I decided to have a different approach to the carronade than cpt.stedders,as I hav'nt had any experiance with gs.I'e used two pieces of match sticks as the mounting for the barrel.and I made up the retaining brackets out of some old fittings.

Nice collection of left over there Karl, including those orrid plastic hearts and blocks, Ive still yet to discard them from my Bounty, I do however have replacments (wooden) I do hope this build gives us WOODEN blocks!
Its probably worth mentioning about saving everything you have previously build, scraps of wood ect, you never know.
