These guns and carriages go with my cannon crews. They are based on historic sources and I will expand and supplement them as time goes by. The native scale here is 1:72.
The first set are english cannon from around 1650 for Anglo-Dutch wars scenarios in five basic sizes: 32 lb. demi-cannon, 18lb. culverin, 6lb. saker, 4lb. minion, as well as a swivel gun.
Update 23.06.2021: Added seven categories of french cannon and cannon carriages from around 1770. I am currently using them to upgrade a 1:150 French model ship (a 86-cannon second-rater), so pictures will follow shortly. The categories are 32lb., 18lb., 12lb., 6lb. long, 6lb. short, 4lb. long, 4lb. short.
Update 29.10.2021: Trunnions on all cannon have now been adjusted to locate below the centre line, rather than on it. These "rev3" versions of all files supersede the previous ones. Thanks go to MMF user David King for this correction !
It is possible to attach the ropes and blocks that would keep the cannon in place on a ship. This works with cannon from my resin printer at full scale (1:72) or larger. This is shown for the 1770 French cannon in one of the pictures here. I prefer to add in some test strings before UV curing to ensure that the attachment points on the cannon carriage can be used after curing and painting....
