This Blend is of a 24 lb British cannon of the type to be found on the HMS Victory circa 1805. Although this type of weapon has appeared on Blend Swap before, I have yet to find a file that includes the tackle necessary to operate it. Accordingly I have constructed a Blend which includes tackle rope, recoil rope, tackle blocks and a gunlock.
CGTextures image files WoodPlanksFloors0030-17 and Various0146-2 were used for the deck and rope.
Simulating rope doesn't appear to be my strong suit. I would welcome any hints on how to make the rope more realistic.
Reynante Martinez has a tutorial to model a rope (http://www.reynantemartinez.com/how-to-model-a-rope-in-blender.html).
