U dusted it off and took another picture

The instructions call for installing the rudder hinges next.
Would these be installed before the coppering or in top of the copper.
In addition, the factory opening isn't large enough to allow the rudder to turn more the about 10 degrees.
Is the front of the rudder rounded or beveled. Nothing indicated on the plans

I want to do rigging on the cannons. The plans just show them glued to the deck. I sent an email to Jokita Ltd for the appropriate sizes for the blocks and hooks. Who knows if I will ever hear back.

Assuming her armament was all 32 pounder Carronades, based on the drawing from Dupin the running tackle blocks were likely about 6" long. The rope would be about 2" circumference and the breech rope would be about 5 inch circumference. There is good information on tackle for long guns, but I have never been able to find definitive data on Carronade rigging. If anyone can share a source on this information that would be great. I could not find info in Falconer, Dupin, or elsewhere in other than drawings, so far.
Thanks
Allan

Interesting that the eyebolt and ring bolt go all the way through the bulwark; something I’ve always tried to avoid doing on my models.

I believe they were 8 pounders

I saw something similar on Olha Batcherov's recent video. Interesting but beyond my abilities
