The hole for the trunnions may be drilled at right angles to the longitudinal center before turning the taper, or later on—provided you have some means of holding the work so that the longitudinal center is exactly horizontal. The drill used should be small enough to allow a drive fit. The bore is 5\/16-in. diameter, but it is not necessary to bore it out more than an inch or so. The vent patch can be silver-soldered onto the gun, or it can be riveted with small brass escutcheon pins countersunk and then filed smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThank you for looking Rose\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Model Plans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54804465941,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/7232\/products\/SHOP_1_f66a7d1f-a5e8-4763-86cd-976f8f8c0a53.jpg?v=1508335638"},{"product_id":"full-size-printed-plans-1781-british-8-inch-howitzer-scale-1-16-3-4-1ft-length-4-1-4-height-3-1-2","title":"Full size printed plans 1781 British 8-Inch Howitzer Scale 1\/16 (3\/4\"= 1ft)  Length 4 1\/4\"  Height 3 1\/2","description":"\u003cp\u003eFull size printed plans (NOT a kit model or material)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild an Historic Collector's Item\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1781 British 8-Inch Howitzer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFull size printed plans on a sheet 22” x 12” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFive page article with building notes and photos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale 1\/16 (3\/4\"= 1ft)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength 4 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 3 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy ROBERT H.

Technically, the upper part of the mount is the carriage,, and the lower. part, running on the traverse wheels, is the chassis. The front pintle and traversing wheels, allowed the gun to traverse through an arc of 180*. These guns are quite large in comparison to the small field the time, as the pieces of 6\/8-in. dia. bore fired a 6 3\/8shot.

Standing over 5 ft. tall and cast entirely of bronze, the mortar was fired at a very high angle at short range, dropping balls almost vertically behind enemy barriers. The mortars were often decorated with ornate designs of dolphins and the coats of arms of the rulers for whom they were made. They fired balls of stone or cases of small shot, and many mortars still show markings of stones fired in them. You can still find mortars of this type at Fort Ticonderoga, New York, West Point Military Academy, and the Colonial National Military Park at Yorktown, Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThank you for looking Rose\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Model Plans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54832738517,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/7232\/products\/SHOP_1_efe75387-d556-4d17-8263-75aa43de46c0.jpg?v=1508421805"},{"product_id":"full-size-printed-plan-18th-century-man-o-war-naval-cannon-scale-1-12-length-7-1-2-width-4","title":"Full size Printed Plan 18th-century man-o'-war Naval Cannon Scale 1:12  Length 7 1\/2\"  Width 4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003es                               \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot a KIT or MODEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18th-century man-o'-war Naval Cannon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFull size drawing with illustrations 20\" x 12\"  20lb bond\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwo page article with building notes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale 1:12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength 7 1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth 4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby W.B.

Few guns would make a better looking model than the 16th Century Culverin shown in the accompanying drawing. For the best effect it should be made in bronze and a dark hardwood like walnut or mahogany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing is based on a contemporary print showing guns of various calibres. The Culverin was chosen as I had details of a gun, still in existence, the proportions of which tallied closely with the print. These guns were very heavy and their transport over the rough tracks of the period presented some difficulty, some 10 to 12 yoke of oxen being required even in good conditions.

If metal is not used the best alternative is Perspex; avoid ply­wood owing to the trouble of cleaning up the edges for a good finish. Marking out has to be carefully done and holes drilled in the corner of each opening and in the internal angles of the outline. I found an Abrafile about the best tool for cutting in between the holes for if it is used with care, very little cleaning up is required.     .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll other parts are quite simple to make in metal, plastic or timber, the shapes being quite clear from the drawing..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE subject of the accompanying drawing is a 24 pdr. ship's gun mounted on a cast iron carriage. These guns were used in naval shore establishments for coastal defence and in the trade castles in Africa and Asia. I can find no evidence of their use in ships. It .is interesting to see how the general form of the wooden carriage was followed closely in cast iron, the designers not being able to think basically enough to produce a shape more appropriate to the material used. This happened in thee distant past when early stone buildings followed the form of their timber predecessors and we can see it today when many items are produced in plastic and these follow the pattern' set by the wood or metal articles they endeavour to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThank you for looking Rose\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Model Plans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55056158677,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/7232\/products\/SHOP_1_378b9a5d-482d-43d5-901c-ba4436dfc3cf.jpg?v=1508877080"},{"product_id":"printed-drawings-articles-scale-1-32-quad-single-and-twin-bofors","title":"Printed Drawings \u0026 Articles Scale 1:32 Quad Single and Twin Bofors","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is for a Printed Drawings \u0026amp; Articles Only\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot a KIT or MODEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuad\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e US.

Without the ramp the model gun will be identical to the flanking guns of the Ravelin at Old Fort Niagara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  AT Old Fort Niagara, situated at the mouth of the Niagara River, there is an interesting old disap­pearing howitzer (Fig. 1), mounted on the outer works at the apex of the Rave­lin angle of the old fort. While other flanking guns of the Ravelin are mounted on ordinary naval carriages, only this one has a ramp for disappearing operation. This type of carriage is believed to have been designed by the French lead­er, Comte de Saxe, in the War of the Austrian Succession, about the year 1730, and found its way to America by way of the French who started the building of Old Fort Niagara. Years ago one of the great advantages of the disappearing gun was in its use as an element of surprise on an attack­ing force. The gun could be loaded at the bottom of its ramp-out of sight of the enemy (Fig. 9), and then run up over the parapet and fired. Then too, the ar­tillery man could load the gun behind the parapet or embankment for protection, because in those days when artillery had such a short range, gunners were quite easily picked off by enemy riflemen. This type of mounting was primarily used in a garrison to ward off attacks, and often was loaded with scrap metal for use as an anti-personnel weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThank You for Looking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Model Plans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37215726207145,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/7232\/products\/SHOP1_17d0aa7b-2a05-458e-947b-374cc8dd634d.jpg?v=1603658708"},{"product_id":"printed-scale-drawing-boulton-gun-turret-for-airplanes-and-boats","title":"Printed Scale Drawing Boulton Gun Turret for airplanes and boats","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eBoulton Gun Turret Scale Drawing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003efor Aircraft, Some MGBs and Air-sea rescue launches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003ePrinted Plan on a sheet 24” x 16”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eScales on plan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eTwo pages of notes and photos\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eAir-sea rescue launches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003e, particularly during World War II, sometimes featured Boulton Paul turrets equipped with .303 machine guns for defense against enemy aircraft, with some later versions incorporating heavier caliber weapons. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eAircraft \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif;\"\u003eWorld War II British fighter aircraft, featured a powered dorsal turret equipped with four .303-inch (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns, designed to intercept and destroy enemy bombers. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Model Plans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034437337340,"sku":"","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/7232\/files\/shop_514c4599-89d0-4dc4-91c7-aa687cd95336.jpg?v=1743713062"},{"product_id":"full-size-printed-plan-and-article-civil-war-cannon-scale-1-12-barrel-length-4-to-be-modeled-in-brass","title":"Full size printed plan and article CIVIL WAR CANNON Scale 1:12  Barrel length 4 “  To be modeled in Brass","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull size printed plan and article\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot a KIT or MODEL\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eFull-size printed plan on an 11” x 8 ½’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eTwo pages of notes and Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eCIVIL WAR CANNON\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eVintage Plans from 1947\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eScale 1:12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eBarrel length 4 “\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eTo be modeled in Brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eBy A.

Originally intended for close‑range defense, it later became the standard saluting gun, firing blank charges for ceremonial duties. It also saw service in launches, picket boats, and harbor defense during the 1914–18 war.
