LE FLEURON 1729 1:48 scale - Randy Halter [COMPLETED BUILD]

I am a big fan of your craftsmanship, Randy. Great job! in my observations, I found a small but very important mistake. The way you are breeching the guns is a Brits (British) method. The Continental breeching line goes thru the hole in a carridge. Take a look at the images.
