...Thank you Daniel. I am having a good time making these cannon and pumps.Very nice detail at such a small scale!
Good afternoon Peter. Cannon rigging…..getting depressed just thinking about itA nice nailing pattern on the pump, Grant.
And some nice ‘almost finished’ guns …… waiting for the rigging.

By my count you will be reminded eight more times. Each one a misery….and I need two of you reminding me…![]()

For that Heinrich you owe me a few beers in Melkboss!Man, you guys never learn. After 3 cannons on each side (one as a starter, the second as refinement and the third as the final product), you have proven that you can build and rig a cannon. No need to repeat the exercise 30 times more - we believe you!
And to rub it in. Guess how many cannons De Zwane will have ... yep ... six!![]()

That's no problem!For that Heinrich you owe me a few beers in Melkboss!.
Hi GrantGood morning. I’m going to have to increase my SOS time as there is plenty activity here at the moment- very cool.
We are baby sitting my “grand puppy” for a while while Ashtyn and Micheal are on holiday in Mozambique.
