I was looking at drawing this trunnion carronade ( https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-86768 ) as a possibility For Lapwing when I get back to her. But it turned out that it was a poorly dimensioned sketch and the carronade is too wide for trunnion supports to fit on the slide and bed. I could have made those wider but decided to put the mount under the barrel as per more normal carronades. I also decided to do a 3D version which is something that has been outside my comfort zone.

 

The results so far:

The barrel was built in sections indicated by the different colours.

And the mount was merged into the section of barrel.

Drawings and perhaps an STL file later, decisions about what to include and angles still to be made.

Added a few fiddly bits, I think it's pretty much done.

And about how it fits in Lapwing:

Just for the heck of it, here are 4,6,9,12,18,24 and 32 pounders in a row:

Just a matter of re-scaling based on caliber.
