To say this lass is a master builder is an under statement, Her detail is so clever, Its a joy to see

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you!

[@CaptRD]

One of your videos popped up for me a couple of days ago, it was episode #3 of the Confederacy. I watched it and have been binge watching your channel for the past couple of days. When I saw this one pop up my first thought was that the video was a bit long for assembling a cannon, but as I watched it I was totally mesmerized watching your skills at work. I found myself enjoying the background music as well. I've got a boat on my workbench that I haven't worked on in a while, but your videos have really motivated me. Thanks so much!

Amazing 🤩 The attention to detail. 🧐How at any moment, one of those knots could turn into a rats nest. The real test is match them all up in repetition, but in the install, they have their own unique look. It's the meticulous attention that each piece requires, but even more intriguing is the ability to capture all this in a tutorial video, and keep it organized in a timely manner. Art meets function, with every detail having a purpose, even all the way back into the skeletal frame, into the planking, and with the finishing touches of battle cannons. Wonderful job Ohla! 🙂👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The detail of these guns and carriages are so good, it's a pity that they are lacking the objects used for ranging the guns! These were known as "gunners' quoins" and at their most simple were just a wedge of wood with a handle that was pushed under the breech of the cannon to tilt it. It would be an easy matter to make appropriate wedges with tiny brass escutcheon pin heads as handles and would appease my obsession to details as an Arms Historian ! Other than this minute point that probably only I would notice; your work is superb, and I love watching your videos. They are so beautifully produced and edited; please keep them coming !

Здравствуйте Ольга! Вы прекрасный мастер, у Вас отличный набор инструментов и парк станков, работа очень аккуратная. Мне 59 лет, моряк , отдал морю 30 лет, занимаюсь судомоделизмом с 12 лет. Откуда у Вас такая страсть к коммерческим наборам? Ваш уровень работы просто обязывает Вас строить корабли с нуля. Очень обидно видеть все нестыковки из набора: задняя часть лафета слишком длинная, откатный канат слишком короткий, блоки агроменные , тали слишком коротки, тот самый канонир не сможет прочистить и снова зарядить пушку после залпа. В общем, не сочтите мои маленькие замечания за придирки. Удачи в Вашем творчестве!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

И вообще лафети не из того периода))) Они как минимум лет через 150 только появятся... Не било из черо пилить, а канал пропускать випуски не может (хотяби скопировать с Мери Роуз) вот и поставила то что било в наборе!

Painstaking and as always with a great result. I note, that we seem to have a somewhat different way of doing this. While you prepare everything outside the ship, I try to work with the guns on place on the ship. I dont know wich way is the best.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

It also depends on the model! But I measure everything on the model and only tie the ropes outside the deck - because that way you have more freedom... That's why I have to move each carriage here and there several times...

[@thelast8357]

[@davidengel8887]

No matter how perfect I get the coils on my finger, when it's on the rope and I start to pull the threads... pulls itself into a knot every time.

[@ALBERTMAU]

Hello Olha! Amazing work! How did you paint the guns?

They are not painted, but blackened with Brass Black in the previous release. There is also a video on how to use it in the cards.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

[@V081WLBlue]

Your work is great but I see a lot the breeching ropes 'hanging' in the air, they need more 'weight'. They should droop down on the deck.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you! This is because they are as stiff as real breeches. And the scale makes them even tighter...

Thank you very much! No, only a carriage for a gun. Or maybe you're asking about wire nails?

[@simotessa]

@@OlhaBatchvarov yes, i'm talking about the wire nail on 0:48

[@currentbatches6205]

2:40 - When I was (auto) racing, there was a set of diagonal cutters in the tool box ground flat on the bottom so that cut-off safety-wire twists and ny-ties would not have those nasty extensions to cause bleeding; same here? 12:00 - Good move to make the coil look 'hand-done'. 14:53 - Wonderful technique. 21:20 - Just a comment on ship design: If I were the owner/chief/commander/admiral, I'd want my bunk at water-level, amid-ships. Any other location simply adds to the excursions in any but dead-calm waters. Not subject to motion sickness, but I wouldn't be happy tossed out of the bunk even if I wasn't puking 26:02 - Regardless of your wonderful skills, were bronze cannons blackened by exposure to the atmosphere at that time?

These were just small cutters from Amazon. The guns became black during use and under the influence of atmospheric conditions...

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

@@OlhaBatchvarov thank you

[@SQSNSQ]

Superb job, as always! However, I have my doubts about the cannon design. It looks a bit anachronistic for the XVI century, where I would expect a 2- wheel mount with somewhat longer and thinner barrel. Like the gun, found in 1971 off the coast of Italy and believed to be part of XVI century Venetian ship. While your guns and, particularly their mounts seem to be from XVIII-XIX centuries. Even XVII century guns, like those, found on Vasa had rather different proportions and details to their mounts. I realize, this is, probably, how Maristella suggests this guns in their kit, but still, it does not seem right to me.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Yes, you are absolutely right about the guns! In the kit were quality details but not from that era. Therefore, I had to make them completely from scratch or use them from the kit. But no one really knows what guns were actually on the Ragusian carracks. This reconstruction of the ship is based on the image on the church's silver plate. Therefore, there is not even any information on how to make them! So I decided to use the details from the kit...

[@SQSNSQ]

@@OlhaBatchvarov Well, I do realize, there is no absolutely hard historical evidence on what guns were used on this particular ship type. But there are enough of ancient gravures and archaeological finds to provide at least a general information on how the contemporary naval guns looked like. It took me like 5-10 min to find the article, I posted above, with the reconstruction of the XVIc naval gun, based on actual underwater find. I also understand why you may not want to scratch build them, as it will seriously increase the amount of work for you, where it is already more then enough efforts required. As for the kit manufacturer, I think, Maristella puts this "wrong" guns in the kit because it is easier for them to have same set of parts for all their kits, instead of making/ordering a number of different types.

[@briant3384]

Hi Olha, That is a great video, and I will start watching your others with keen interest. Your work is amazing!!! When I tried to use your technique to do the seizing of my gun tackle, it tended to form a know before it was properly reduced in size. Am I doing something wrong that you can think of? Do I need to use wax on the seizing line to prevent premature knotting? When I reduced the wraps on my finger to about 4, and it sprang into relative disorder when put in position to tighten, it did work. However, when I used more wraps, and the coils didn't expand into relative disorder when put into position, it knotted prematurely =( Wah. When it did work for me, it sure does look great, and I want to continue to use this technique on the remaining cannons I need to rig with tackle, there are 10 on the HMS Granado Bomb Vessel I am building. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Brian

[@briant3384]

Oh, I was wondering if waxing the seizing line with beeswax might help prevent premature knotting/rats nest?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Beeswax is used on cotton threads to prevent their hairiness!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you! What threads do you use for seizing? Different threads are tied in different ways! I found the thinnest Gutermann polyester threads, which are very smooth and easily slide when tightened without forming knots...

[@briant3384]

@@OlhaBatchvarov Thanks, that makes sense. I believe people have used it to help things have less friction too. But I think I need some Gutermann polyester thread, as you also noted. Thanks again Olah!
