Emplacement rough-ins are now built. I have an upper deck section, but for display I may use a clear acetate panel. Aside from some minor adjustments to the door, I'm nearly done. All of the components are modeled and printed, I hope to build those over the next few days.
With instructions and the holidays I imagine this will drift into a new-year release. Enjoy! Tirick

The Naval cannon, complete with fittings, tools and emplacement, is now available in the TCF Gaming store. In the next week or so I plan to put together a proper diorama with some of the display options. I don't have 'duck' trousers modeled yet to show figurines with, but I imagine the tunic and trousers of the Man at Arms set might serve for a sans culottes seaman.
Enjoy! Tirick

The diorama is coming along, although there are a lot of components to put together before I finish (the figures foremost). I thought however that I would present a little teaser of the parts, and the assembly of the train-tackle. The blocks work better than I hoped, and although they are not functional as pulleys, they play the part well. The parts and gun carriage are all built to 1:50.
The bits, unassembled Blocks, assembled, with the thread (about 1" to scale) The train-tackle, starting to thread The train-tackle has to be tightened up a bit yet, and I will likely glue the thread to stiffen it somewhat. I'm not 100% certain if the train tackle is rove to advantage or disadvantage, but will leave it as is. Enjoy! Tirick (I do realize now that the train-tackle is supposed to be a gun-tackle, but I'd modeled a double-tackle instead, and so have assembled it as such.)

The diorama is now complete, using a bit of thin thread, embroidery floss and parts from the Man at Arms and Expansion. Needless to say, I'm quite pleased with the result (although its used up my 'store' of pre-built figurine components).
I've a large collection of images, although I'll only display a few here, the rest will be in the inline links. To start, I've a few shots of the emplacement before I added figures. I regret not using a white background, but its too late to correct now. I used thick thread for the tackle and embroidery floss for the cascabel rope. The floss is very lightly woven, so I had a bit of a fight keeping it together. They are about 1" and 2" to scale respectively (I built it to 1:50). A side angle Top down Another angle Assembling the figures took about 2-3 hours, about 1/2 hour per figure. I only modeled 5, rather than the typical 6 as I do not have a figure suitable for a powder monkey. These first few shots are before I touched up the white spaces, to give you an idea of the detail right from assembly. Side View Along the gun From above Another angle To give you a sense of scale, the whole assembly fits in the palm of my hand: Finally, I took a 1/2 hour to touch up the obvious whitespaces, and present the final diorama.
