Looks like we need a new link to that graphic. With the change in format, that link does not work any more.
Hi all I am new to rc warship combat bt not new to rc ships was wondering if any one could post files preferably cad (any format) or pictures I am courious how they work espesially the ones with round magazines thanks Tom
I'm not sure about the "round magazines" you mention, but here's something: http://www.rcwarships.org/rcwarships/nwc/gun01.html http://www.rcwarships.org/rcwarships/nwc/gas-sys1.html JM
That first URL has a great cutaway diagram of an Indiana cannon, the standard big gun cannon with a round, rotating magazine. There were also some links earlier in the thread to some other threads about cannon design, but they were posted before the site got restructured and are no longer functioning.
Its not much but I am slowly posting articles describing how I am building the cannons for my SMS Nassau. Except for oddly shaped accumulators they are fairly typical Indiana-style cannons. Within the next few weeks I should have posts describing the construction of every part. You can see all my posts relating to Nassau's cannons at this URL: http://mabg.org/taxonomy/term/60,56 The most general posts for Indian cannons are probably these two: Making Cannon Manifolds: http://mabg.org/node/173 Making Cannon Breeches: http://mabg.org/node/210 I've got to make some more ball-valves later this week so those posts will probably be the next ones I put up.
Thank you. I should be making a set of ball-valves over the next few nights. So it will probably be Saturday before I post about making the bodies. I think I have pictures for making the smaller interier parts already if so those will get posted at the same time. Otherwise it will be early next week
