Guns for HMS Victory 1:48 scale


Recommended Posts

The Lumberyard (at dlumberyard.com) has 1/4" scale cast pewter cannon barrels for both medium 12-pounders and long 12-pounders, which ought to cover your Victory needs quite well. He even has 24-pounders if you wanna go down a deck. But the two 68-pounder smashers are another matter ...

Nacioffi,

 

Further to Druxey's  comment, if  you do not have a lathe, purchase one of each size barrel, that you require and then cast your own in resin or pewter.  It is not terribly difficult, it will save a lot of money, and it really is gratifying.  Careful to get good quality, scale, proper era  barrels in the right caliber.

Three sources are The Art of Ship Modeling, TFFM Vol. 2 and Euryalus 1803, Vol 2.  Each is a bit different than the other, but all three work.

My preference of course is the last, because it uses a single piece mold, not two part split mold, thus not parting line down the middle of the barrel.

I am sure there are other viable sources that other members will hopefully post for you.
