USS BONHOMME RICHARD - POF - Cross Section in Pear - 1:48 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Uwek]

Thanks for the info. Would the Americans use the French style?

I tried to research a little bit more about this question.

The sketch you showed in post #37 is also shown in this publication "The Constitution Gun Deck" (a 1983 Naval Historical Center publication), which was / is an american ship.

Although the Bonhomme Richard was french before, the ship gunnery was completely changed, so I am pretty sure, that they also changed the tools and did not use the french original ones.....
so maybe one of our US-friends can explain this detail more

Thanks - a few errors, so it would not win any comps, but for me its about the “meditation” while building.
