mobbsie Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share #158 Posted April 10, 2013 Hi Guys, Thanks for the good wishes gents, gratefully recieved. There is some real talent out there, not only is there some superb ship builders but also students of language. This site impresses me more and more. I got back home on Sunday and started back on the Aggie on Monday, completed all the guns and carriages, the gun tackle for the 18lb'ers, Focastle planking glued on and rubbed down to bulkhead height and scrap blocks glued inside the main gundeck gunports to support the gunport linings when fitted. I'm currently working on the Quarter Galleries and having some fun, just trying to get the Stern fascia to stay in place when dry fitted, at the mo it's like a bl--dy catapult and pings off as soon as I get anywhere near it. Next job after the Galleries will be the forward bulkhead fascia and the roundhouses, the doors will be removed and new scratch doors fitted. I have a few pics, hope you like. mobbsie Full set of dummy guns = 26 x 24 lb'ers in my colour scheme In the box are two full sets of 26 x 18 lb'ers and 12 x 9 lb'ers again all in my colour scheme. 24 Gun tackle blocks and hooks for the gun carriages 24 Gun tackle blocks and hooks for the bulwarks Focastle planking done More to follow Anja and popeye the sailor 2 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobbsie Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share #159 Posted April 10, 2013 A few more pics Stern counter being planked. Stern Fascia's dry fitted So there we are, right up to date, fitting the quarter galleries is going to be fun but before I do them I have to glaze and paint the area inside them which will be white bulkheads with a black & white checker board deck, no furniture. mobbsie trippwj, popeye the sailor, freewheelinguy and 1 other 4 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadchemist Posted April 10, 2013 Share #166 Posted April 10, 2013 I like that stern fascia strapping job. I'm finding more and more that learning and figuring out how to strap a piece down during dry fitting is a life saver. Its amazing the methods we have to use to make things work/fit. I've been shaping the bulwarks on my little Swift build and the learning curve on something like that makes me appreciate the job in fitting one of the big ships. Thanks for more photos. Love eye candy! I can just imagine the gun crews on Capt' Mobbsies Aggy.

mobbsie Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share #171 Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Guys, Thank you all very much for the kind words and looking in. There was a good reason why the stern fascia would'nt fit right, I was sticking it in the wrong place, what an idiot !!!!!!!!!!!!!, after a lot of deliberation I found out where it should go, a simple error like that seems to take an age to sort out but a big problem does'nt take long at all. Starboard side Gallery in fitted and the port side will be done tomorrow, it's taken me the best part of today to do just the one, fiddly little b----rs they are. I still have to put the window frames in but they are glazed. I will have some pics soon. mobbsie trippwj 1 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
