Nice clean-up on the cannons. I appreciate your efforts with the scratch-building. I'm stretching my legs in that area as well and while it adds to the fun it also adds to the time. Learning curve is steep...and rocky...
Marc,Good Morning from South Carolina Paul.
My MS “Rattlesnake” arrived in the mail yesterday. Your build log is fantastically detailed and inspired me to join this forum. I am at about the same point with my first build: Artesania Latina’s latest version of their 1805 Swift Pilot Boat. Thank You for raising children who answer the call to serve their country (I have a son at Fort Bragg) You are clearly very Proud of Your Daughter ( I hope she approves of your work on the 6 pounders!) Good call on pre-staining before building the carriages: Like a woodorker cannot have enough clamps, a model builder cannot have too many tweezers: I have 3 pair on my bench now. My favorite pair gets its points dressed and sharpened on a regular basis. Find what works for YOU. The one tool that I kick myself for not buying earlier is an Optivisor: it has improved the quality of my work more than any single skill or tool I have obtained in my 40 years of Modeling. Keep up the great work!

She is finally adjusting to being back in the States. A very different pace for her coming from a forward deployed destroyer. I found out she didn't want to mention the cannons when she was here because she didn't want to interfere with the progress. She was way too busy to get involved in with the model. She is taking off in a couple weeks to attend a course at NWC in RI. When our youngest graduates HS in June, I'll be driving her down in her car to spend the summer with her. She'll end up being the Tereza's working party when her housing shipment arrives.Hope Your Lieutenant’s transition to her next posting is going well. Looking forward to your progress!
Thanks, I'll give that a try tonight.Добрый день. Подскажу: если в этом месте использовать пайку (стрелка), то места пайки не будет видно. Пайки будут спрятаны в руслах рек. А для создания колец используйте оправку. Например, сверло.View attachment 230117

Just tried it with one deadeye..... I think I'm going to rebuild all of them. The picture with 2 has the new one using your method on the bottom. The picture from the directions has the chain plate.... where should I solder those links?Добрый день. Подскажу: если в этом месте использовать пайку (стрелка), то места пайки не будет видно.

Thank you.Там, где нарисован рисунок, есть место пайки. Только после пайки место следует зачистить надфилем, чтобы не было видно пайки. А затем почерните его
