Patrick Haw Posted May 18, 2013 Share #95 Posted May 18, 2013 Hello Derek, Just checked in on your build for the first time in a while, and goodness, what fantastic progress you've made. She's really looking good and you did a great job with the port lids. My progress has been slow lately what with spring finally here and lots of garden work and getting the pool open. Hope to have something to post soon. Keep up the great work! Patrick Quote HMS Victory by Patrick Haw - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocean clipper Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #100 Posted May 24, 2013 Hi Derek I just looked in on your build log of thr HMS Victory again and you are doing a great job of this great ship. I especially like your stern gallery it sure dose stand out and I know that you must be very proud of it along with the rest of your great build. I am also building the HMS Victory but from AL. in my kit the the taffrail is just a plank of wood, I was wondering if you could tell me what this Taffrais is made from, and can it be perched separtly, I think that a Taffrail like you have would look great on my HMS Victory.

ocean clipper Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share #101 Posted May 25, 2013 Hi all AM now proceeding with the bowsprit,i do not possess a lathe so am making do with a large chuck on my drill,the first thing i do is make sure the dowel runs true and not all over the place,i then use a davids plane turning the chuck by hand,then i start the drill up and lay a smooth file onto the dowel,when the dowel is down to the correct thickness,i then hold some smooth sand paper over the towel while it is rotating,ok its primative but it works well..

Yon Posted May 25, 2013 Share #102 Posted May 25, 2013 Hi Derek I intend to do much the same thing. Was your chuck big enough to take the dowel or did you have to reduce the diameter of the dowel first ? I don't think my chuck will be big enough !

Shipyard sid Posted May 25, 2013 Share #104 Posted May 25, 2013 Derek Good that the the largest dowel fits your chuck. Mines ok too. I think there are only two more lengths of 12.7mm to do, and there's not a lot of work to do on them reduction wise. Enjoy your party today with the kiddys.

ocean clipper Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #107 Posted May 26, 2013 This is just something i put together using scrap wood,going to put a few more holes in it so it takes more dowel sizes,as well as ensuring the dowel has a better chance of running true,it will or should stop any of the thinner dowels snapping as i down size them.(that's the theory anyway) Derek Quote current build HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocean clipper Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share #108 Posted May 26, 2013 Can someone who is building Jotikas victory got to plan 11 top right corner part 69 bow sprit cap tell me if they think it should be pre drilled one square hole one round offset and angled as per bowsprit,then go to the parts manaul where it shows to me a blank piece.mine is blank all other caps 66 67 68 are pre drilled,wondering if its a manafacture error.Thanks in advance DEREK Quote current build HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yon Posted May 26, 2013 Share #109 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Derek Mine has no holes in it too - must be an error in manufacture. Its going to be tricky to make the holes if they are to be offset and cut to the right angle. Cheers Yon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davyboy Posted May 26, 2013 Share #112 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Derek, I haven´t built this model but FWIW I think they expect you to cut these holes yourself at the correct angle so that the cap is perpendicular to the waterline. The top and bottom edges should run parallel with the bowsprit. I built the C:C. HMS Cruiser which came with the holes pre drilled,a waste of time as they were not angled. Had to make a new bowsprit cap,easy enough to do that. Also,it´s worth checking out the mast caps. When I filed out the mortises to fit the mast tenons they were much too large because of the size of the pre drilled holes. Had to replace all the mast caps too all part of the fun of ship modeling I guess Regards, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipyard sid Posted June 1, 2013 Share #113 Posted June 1, 2013 Hello derek How's the masts coming on, I am working on the lower foremast at the minute. The bowsprit is finished but cannot be assembled at the moment. Hope all is well DAVID. By the way I have ordered some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocean clipper Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share #114 Posted June 6, 2013 Hello all the last thing i wrote was about part no 69 had no holes pre drilled transpires you do them your self,then it was on to the last part of the bowsprit which has 2 rings attached to them part numbers given where for the carronades,on phoning jotika they had no clue and promised to return my call which they did eventually,only to tell me the numbers where wrong i allready found that out for myself,then the ring sizes supplied where wrong to,jotika who are normally helpfull where a waste of time ,there ring size solution was file other ring to correct size still trying to figure out how you file 5mm hole down to 4mm,no offer of we will send part out,beginning to think jotika losing the plot,going to source those rings elswhere now. Ok so far 2 pieces of Bowsprit attached,moving on to the masts foreward main is built not fixed as of yet,i was going to complete all the foreward first then the main and so on,but for no particular reason have now decided to do all the mast bottoms first.Have got to say i do enjoy this part of the build ok its slow going (is there a rush ? )for some reason i find building the masts and yards more interesting then the rest of what i have done dont know why i just do,quess we all got our favorite part of build.

DEREK :pirate41: Hi Derek - looking very good I have not had chance to do any work on my build for a week now - withdrawal symptoms are setting in, - but have a long weekend ahead - dam that’s full of DIY - lol i think the reason we look forward to masting is - that it changes the whole aspect of the build as we go from length ways to putting height in, and possibly a new chapter opening up, also a lot of work will have gone into the hull that will never be seen, everything you do now is there for all the see Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Shipyard sid Posted June 6, 2013 Share #120 Posted June 6, 2013 hello young man Well done Derek, keep up the good work. This is a good place to be on the build, and I reckon it can all be done by hand. The yard rings ? I have not got any 686 rings, I emailed caldercraft asking for the missing parts, and they mailed me back saying 686 on the bowsprit is an error it should be 689 and that was it. Have a look at Gil's bowsprit on page three of he's build log and tell me if the two rings are the same size, of course they are not. Don't bother about them derek I will send you some 686 s from shipyardsidsdockyard, forget about using 689. OK get outside in the sun with your knife and fork and whittle a piece of dowel DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
