Cannibal Chrispy Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Looks Great! Perhaps a little fatter at the breech. Illustration courtesy of Patrick Hand, and his Pyrate Comix. To see comic in it's entirety, click below http://pyracy.com/index.php?showtopic=13374 All rights reserved.
Commodore Swab Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Heres a better shot of the breech
Mission Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 What program are you using to render that in? Acad? It's a very nice rendering! Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Commodore Swab Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 ACAD2000, it helps to be able to draw something before actually cutting it out.
Mission Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Nice work! That 3D rendering stuff in the old program is a bit tetchy. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
peglegstrick Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Work on Acad 2010 at work. Never have done any 3-d work on cad, we are gearing up to change to a new program called Inventer. Worked on it a little & like it. Nice rendering though, looks good
Commodore Swab Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 I've got 2010 also but have found that for printing etc most other places are geared toward 2000. No responses on the design?
Mission Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I'm afraid I don't actually know enough about period weapons to comment intelligently on the design. It's a grenado launcher, right? Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Commodore Swab Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 nope, its a swivel cannon with a doglock on the side as per a request. I have tried to bridge a gap between the mounted blunderbusses and later swivel cannons to come up with an early version of something well documented.
Dutchman Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 can you put a scale to it? looks nice. still looking for those pieces for you, btw. found one but it was SS.
Commodore Swab Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 The bore is 1 inch, it is 3 inches at the breech, the barrel is 22 inches and the overall length is 3 feet
bo'sun Carl Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 very very COOL!!!!! I realy like the overall look of the weapon. And a dog lock too all the better!!!! Untill we meet again may you have fair winds and following seas. Y.M.H.S. C-
MarkG Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 nope, its a swivel cannon with a doglock on the side as per a request. I have tried to bridge a gap between the mounted blunderbusses and later swivel cannons to come up with an early version of something well documented. I would put the swivel closer to the stock to make it easier to aim. I've shot a heavy matchlock with a rest and it works best with the rest foot or so forward of the touch hole. Any further and you have to move your entire body to adjust your aim. I did a bit of quick research for this message and found a nice example from a Lewis and Clark recreation.
