HMS Vulture Build Log Resurrection Following the Crash of MSW in February 2013 I’ve attempted to re-create as much of my former Build log as I can. The following is a very truncated version of the original. It doesn’t contain any of the comments posted by others, as they were unrecoverable. My apologies for that. I've also left out the MISTAKES I made during the construction in the "Resurrection" section. Some of them can be found in this Topic : How I Fix Boo-Boos and Oopsies The original Build Log was started on June 11 2011. Actual work on the model commenced on Wednesday August 17 2011. The Build Log was terminated on February 14 2013 (the day the Server crashed), and Re-building it started the day MSW came back on-line. _____________________________________________________________________ Following is an Index to "Points of Interest". you can Click on the Links to jump straight to the First Post that starts a particular Section.

Hi all, Having completed HMS Vulture and donating her to the Port Macquarie Maritime Museum I decided to build a Cross-section of the ship to display alongside her. I will be building the section in exactly the same way I built the original model, using the same timbers etc. This will allow viewers to see some of the internal details which are now virtually invisible. Below is my now customary Index to Points of Interest. Clicking on a Link will take you to the relevant post where the construction of that area begins. The Index will be added to as work progresses. Index to Points of Interest Preparations Keel Floors Frames Fitting Frames Fairing Pump Recesses and Pump Inlets Internal Planking Treenailing and Mainmast Step Lower Deck Beams Stanchions for the Well Lower Well and Shot Locker Limber Boards and Lower Deck Knees Iron Knees Chain Pump Sprocket and Chain Pump Tubes Hatch Coamings Mast Lower Deck Planking Upper Well Mast Partner Carlings and Main Topsail Sheet Bitt Pins Hammock Battens Gratings Mast Partners and Pump Tubes Fitted Wales External Planking and Treenailing and Port Liners Bitts Fitted, Cisterns and Chain Pump Cranks Elm Tree Pumps Guns Quarterdeck Section, Entry Steps and External Moldings Guns Finished, Gangways and Ladder Gangway Railing and Newel Post, Channel, Chains and Deadeyes FINISHED MODEL .

Hi all, I have started work on the Cutter for my model of HMS Vulture (link in my signature below for those who haven't seen her) and decided to make a separate Build Log of the project. Some time ago I purchased the Timbering Set for this model from Admiralty Models. Timber in the set was cut by HobbyMill who are no longer in production, so I don't know if the Set is still available. EDIT - It's not. The "kit" includes a resin plug to which the frames are temporarily fixed until the boat takes shape. There are NO plans or instructions included - this "kit" is even more in the way of Scratchbuilding than the ship itself is. Here's a pic of the "kit" : There are 5 packs of timber (not sure of the type) ranging in thickness from 0.031" to 0.1" for things like the Keel, Transom, Gunwale and Thwarts. There are also 2 packs of Holly - one is 0.031" x 0.031" for the Frames, the other is a sheet of 0.015" thick for the Planking. All the timber has been milled to HobbyMill's exacting standards and looks to be of excellent quality. There also seems to be a lot more timber than I'll need - probably enough to make TWO Cutters if I don't waste any . Danny
