Re: Colonial Gunboat 1850-1920 (28mm) - Heavy naval artillery
« Reply #23 on: September 29, 2018, 01:22:58 PM »
Some photos of the base-coated gunboat:






The wheel-house does not appear because I am going to reduce her size to refine the lines of the ship and to match the real model. Also the  rowboats davits are going to be replaced by models of smaller size.

Furthermore I begin clearly to tilt for a livery rather black that white, I again have to think about it...

I looked of the XIXth artillery (for the XXth it is good I have what is needed) but nothing is found of suitable or to resounding prices, I thus began the construction of French naval artillery of 240mm mle on 1870 in scratch.

Here is the real model:




And the reduced model :








On the gunboat :






I am also going to realize smaller naval pieces of ordnance, from kitbashing of the artillery Dahlgren from Reviresco, I have of whom to make 4.

Well all in all, I have more and more desire to try the realization of a cruiser-battleship of class Galissonière: it is feasible, I am capable of it, it is a big work, but it would be a magnificent and unique model, with a very impressive look ... I shall present the idea in a dedicated subject...

To follow...
