<b>Pivot carriage for a 10 inch shell gun of 86 hundred weight for the US steam frigate <i>Mississippi</i>. Navy Yard New York, June 23rd 1855</b> 3D model is of the above pivot gun for a 1:36 scale (1 inch = 3 foot) RC model of the sloop of war <i>Constellation</i> in 1856. It was created in Anim8or from plans obtained from the US National Archives in College Park Maryland. The model is offered in three parts; slide, carriage, and barrel with cap-squares; to facilitate printing, though I printed it as a single piece (see pic of printed model). I finally used a LOT of light supports (like 75% volume), mostly right on edges, to finally get a good print of the two guns the ship carried. I offer no guarantees so far as re-scaling, or successful printing.
