1/96 Revell USS CONSTITUTION on the slipways (wip)

Thanks James :good: Hope you enjoy this... :beer

As I go along assembling the cannons, I'm placing them in empty med bottles & placing tape on them with part # which helps keep the small parts together until they are needed :eek:hyeah
 
Ok, I got bored so, started painting the gun deck hatch covers...

For some reason, my sail ships and cats do not get along. No matter how high the shelve is on the wall :bang head

My wife calls a bunch of anything a "pile", including water :blink
But I say you can't have to many cannon. Especially on an American Revolutionary War frigate :good:

They'll be right painted black.

There is a video on youtube showing how the large gundeck cannons were fired on the ship. It's nice because you can clearly see how the guns were rigged.

Hi Ed, The real ones were painted black and like bob stated black has many different shades so gunmetal will work fine.
This pic is of some cannon painted up, I did these barrels using gunmetal.
