rowand Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share #121 Posted July 3, 2016 Hi All, I hope all is well at your end of the world. It's been a fair while since my last post but, I finally got the model out of dry dock and spent some time working on the Trimming Channels. I didn't like the way Artensania did their bit with the Trimming Channels so I've done it my way. Instead of gluing the Trimming Channels straight onto the side of the rubbing strakes, I re-manufactured the Trimming Channels with tabs that fit into slots that I cut into the side of the model and I'm really happy with the result so far..... However, right now I'm losing the plot as I'm trying to upload some photos but there are internet issues with my e-mail carrier that are preventing me from doing so..... Grrrrrrr..... So, as soon as they get them fixed, I'll post a couple of photos. In the mean time, I'll post this for now and get back to you soon. Have a great day and happy modelling. Rowan D.

rowand Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share #122 Posted July 3, 2016 Hello All, Well the e-mail issues are sorted, Telstra is the provider and they changed some settings without notification. Now that it's all sorted, I've posted some photos following on from my last .... shipaholic, dashi, BANYAN and 5 others 8 Quote Current build HMB Endeavour - AL Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowand Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share #125 Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Hi All, Thanks for the kind words Gents. Sorry, no more pikkies for the moment. By way of update, I've been working on the forward Trimming Channel and just about got it right. It needed a little curve in it to match the curvature of the Rubbing Strake, so spent a bit of time experimenting on that. Job done - It looks pretty good and matches the curve of the Rubbing Strake so on to the windows. Have a good one and happy modelling, 'til next time. Rowan D.

ca.shipwright Posted July 12, 2016 Share #126 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Pete, If you are building the ship in a home made cradle, try putting a wedge under the aft cradle piece sliding in deeper until you get the proper mast rake- you are raising the stern. Transfer all to the drill press table and drill on the mast markings. A lot easier than building a separate jig for a one time job.

hof00 Posted July 30, 2016 Share #127 Posted July 30, 2016 Hi Rowan, Your build is looking pretty good!! Currently working on this particular Model also, albeit a little slow at the mo. I have found myself removing the Planking from the Fore and Quater Deck as I got a bit carried away with the sanding/finishing. (Not sure if I'll remove the Poop Deck Planking yet. I have a question for you though, do you have the spacing's of the Stanchions for the Cap Rail? The A/L drawings are no at all clear and I am also struggling with Mast Hole Centres. One other issue is that AOTS shoe six 4 Pounder Cannons but A/L only provide four, these are 25mm in length but it seems that we, (In NZ), can only get our hands on 30mm at the smallest. Thoughts? Cheers....HOF.

rowand Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share #128 Posted October 8, 2016 Hi All, I thought it time to give you an update as while it might seem that I abandoned the build, I hadn't. The progress is that I have made the new Channels for the starboard side and I'm ready to cut the slots in the hull to fit them. I've also made a template to cut the windows out in the hull and all was going well up to that point. It was at that point that I had to lay the model up. An insidious problem crept up on me and almost over night I lost strength in my left arm and grip in my left hand. This was brought about by some 'pinched' nerves in my neck that hadn't made their presence known up to then. Happy to say though that following some excellent medical treatment, I'm on the mend now and while a full recovery is yet to be seen, I'm looking forward to being able to get back to the model in the not-too-distant future. I trust that you are all well and making great progress with your respective models. Have a great day, Best regards, Rowan D.

ca.shipwright Posted October 8, 2016 Share #129 Posted October 8, 2016 Rowan, I had the same thing. It manifested itself by my missing my mouth with the fork when eating. I had to have surgery. The problem resolved itself. A lot of physical therapy exercising the arm using a resistance band and squeezing a rubber ball brought strength back rapidly. Good luck with your recovery. I look forward to your log continuing. Regards BANYAN 1 Quote ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

BANYAN Posted October 8, 2016 Share #130 Posted October 8, 2016 Good luck Rowan - have had surgery on C3, 4 and 5 for similar issues - all good now, so hang in there mate - yopu'll be back finishing her before you know it. cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowand Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share #132 Posted October 10, 2016 Hi Pat, Dave, Paul & ca, and everyone else, It's pretty overwhelming to have support like this, thank you so very much for your good wishes. I didn't see this one coming, the problem disc was at C7/T1, so had an ACD&F procedure and home the next day. Wednesday will make it a week since surgery and I've already seen good improvement but might have to 'mask' the speedy recovery a bit to let the Admiral fuss over me a bit longer (risky, I know). I'm working with a squeeze ball to get the strength back into my hand as I've had muscle wastage there and need to re-build, but all is good and I'm happy. In my earlier post, I made a template to do the cut out of the port holes in the hull planking. I thought about not using the kit items then decided to proceed with them but needed to make sure that I didn't make the cut outs in the hull planking out of shape or the wrong size, so made up the template. I think it'll work pretty well. Next part will be to cut the slots for the Stb'd Channels and fit them, finish off the port hole windows and plan out the next steps as Dave said... I'm itching to get back to the model, so will let you All know how it goes... Again, thank you All so very much for your good wishes, Have a great day, Rowan D.

rowand Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share #135 Posted May 3, 2017 Hello Everyone, It's been a while since my last and I've been 'tinkering' with the model so my next post will have some pictures to go with it. I haven't made great progress but it's progress never-the-less. I shall report in with the pictures and in the mean time I hope all is well with your modelling projects.

rowand Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share #137 Posted May 8, 2017 Hello All, Thanks for your patience and dropping by. I've attached some progress shots from the last 6 months, Trimming Channels were re-done, windows fitted to the hull and with the smaller windows, I didn't like the lumps of cast material provided in the kit so I etched and painted the outline of the windows into the hull and glued in some fake hinges, guessed the sacrificial anchor rub strips on the bow and started with the deck fittings... Have a great day and happy modelling. Rowan D. maggsl_01, dashi, r2maru and 6 others 9 Quote Current build HMB Endeavour - AL Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowand Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share #141 Posted March 21, 2018 Greetings to All, Thank you for the kind remarks. It's been a while and the model is still in dry dock. I've had a couple of slow-me-down events since the last but we're moving forward and getting back on track. I thought that I should at least let you know that I haven't given up on the build. I had to put it aside for the moment but it will be underway again soon. I trust you're all well and your modelling is going ahead in leaps and bounds. Cheers, Rowan D.
