Bomb Vessel Granado 1756 (1:64): |
Model designed entirely in-house by Rich, Dave and John.
HM Bomb Vessel Granado (1:64) as fitted between the period July 26th 1756
and March 20th 1760. Her armament includes 1 x 13 inch mortar (fore), 1 x
10 inch mortar (aft), 10 x 4pdr carriage guns and 12 x 0.5pdr swivel guns.

Detail shot of the after cabin lights, also showing the mizzen topmast and topgallant mast backstays. Note also one of the ten included brass etched scuppers. |
 |
Quarter light (badge) decoration. |
 |
Transom decoration, note also the two after ports located at the stern counter. No information for the colouring of the transom and quarter decoration survives and as such was likely to simply have been varnished wood, as shown below. However, having researched the heraldic colours and their usage at the time we have painted the decoration accordingly in order to pick out the detail. |
 |
'Wooden look' transom decoration. |
 |
Two shots detailing the bows, headrails and figurehead. |

Model designed entirely in-house by Rich, Dave and John.
