Gun deck cannons

I have decided to use the cannons supplied with the kit, but  with some modifications.

I enlarged the bore of the carriage mounted cannons so that they resemble the other dummy cannons more.

I also painted the carriages, added carriage rigging (which was not part of the original model kit) and blackened all the brass work.

All carriages were glued in place before fitting the upper deck.    Cannons were fitted temporarily to make sure all is aligned before gluing everything in place.

Cannons will be fitted permanenlty later to minimize risk of damage.  I also plan to paint and install gun ports before cannons are glued in place.

Other gratings and fittings were installed too.
