All I need now is the boat. Based on the plans for 42' Longboat Armed for War 1834 by A.N.C.R.E The next project...A beginning.

Couldn't help myself and had to start with the fun bits. Made from 19mm brass bar stock. Blackend with Birchwood Brass Black and finished with Carnauba Wax.

Had to do more than a like. That is a beautiful cannon barrel, WELL DONE.

Keep in mind that those boats were originally designed in french inches, and thus will be a little longer than English measurements, in case you are seeing some scaling discrepancies.

Thanks Rob. No problem though, the plans are direct from ANCRE and Im building it size for size. No scaling differances in this case.
