Have a great trip, Pat.  Endeavour is looking fantastic in her home for now.

Just catching up after a couple of weeks away, Pat.  She really looks the goods.

 

Just a point of interest re your base idea; when I first went to sea in the early 60's, most of our charts of the Australian east coast had in their title, "Based on surveys by Lieutenant James Cook R.N."  Not a bad bit of survey work for a bloke working in 1770!!

Hi all, many thanks to all for looking in, the likes and comments.  A couple of quick responses as I get on the road today :)

 

Keith - not quite finished, still the fore top gallant spar, some rigging, fitting the small bits and pieces (e.g. deadlights, quarter shutters, swivel guns etc) - but not far off :)

 

John, yes very impressive charting.  Until relatively recently, some of the reef charts were still his original work which reflects on the quality of his surveying and navigation, and the trust placed in him by the Admiralty.

 

cheers

 

Pat

Hi all,

 

I am finally getting towards the end of this build but I still have a lot of small detail to go.  I have been busy making bits and bobs for this detail while finishing the rigging.  As you can see from the progress shot, I only have the braces and tye for the fore topgallant for the rigging (unless I have missed something (quite likely) :)

 

The deadlights are well progressed and should be completed in the next couple of days; these will be displayed in the open position. The rudder pendants have been completed and will be fitted once the deadlights have been fitted - the spectacle plate has been fitted.  The swivel guns have been completed but will be the last items fitted (after adding all the coils etc to the belayed lines and ropes etc).

 

I have decided to fit the fish davit with the topping lift which has been rigged to a tackle hanging from the fore burton pendant.  I have also rigged the cat block (I know the boomkin and martingales should be removed for an anchoring evolution but I wish to show this detail) and I intend to hang the anchor, with cable bent on, from the fish hook and have a painter rigged from the cat block hook and led through the anchor ring and then to forecastle as if the anchor has just been raised.  One of the photos shows some of this detail.

 

[Edit]  I have forgotten to add a size reference.  The deadlights are about 22mm x 10mm.  The fish hook, cat block etc are all scratch.

 

cheers

 

Pat

Hi Pat,

All those little things to finalize, chew up the hours I am sure.

 

You don't really want to use those Swivel Guns do you. ?

Send then up to Brisy, save me the trouble of making some. !!

Hi Pat,

 

Finally getting to see the end but......then you wrote a list as long as the journey to the moon  :D  :D  :D

No problem about that ,it just good for us so we can still be happy ,watching you're Endeavour.

It looks top noch ( still a strange word for me )

When I taking a cup of coffee with you I will examen the build closely !!!!!

(Oeps, it is at the other end of the world for me  :( )

Keep on dreaming Sjors !!!

A little more progress to show folks, she now has the dead lights, swivel guns and rudder pendants fitted.  I was trying to get a bit of a rusty effect on the rudder pendant chains as these would have been beaten around quite a bit and I therefore believe they would have been a little rusted :)

 

I have made a start on the quarter badge window shutters and starting to rig the stbd anchor for which I have now rigged the cat tackle and fitted the cable bonnets (shown being constructed here - will show them fitted in a future post).

 

John (Neptune) - I wasn't going to add those lines but have fitted the blocks as I think they would have been left rigged when sail was taken down - I hope :)

 

cheers

 

Pat

Here are two progress shot as of yesterday morning.  Hopefully fit the lower studding booms to the main channels, and the quarter badge shutters today.

 

cheers

Hi again folks,

 

Another update :)  I have now completed the ironwork for the lower studding boom  which is shown temporarily fitted.  I still have some cleanup to do on the woodwork (and on the ship hull where I notice I have left some evidence of a misadventure).

 

The first photo is the promised shot of the cable bonnets shown fitted in place - the cable has yet to be tensioned and secured in place.

 

cheers

 

Pat

Pat,

Your metal work is as outstanding as the rest of the model. Do you do it freehand or use a milling machine. I have tried freehand and am getting nowhere.

 

Regards

Hi folks, thanks to all those who looked in and for the likes.

Ca. - This part of the ironwork is all freehand bending with metal forming pliers and soldering which is then touched up with a file. For example, the boom pivot joint is a bit of brass tubing of the appropriate ID (for the wire elbow) soldered to some flat strap brass which has a 90 degree bend applied.

 

cheers

No problems and appreciate that John; I am still learning - I just thought they would not have those lines rove without sails fitted.  I'll think on this issue though as I don't know if I have enough line for all these :)

 

cheers
