Hi Clayton,
A fascinating work you carried out for the Vasamuseet.
I wonder, how you realized the hatchments on the barrels?

Thank you!
The coats of arms and other decorations were made by gluing a thin slab of wood to the master and then carving it to the shape I wanted.

Clayton, marvelous work!
Question about the "big" ones with the enormous bore. What are they for as the remaining thickness of the barrel appears very fable. A predecessor of the carronades?
Cheers, Daniel

Daniel,
Thanks! Yes, they are howitzers and basically a predecessor of the carronade. Vasa carried three sizes of these, 20lb, 42lb, and 82lb. They would typically be loaded with scraps of metal or grapeshot and would be used at close quarters as an anti-personnel type weapon.

Now a set of one of each of the guns that Vasa carried in 1:10 scale is on display at the Miniature Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad California. Here are a few pictures of the display..    |
