Your model is shaping up to be most certainly one of the finest iterations of this ship I have ever seen, including those in the USNA Museum collection! Thumbsup

Thank you so much Peter. Since I was not initially focused on making such a detailed model, there are some minor mistakes that is due to lack of planning and which the viewers may not notice however, overall I too am happy with the appearance of the model.

I'm working on a prototype carriage for testing. Then I will start mass production.

Because I wasn't happy with what I did before, I created a table that showed me how I should move the router bit in order to give the appropriate shape to the rear part of the carriage, which was difficult to make, and I milled accordingly. Thus, I achieved a more suitable profile. I can say that I acted like a CNC machine in a way. :)

I continue to build gun carriages. I spend a lot of time because there are so many details. I drilled holes on the bases to represent the bolts, I glued the gun beds onto the bases, I am making the carriage truckles out of wood because I dont have the tools or skills to make them out of metal on this scale, they won't be very visible anyway.
