Everyone thanks for the nice words and thumbs up.
Started with the 9 pounders, it’s still work in progress, just some pictures.

Added some more details to the 9 pounder gun carriages.
Good morning Boris. No comment! This is just superb. Cheers Grant

Thanks again for the thumbs up and response.
I have started to rig the 9 pounders
So came my little template in handy that I used with the other guns.
I also made the rest of the fittings for the guns
Below some pictures (everything is still loose and not final yet).

Good morning Boris. Your build is so good. Cannon detail outstanding. I think the white ships wheel is magic. It stands out in every photo and most ship wheels (especially on British ships get lost and hardly noticeable as the build progresses. Cheers Grant

Thanks to everyone for the comments and watching. It is been appreciated.
So we are moving on a bit, have started rigging the 9 pounders, the 4 on the starboard side are more or less ready apart from some minor details, all that remains are the gun on the port side, these have already been fitted with the restraining ropes i just have to make the roll-out hoists
Then the chapter guns is so far closed, and I can slowly start focusing on the last deck which I still have to plank and then the chapter stern will gradually come into sight.
Below a few pictures

Stephan,
Thanks for your response,
It did indeed took me some time to build the guns, but I had already prepared most parts when making the 18-pounders, with the exception of the blocks, which are smaller than on the 18-pounders, but also the jig I made earlier turned out to be a good help again, it enables me to do the same thing every time, so you can develop a feeling and it only gets easier.

Looking very good - secured for heavy sea
