This set of cannon reflect the English design for cast iron cannon on Napoleonic-era warships, so these are the guns that won the day at Trafalgar. They have a distinctive ring for breech ropes at the cascabel in the back.
Also, one early 1790's style carronade is included here - this one still has trunnions and is mounted on a small primitive carriage.
The original scale here is 1:72, please use that to re-size to the scale that you require.
Update 24.12.2021: Added two smaller calibres, a 6lb and a 8lb (or 9lb), named as version "O". Also, the carriages for the 12lb and the 18lb versions were slightly increased in size to match the intended starting scale, again now listed as version "O".
To fit resin-printed guns with "ropes", I tend to already add those while the resin is soft, before curing. Especially on the 6lb and 8lb guns at below the native 1:72 scale, these small cavities may film over and once you have cured that, there will be no way to add any string. BTW, a primitive block that can be printed out to various sizes can be found in my free Viking Ship Accessories post.....
