Having made the 15ft Model and the cross section of the mid ship of the Sailing ship Avondster. I decided to make a detail of the Cannon and gun port just for fun. But I realised that I had to give gifts, to two Gentlemen of the Old Guard, who visited my place as often as they were able to. Appreciated,encouraged, praised and understood my work and gave me wise counsel.They were – Dr. Ray Wijewardene and Lt.Commander Somasiri Devandra. I am making 2 more, one for me and may be I may find a market to sell such items.

Truly fine work. I really like the scale of these.
Are the barrels real? 5…4…3…2…1..fire!
Thanks for sharing!

Those are really cool.. Nice Job! You have an incredible talent.. I wish you were close by you’d have a student.. An old student mind you but a student..:) Maybe you should consider selling your design plans.
I’m certain people would buy them from you. Those type of plans don’t exist to my knowledge.

I second Karson. I did not have any idea of the size until I had some perspective, very nice! The detail work with the ropes is amazing.

Everyone watch what you say. This guy has access to cannons.
Really nice, I mean it. I am not saying it just because you could blow my head off. ;-)
