Hi Rich,

It's hard to find any good or legit source of information how this chamber cannon/ bombard should look in Dutch/Swedish vessel.
No proper drawings or plans exist for that kind of vessel.
Model, which unfortunately I've choose it's based on cardboard model. Great design and publication, but just as cardboard model.
I had this idea to convert it to wooden... which I did.

After few years, when I actually started proper research I found out that design of the ship has quite few flaws and that's most likely doesn't really match to 1627.
...but it was too far to skip the project.

Ok.... long story... short :)
I'm not even sure if this kind f vessel had chamber gun/ bombard... but it was as a part of the model, which is my base so I've decided to include this cannon.

I was thinking about the look of this kind of cannon... and I was looking at some other vessels, wrecks, publications, etc....

Stephan already mentioned one. W. zu Mondfeld.

Then I saw Mary Rose wrecked discovery and spoked wheels were in use already, so I didn't have any doubts it was possible (I was thinking also on solid wheels)

I found some other variations as well...

So in fact... and with honest... bombards on my model are made as mix of few variants :)

Thank you for the background and time that you took to post it. It triggered my mind that I had seen this old type of cannon but did not associate it with naval usage. I had seen a video on the guys making and firing their reproduction which is a hoot! Rich (PT-2)
 
Hi All,

So I've manage to make last to pieces of decoration son this vessel ROTF
Two "soldier" heads... or whatever they should be ROTF

Carvings made one again from Laotian boxwood.

Only last few details missing... and I will be able to call the build complete ;)

Fantastic work Mati,

What is the material of your candle in the latern?
What will be your next build?
 
Thank you @Steef66 , @PT-2 and @Maarten

My candle is done from candle wax ROTF just kidding... ROTF
It's made of cigarette rolling paper and wick is just a piece of rope.

I'm not sure what will be my next build... I have to really deeply re-think and find some really well documented ship :)
I love Dutch vessels... so it might be another one... but with much better documentation. We will see... because for sure I will build another Dutch ship.
I have also pile of wood already processed for La Belle in 1:24... so maybe for a change ROTF


Ok my Friends :)

THE END

This day has come :) Model is finally completed.
After many years of resting under the cover, I've managed to tie last knot :)

I would like to thank you All for many likes and warm comments BeerBeerBeerBeerBeer

I would like to thank you for many interesting discussions, where we could expand our knowledge or discover new facts.
Thank you Stephan and Kiril for you most participation!

Special thank to @Ab Hoving for his precious comments and for sharing his massive knowledge.


So at that stage I would like to share some final "shots" of Papegojan :)

Enjoy... and hopefully see you soon! :)

It is very evident that you put long hours of dedicated precise building to produce such a fine result. Beautiful to see and explore all of the minute details. Rich (PT-2)
 
Your pictures, your precise work, skills and eye for details made this a stunning work to watch. No, thank you for sharing this with us.
Looking out for your next build. Hopefully a Dutch model. There are a lot to find.
 
I am in love with your modeling "style" - Congratulation for finalizing this beauty
A very big advertisment for dutch ships

and also many thanks from my side to @Ab Hoving , for the hints and tipps and also the offer to help in the future task

I am looking forward to see your next build (and building log) - maybe already with starting the reserach work, which is also highly interesting
