Wow, SZKUTNIK, you’ve done it again! These are perfect replicas of the Croisic gun. Are you even able to print in a ver-de-gris colored resin?

Ahoy!
@Hubac's Historian -there is no resin for my printers in color VER-DE_GRIS.
We can print in colors grey or green. Then you have to paint yourself in color ver-de-gris.
We can print decorative barrels in larger sizes. Scale 1:24, 1:36, 1:48.
As if there was an interest in decorative barrels, we can think about a collection of decorative barrels (barrel+gun carriage) for example in scale 1:24 and/or 1:36. SOLEIL ROYAL, LE FLEURON, SAINT PHILIPPE, VASA…. and other.
NIGEL - sorry for confusing about cannons in your thread.

No. need to apologise Kris,stunning work
I would say though, grey is fine for my order.I plan on priming then painting in AK old bronze followed by Citadel Verdegris wash
Now thinking, how much work printed carriages would save me,mmmmmmmm
Kind Regards
Nigel
The devil on your shoulder says “do it, man!”
Yes Marc, boy do I know it. Already thinking about how to achieve faux boxwood using paints.Log on the go less than two months and already into full steam pimp my Soleil Royal
Kris do you have any images of a printed carriage?

@Nigel - especially for You price of the printed carriage is the same as for the barrel.
Price for 1 wooden carriage = 2 printed barrels.
Nigel - You wrote Kris do you have any images of a printed carriage? NO. Until now, everyone wanted wooden carriages.

In all seriousness, apart from the bulkheads and the decorations, and the gun barrels, you are essentially building this model from scratch. Really nice wooden carriages are nice, but are they always worth the effort?
The link appears to be dead, Kurt.
That worked! They’re nice. Small critique is that they don’t show any of the timbering lines that would be present on the carriage sides. One can engrave this, for the visible guns, but it’d be nice not to have to.
Hi Kris
Can you produce the carriages in one single part that include wheels,Quions and all detail with separate Trunnion caps.My idea being, paint,fit cannon and caps then ready to go?
If I am going to make it simple,I may as well make it VERY simple
Kind Regards

Those carriages look awesome!
Hi Kris
I remember you moulded the "breach " end as a separate piece with the resin casting but wasn't sure regarding 3D print.Now I know and it isn't an issue.What would a printed carriage comprise of?
I ask these questions on my log rather than via PM so readers know what choices would be available to them if they were interested in purchasing.
Thanks

Slowly but steadily progressing with the first layer of planking lower gundeck upwards.I normally can get away without any filler but had to use a thin layer in a few spots due to the massive inconsistencies in the plank material thickness.
The port side is complete.The top and area around the beak are all well beyond the finished line and will be trimmed to suit the rail sheer after the second layer of planking is in place.The 2 x 5mm lime I have coming from CMB should make the next layer somewhat easier.

lines look fabulous, Nigel!
Thanks Marc
Overall I am quite pleased so far given the "cut and shut" job on the kits structure.I have had to do a bit of sanding and packing of the the stock bulkheads to get pleasing lines.Real test will be when I take the model out of the jig and flip it upside down to plank the underneath.As to how much tweaking will be needed remains to be seen
What strikes me is how quickly you progress without any compromise in quality. Plus, I can't stop looking at the bulkhead. Your woodworking skills are astounding.
