Cannon models
« on: January 07, 2007, 12:55:13 PM »
Hy all:
       Í'm new here, I'm an architect living in Chile (South America), & I've been modeling almost all my life.
I'm doing some black powder scale models of some cannons & mortars, of which I'll post some pictures soon.
However I would be greatful if someone could help me in finding drawings or plans about this topic.

Thanks in advance

If you are looking for US pattern field pieces of the mid-19th century era, Antique Ordnance Publications is a good source.  For naval guns of the USS Constitution, try the Naval Historical Center -- Detachment Boston.

Mario -

WELCOME tothe board!  You'll find a number of links in the REFERENCES section.  For detailed plans, though, that takes a little work.  I suggest picking a model or a range of models and asking for specific plans - it might get a more specific result.
