Richard E Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 3 minutes ago, Murdo said: Did the crew row it to the target then swing round and fire the cannon? Yes, they would work in a group and would try to manoeuvre towards the rear of their target so they could fire on the ship's exposed rear quarter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 That must have been quite daring to head straight at the enemy and then turn about to fire having to be so close as well beefy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Looking very, very nice. Glad to see that the rudder can be operated remotely, just wouldn't want to be anywhere near the tiller when that cannon is needed. Stuart 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubz Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Today I took the final pictures and call this build finished 🙂 Great kit from Master Korabel which was a lot of fun. Thanks for all the nice comments and the many "Likes". It's always a great pleasure to be "accompanied" during the building process 🙂 cheers Dirk Edited October 4, 2020 by Dubz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
