HMB Endeavour by cobra1951 - OcCre - 1:54


Recommended Posts

Think it's time to start a new build log :)

As usual first thing is a homemade slipway to keep the keel straight

 

Glue the two halves of the keel together

There are two strengthening parts to fit to the joint but not yet

Built the slipway first

Keel without the strengthening parts fitted

post-11947-0-78046800-1474130188_thumb.jpg

 

Keel now square to the slipway

post-11947-0-86034500-1474130250_thumb.jpg

 

Cut a slot in the slipway to allow the strengthening pieces to be fitted

I'll watch along if you don't mine, I like the Occre brand kits. Should be better instructions than the Panart.....

 

Is that another Gun deck in the background ?

 

Paul V

 

Hi Paul welcome :)

The instructions are far better than the Panart ones

The gun deck in the background is an almost finished one of the two i built before, as i started the slipway for this build a while ago but i have only just started the log

Last part of the slipway build

Placed the keel in the slot in the slipway and dry fitted the bulkheads

post-11947-0-21844000-1474234426_thumb.jpg

 

Marked out where the bulkheads cross the slipway

post-11947-0-38187700-1474234525_thumb.jpg

 

Removed keel and cut slots where the bulkhead markings where

post-11947-0-28755000-1474234557_thumb.jpg

 

Replaced the keel and made sure bulkheads sat in the slots cut out for them

post-11947-0-89563100-1474234644_thumb.jpg

 

Checked that the bulkheads were clear of the base of the slipway insuring that they sat all the way down in their slots

post-11947-0-23024900-1474234771_thumb.jpg

 

Long winded way of doing it but by starting with two long strips and then cutting slots in them i know all the pieces are perfectly in line with each other (nothing like piece of mind before continuing)

Good to see Bob,

Hope the kit comes with plenty of goodies for your build.

Will be watching out for the updates, I like seeing what others do with the Endeavour builds.

Thanks Dave :)

Not too many goodies, in fact one little niggle about the kit is most of it is Lime wood and they tell you to paint it the colour of different woods :huh:

 

I will take a nose through your log later to see how the kits differ :)

Thanks for all the comments and likes, greatly appreciated :)

All Bulkheads glued into place

post-11947-0-55953700-1474472999_thumb.jpg

 

All seems to line up length ways too

post-11947-0-07021800-1474473053_thumb.jpg

 

Used the straight edge on half the lower deck and marked it out for planking

post-11947-0-55946700-1474473097_thumb.jpg

 

Lined up the other half of the deck against it by sticking them down together with double sided tape and then transfered the markings across

post-11947-0-10501100-1474473103_thumb.jpg

post-11947-0-68098700-1474473113_thumb.jpg

 

Carefully removed the two halves from the double sided tape then laid a strip of planks along one edge then fitted and glued both halves to the keel and bulkheads

When it's all dried, deck planking will begin

Planks have been cut to 100mm in length and will be laid in a 5 butt system in a 13524 pattern

The keel and bulkheads on this kit are only 4mm thick and after fitting the deck, the joints were a little bit flimsy, so i fitted some strengthening pieces to the joints

post-11947-0-47884600-1474650764_thumb.jpg

 

Lower deck planked and cross beams for the next deck fitted

There was no reason to plank this deck at all as none of it will be seen later, so i used some thinner planking and saved the kit supplied planking in case i need it later in the build

Thanks Frank :)

Had to use extra support because the bulkheads were still moving even with the deck in place and I wasn't going to take the chance of the joints moving once I start planking the hull

Hi Bob,

Are you planning to add some blocking between the frames to the hull(wales line) ?

 

 

Dave R

 

I am not planning on adding any there. I will leave the final decision until after all the decks are fitted and i can see how rigid it is then :)
