HM Cutter Alert 1777 [COMPLETED BUILD]

[mtbediz1]

Continued to prepare the guns.

 

[mtbediz1]

Still working on the guns.

 

[mtbediz1]

Rigging of the gun carriages starts.

 

[mtbediz1]

All the gun breeching ropes attached to the bulwarks and I started to attach the gun side tackles. The hooks, rings and eyebolts were made from brass wire.

 

[mtbediz1]

Gun side tackles and their rope coils have been done and the gun carriage traversing tackles are started.

Very good work - and the gun drill with the gunners and seamen was working very well - all gun tackles are looking the same

Gun rigging has finally been completed. The other deck fittings have not been glued yet.

Rails and swivel gun pedestals have been done. I made the swivel gun yokes out of brass wire and blackened with chemical.

Great technique, Mustafa, I will remember this one. Your alert gets more beautiful every day.
