I am attaching a photo of a brass 24-pounder scale model that I built a number of years ago. This is modeled after the guns on the USS Constitution. The plans are in the February 1969 issue of Popular Mechanics. My barrel is 9"long, which I scaled up from the 5.483" length in the plans. I know that that was a long time ago, but you can still find old copies on line--at least I found one. It was a hoot to build. Neil Young

If you have trouble finding the back issue of Popular Mechanics, PM your e:mail address and I can send some photos of the pages. A sample photo is attached, to see if it is readable. Let me know. Neil Young
