BritByker Posted November 25 #1 Posted November 25 My kit came with brass carronades and wheeled carriages. I see on this forum that many are replacing these with carrondades on slides? But my search today yielded some images of carronades on wheeled carriages, so I believe they were historically correct as well. Does anyone know which was correct on the PDN? Thanks, Keith GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2 Quote
Azzoun Posted November 25 #2 Posted November 25 (edited) If you're talking about the Model Shipways kit, the brass cannon is over scale - I've scratched my own but the photos look accurate from my research. I did make mine on sleds for my own artistic license. Joshua Edited November 25 by Azzoun mtaylor 1 Quote
GrandpaPhil Posted November 26 #3 Posted November 26 (edited) I fielded wheeled carriages on mine. Chapelle’s “The Search for Speed Under Sail” showed them. Here’s the link to my build log, which shows my sources: Edited November 26 by GrandpaPhil mtaylor 1 Quote Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)
