dafi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share #1205 Posted February 7, 2016 Jan and Orca, you are reading me like a book - but even though not quite right ;-) I already was unhappy for quite a while withe the appearance of the beakhead bulkhead ... and this since July/August 2010 ... ... front nice ... ... inside horrible, visible internal structure as the planking was missing, and on top color going astray! But 5 years are enough! - And now comes something unbelievable, never seen and out of this world - I continue building without knocking something down ;-) First fitting doors and gunport lids ... ... then the inner planking, the stiffening of the door and of course seat of ease :-) Then the fittings of doors and lids ... ... and to use the attachments to the sprue to fasten the lids. First step ready :-) Just freshly fitted, I realised that the seat of ease was meant size wise to be only for children ... ... so small demolition program and a ergonomically better rebuild was to be done. And as there was no thrill so far in the update, I thought this was to be changed :-) In the first step 5 years ago I already drilled holes into the timberheads of the beakhead bulkhead to better guide the lines coming from the bow. But they should be rectangular to each house a sheave. But how to make a 0,75 hole into a double as high rectangle? Some tests and it proved realizable :-) This knowing I dared to touch the almost complete beakhead bulkhead ... ... working my way through ... ... inserted the sheaves ... ... and I am happy :-) Cheers, Daniel Dubz, CaptainSteve, Beef Wellington and 13 others 16 Quote To victory and beyond! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/ See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/ Finest etch parts for HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller Kit) and other useful bits. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafi Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share #1207 Posted February 8, 2016 Thank you Dirk and Mark, yes very happy - still :-) Thank you Frank, I will do so! I still was asked how the slots in the timberheads were done: Opened the hole by twisting the drill carefully up and down. Then I used the file that I already used for the glazing bars of the stern for the sides of the holes and made a even more pointed one for the top and bottom surfaces. Then I used a toothpick to smoothen the edges. And here still the comparison to the original part :-) Replaced the gunports, added a threshold, added the outer timberheads, guides for the ropes.

amateur Posted February 8, 2016 Share #1208 Posted February 8, 2016 How were the gunport tackles belayed? It seems as if the ports are too low to belay them on the beams of the deck above. Jan mtaylor and Martin W 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafi Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share #1210 Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) No Jan, your question was perfectly right :-) In the museum in P. there are the lanyards running up higher inside the bulkhead and are lashed onto the deck beams and fixed on a clamp. The clamp you see is an option but also serves for the door.

dafi Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share #1226 Posted February 14, 2016 Before somebody gets pi**ed, here some new endeavors. If one has a nice beakhead bulkhead, one of course wants also some nice planking with it. I dicided against the parallel planks and this is a challenge in that scale :-) The back - and with it the sides - of the planks sprayed black for the caulking and defined the ideal spacing of the planks onto the carrier plate ... ... and slimmed and glued. The front part of the waterpass was still easy, the plank just wetted and tamed ... ... but the little teeth were hard, first tried a carbon copy ... ... but was too undefined for the scale, so scanned it and printed out the template ... ... and worked much better :-) And already destroying the nice planking to carefully fit in the bowsprit :-) XXXDAn robin b, Dubz, hexnut and 9 others 12 Quote To victory and beyond! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/ See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/ Finest etch parts for HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller Kit) and other useful bits. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafi Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share #1227 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Keep teasing me Dirk, keep teasing me ;-) And now we come to the topics, that the dafi most enjoys! If someone gets pissed by this sh*tty topic - no worry, that is life ;-) First the press gang was send out. Then I realised, that a quarter drop of superglue can replace some tweezers ... ... and as usual, there was some serious cutting, bending and reassembling of limbs and wings ... ... and out came some characters that were a highest delight to create - including some bare bums :-) And here the gents are already doing their business, tight fit starboard ... ... everybody just one hole, the stressed faces are easing off ... ... as everybody eases off, at port a space is free ... ... but the gent in the red head already comes rushing in with urgent business ... ... while those sailors in the corners ... ... can ease off in peace and quiet ... ... while the double stools in the front ... ... are more cosy :-) The inside of the starboard roundhouse was for the lower officers that could follow the rush outside by the small window ... ... while as far as I know the one on port was also used by the sickbay. So that is the way that they are busily sailing towards victory ... ... but still have to check if the loo paper was used that way hanging into the water to give it always an appearance of clean fresh spring ;-) XXXDan Edited February 14, 2016 by dafi davyboy, docidle, Kevin and 15 others 18 Quote To victory and beyond! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/ See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/ Finest etch parts for HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller Kit) and other useful bits. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
