USS Constellation 1797 Build Log...

That's a very clean and neat job, congratulations. Are you also going to include the pulley systems (gun tackles) used to move the gun carriages forward? Those rope coils you placed on the ground must actually be extensions of the ropes in these pulley systems. I think the photo should make clear what I mean.

@mtbediz1 Thank you for guiding me. I've been following similar topics on other sites, and they all include reels. Unfortunately, the manufacturer, Artesania, hasn't included enough reels in the set. This means I'll have to make my own reels from scratch. But I needed to start somewhere, and that would be by making reels.
 
I made the pulleys. Since the manufacturer Artesania didn't provide enough hinges, I ordered them online. When they arrive, I will attach the gun carriages to the pulleys with the hinges and connect them to the body. But I didn't sit idle and started making the gun caps.
