Thank you KenzoSato for your interest.
Now Guys,saving money is not always my aim,because you must buy what is available at any given time. However as for more Guns,these Perry`s 28mm 25 Pounders would serve well with my fancy taking shape to re-mount them and others besides too on scratch built Gun Carriages. These cannon actually need drilling out so in theory one could make working Guns. All you need is black powder,and someone brave enough to spark it off.For obvious reasons,that is one tutorial I will not be doing.
Up grading to a larger size is not really a problem.
What does one buy first on building a small ship? Do you buy the Guns first,or start to build the ship without any? Where does one build a decent size ship for fun? Well a Shipyard is good.
Or a very large 6 foot Craft table where you can build it. Delivered a few days ago,this two and a half foot wide table will give me more spreading out room,but Mrs B,said I must be more tidy.
I knew I should have never lifted that brush.
Talking of tidying up ,there are lots that I will finish off before tackling such a project,but even though still shelved materials for it can be gathered. Like the anchors below.
All you need do is twist them using two pairs of plyers. Paint them and add the rope. Job Done.
Even the ships wheel can be converted for use.
The cost 9 pence each for a ships anchor is magic. BB
