HMB Endeavour by shipaholic - 1/51


Recommended Posts

Who'se to say whether right or wrong Steve, these design parameters usually morphed over a period of time rather than as a regulated change - they look good.

 

cheers

Wow, Siggi52 just posted som pics of the Royal George in the gallery and if you open the hi-res pics you can see the skylight on the poop deck a bit clearer. It shows a skylight exactly how the Endeavour one is described in the refit documents - with a sash all round and a grating on top.

Current Build: HMB Endeavour 1:51 (Eaglemoss part work)

Previous Builds: USS Constitution (Revell plastic) HMS Victory 1:96 (Corel) HMB Endeavour 1:60 (AL)

Thanks Dash and thanks for the likes Pat, Slog, Greg and Ron

 

This pic shows how the Endeavour with the taller mizzen and with all the lines and dimensions right looks like a normal 1770's sailing ship

I have got all the masts done and painted now. Spent today making the Jeer blocks. I am using single blocks for both the upper and lower jeers, like the replica has

Hi Dave

 

I used this mesh it came in a pack of 10 of these circles that are 30cm diam, it was long time ago that I bought it, can't remember where I got them, it was either Spotlight of Lincraft. If you can't find something similar I could post you some. I still have 9 unused ones

 

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Michael

 

In relation to your question about caps on Dave Rowe's build, here is an explanation;

 

post-819-0-48724000-1472543505.jpg

 

The cap has a square hole to fit on the top of the lower mast which is squared off

 

post-819-0-30554000-1472543592.jpg

 

Here is the lower mast cap in place. It has a round hole for the topmast. The round hole must be a slightly larger diameter than the thickest part of the rounded section of the topmast

 

post-819-0-89589300-1472543715.jpg

 

As Dave mentioned the topmast is raised through the hole in the cap, once in place the fid is put in place to stop the topmast from sliding back down. In the third pic shows the base of the topmast and the fid. The base of the topmast is squared off and wider than the rounded part so its not able to be slid down through the hole in the cap, that why the topmast must be slid up through the cap.

The square part of the topmast base is just smaller than the square hole in the top so it can fit through

 

post-819-0-58969200-1472547294.jpg

 

The topmast cap is the same deal, a square hole for the top of the mast and a round hole for the topgallant mast to slide up through. For model building purposes you can just slide the cap down onto the topmast or topgallant mast from the top

 

post-819-0-88136500-1472544141.jpg

 

It all fits together nicely without glue if all the dimensions are right

Hi Steve,

 

A most clear explanation. Thank you.

 

I got as far as the bottom section going up through the cap. But what threw me was the bottom of the top mast is also square. How did the hounds get through a small hole pulling it up ? Or, did they put the hounds on after- I think not. It never occured to me to take the simplest solution of making the mast cap hole larger.

 

You gotta love it!

 

Regards
