There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

And there were a lot of variants for those carriages! Wood, iron, for shore mounts. I think it may only been standardized by ship class and that's iffy. I burned a lot of time looking at them a few years ago.

I've quite a few very good reference drawings of cannons and carriages, late 1700's-1870 or so. I'll gather and scan.

Smashing aawesome! Maybe we ought to create a "Pre-Dreadnought" parts sheet, will all the drawn equipment collected for easy reference? I'll contribute my boats, and will add an updated sheet!

You are indeed correct, though I intend on making at least one got two mounts for each gun, the shore battery ones included.

Extra source material would be glorious CraigH

The next ones to be added will be a few generic British and french cannon plus maybe a vase bomb or two

Misc. Ship's Boats and Guns

These are a few Ship's Boats and Guns I've used from some of the ships I've done. Call them "generic" but they are from very good source material...I unfortunately don't have time at the moment to dig up proper titles for them.

Somewhere I've plans for most of the Ericson and Eads Monitor Turret interiors and support structures. Maybe this weekend I can find them to compliment the Ceberus Turret.

Found a few dozen ship's boats drawings from a couple Chappelle books, ditto on a number of USN Canons and carriages.

Thanks Craig!

I'm assuming the Wampanoag's gun is a 8" Parrot rifle on an iron carriage?

Redondo,
I believe so: 1 × 60-pounder (27 kg) rifled pivot gun. Will need to dig out the reference book to verify. Ditto on that tiny pivot...that book's right in front of me but I should be out the door already for work.

The boats are all from Naval Inst. Press publications or "Anatomy of the Ship" Went digging over the past several weeks and found a few I'd forgotten I had...goldmine!
