Thought you might be interested--after about 40 years, I have finally put the finishing touches on the USS Constitution 24-pounder. This involved building the correct hardware; ring bolts, square nuts vs hexagon, etc. I also got the colors correct. This is done to fit into a large scale battlestation that I am building to go with the gun. I have also built exact scale blocks and tackles for gun training and the correct breeching anchors, etc.
