AL Colonial Schooner "Independence" by DocBlake - 5/16" scale

I finished up the cannons. The carriages are bloodwood with boxwood trucks. The cap squares are cardstock blacked with a Sharpie and CA'd in place.

These guns are 3 pounders. At this small size, and given the model is being presented Admiralty style, I won't rig the. After fixing them in place, all that's left is to install the anchors and finish up the swivel guns.
