French ship cannons, 36pdr, 1779 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Uwek]

I love the scale of 1:12 in the meantime - you can work so accurate and show really all details of the carpenter´s work.
No hiding, no fakes - simple technical correct joints etc.

Hello Karl,

I realize you are working at a larger scale - but when you add in details that are omitted at smaller scales you demonstrate great precision and skill. Your meticulous work is inspiring. Fantastic!

 

[DARIVS ARCHITECTVS]

Wunderschön!

 

[Bryian]

Hi Karl,

sensational work as usual.

 

[pianoforte]

Absolutely overwhelming.

 

[Uwek]

IT is looking so realistic - like scale 1:1
Absolut realistisch

Your pursuit of scale in the details is commendable. This is going to be a gallery show piece as well as for your own. I can't say enough about this section model. Rich (PT-2)

It looks like your outhaul rigging is waiting for a firing day. Keep you ear protection on and watch out for the muzzle blast and powder smoke to fill the room.. Really a convincing model that you have put together scratch. Rich (PT-2)

 

[Iterum]

Great Job you do, Karl!

 

[Uwek]

Just came accross the drawing from Boudriot (Volume II of the 74 gun ship) showing the detail with the additional ammunition


Great job my friend

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and likes.

Update
Part 9

Production and assembly of the blocks on the cannon.
I would have had to work on the hooks a bit,
grind the tip etc.
I just forgot, now it's like that.

Your crafting of the gun tackle blocks and hooks with lines is OUTSTANDING!!! They bring the carriage to life, accompanying the various types of shot ready for loading. This is a gallery production Rich (PT-2)

 

[pianoforte]

Hallo Karl, absolutely admirable, true craftsmanship. You can't get enough of it.

 

[Uwek]

Wonderfull work - it is looking like a real 1:1 gun......
