Cannibal Chrispy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Looks Great! Perhaps a little fatter at the breech. Illustration courtesy of Patrick Hand, and his Pyrate Comix.

Mission Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 What program are you using to render that in? Acad? It's a very nice rendering!

But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Swab Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 ACAD2000, it helps to be able to draw something before actually cutting it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice work! That 3D rendering stuff in the old program is a bit tetchy.

peglegstrick Posted January 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Swab Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted January 24, 2011 Share 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?

Commodore Swab Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share 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.

Commodore Swab Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkG Posted January 28, 2011 Share 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.
