Just a quick post to show the latest in Port Brique’s defenses, the gunboat Sentinelle du Brique:



Temporarily equiped with an 18 pounder (yikes!) until a purpose built 9 pounder carronade can be cast at Port Brique Foundry, all concerned are keeping their fingers crossed that she doesn’t need to fire a shot. Even with a half-charge, the little gunboat isn’t going to take it well.

The gunboat uses the 1x1 rounds-strengthened-by-a-flex-tube mast technique that was used for the mizzen on the Digne. Other than that, it’s fairly standard 6-wide construction - although I am quite pleased with the stern, which uses a combination of 45° and 33° inverse slopes and 3x3 angle bricks.

Cheers
