Very interested in this one.Are you proposing to use the same carriage profile for both Victory and SOS?
Kind regards
Nigel Hi Nigel, the answer is yes because they are the same scale with the same bits, and the SOTS was the fore runner of the Victory, so it will save money developing the enhancement, and I can spread the orders across the two vessels  makes sense? Thanks for declaring your interest Kind regards Mike This is what the carraige looks like( I have since changed the eyes) it is a bigger model for my Endeavour:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

GUN CARRAIGE PROJECT Here are some comparison photos as promised, if we get enough members to express an interest, we then need to decide what is in the kit so that we can obtain a price Kind regards Mike MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Mike,
Looking at the comparison pics,the one thing that becomes apparent is the possible difference in axle to cannon height.Have you checked that the distance from deck to cannon is the same?
Kind Regards Nigel

Kind Regards Nigel Hi Nigel, yes I have, there is no problem but I will check it again to be on the safe side, because the ones I order will be lazer cut to the exact measurements I give them, they will not be available from any other wholsaler or distributor. there will be those amongst us who say they can get the carriages from x y z, but they will not these will be excusive to me, for the Forum members, available for VICTORY and SOTS builders. So far we have 2 people who have declared their interest, with me that is 3 we need alot more than that to make this project work.

Hi Mike
It is early days yet,and as the cannons wont be needed till much later in the build,we will just have to see what happens.
Kind Regards Nigel

Kind Regards Nigel Hi Nigel, I am sorry to disagree with you,but the carriages will take some time to plan and prepare then manufacture plus The Victory require the same size which is more advanced than the SOTS. If you have changed any of the deck heights on your model they may not fit your model.

Kind regards Mike Hi Mike I see what you mean Mike,that's a fair comment.I haven't changed the deck heights,but tweaked everything to ensure the supplied cannons would work out exactly in the centre of the gunports,allowing for the 3mm camber I am building into the decks.This is allowing for different wheel sizes front and rear of the carriages. Kind Regards Nigel

ISSUE 38 Hi all, I have fitted the parts sent with this issue, I used mini long bars for clamping, I steamed the stern panel and while wet I placed it between 2 bowls to obtain the small curve required. Aliphatic adhesive as usual was used here are the photos of the process:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Alan, its just an idea at the moment, this is where 4 culverins were situated in round gun ports. I will see what is coming next, to see if I add or take away, thank you for your positive comments as usual Kind Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
