Roter Löwe 1597 by Ondras71 - scala 1/60

Great work on the breeching - even the knot the rope is connected to the eyebolt is correct made. Gérard Delacroix mentioned this detail once at Karls building log

French ship cannons, 36pdr, 1779 [COMPLETED BUILD]

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and likes. Update Change of ropes, with the correct direction of impact according to Boudriot's drawing. Karl I believe that the carriage tackle that you marked are outhaul. The restraint cable is the one that passes through the carriage sides and...

These gratings are flush with the deck, so the guns were able to roll over the grating without a problem

Hello Uwek, I'm a bit perplexed by a lack of flashes under the grates, sorry if I can't understand certain words due to translate

The top of the grating is on the same height like the top of the planks
I think I recognized this

Hello Frank. I was discussing with Ab Hoving the laying of the gratings on the deck of the warship. See entry 71..:)

In that case your gratings should not protrude above the deck. That is to accommodate the guns. In merchants the gratings were laid into the coamings of the hatch.

Sorry Ab Hoving, my perplexity is to understand how a grid can hold the weight of a cannon, I have nothing to say to the modeler that is clear, Thanks
 
The problem is that the design of this model is based on very little historical evidence, as I warned earlier. Read my lips: not the modelmaker is making mistakes here, but the designer did. Either the deck is too narrow or the gratings are too wide, or the size of the gun is exaggerated and maybe all three of them. Of course a grating cannot hold a cannon, but imagine what happens if the wheels of a guncarriage, thrown back by the recoil of the shot hits a coaming. My answer was right ( confirmed by many authentic models) but reality does not match with this design. The gun’s breeching only allowed the carriage to roll back up to the grating, not over it.

Thanks for your answer, worthy diagnosis, I agree with everything
 
Maybe should repeat my warning not to build models from the book 'Risse von Schiffe des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts'. Every plan in that book is wrong and absolutely worthless. I am seldom so ruthless in my judgement and believe me, in my beginning years I built every model from that book myself, but after a long study and years of experience I came to this conclusion: burn that book, the plans have nothing to do with any (Dutch) ship! You can waste your time much better with good plans :-).

Daar is geen woord Frans bij!
(That's some clear language.)
Thanks for your warning.
 
Thank you all for the interesting, ever-recurring debate about the quality of the plans and the effort to build a good model based on them. Lessons for other builders. Exclamation-MarkThumbs-UpSleep
