Posted some not so sharp pics on Fotki of the gun carriages from HiS, just one assembled. I saw the color for the carriages on a Connie site and mixed my own to try to match it. It's sort of close. Now I'll complete the guns and post a pic of the spar deck with the kit carriages and the HiS carriages. Putting those wheels on was trying.

And working on the pin rails too.

Started to do the pin rails, got 8 of the 7 piners ready to drill for the belay pins. Been slow working on this, putting a bathroom in the basement while working the Connie.

Got the wheels and quoins on the HiS gun carriages, will fotki pics of those soon.

You vcan go cross eyed with this stuff!

when drilling holes for the belay pins should the holes be close to the bulwark or closer to the outer edge of the pin rail?

Managed to get pics of my own Connie in a file on my laptop with help from my son. How do they get transferred to here?
