Guns construction on La Toulonnaise Artesania Latina kit.

[Bill Hudson]

I have a La Toulonnaise Artesania Latina kit setting in my closet for quite  long time.  I have questions on how the cannons are supposed to be built.

I think we'd need more info.  Maybe a photo or two of the gun barrels and the carriages.

hello,

 

Here is a photo of the 18-pounder carronades that equip the model of La Toulonnaise at the Musée de la Marine in Paris.

I don't know what kind of parts come in the kit, and you may be limited in the detail, but the work on La Créole 1827 by archjofo might serve as some inspiration.

Kind of got ahead of myself. Yes I should put together pictures of the kits guns and poor instructions.  

Thanks all

Bill Hudson
