robert22564 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share #190 Posted October 16, 2016 I had done some of the deck planking while the quarter deck was on the bench without foreseeing any issues as you can see. However a dry fit did reveal a mistake, an error on my part because I did read the instructions but bloody forgot. Can anyone spot the mistake? note that the deck is not fixed into place and I still have a few bits to cut out.

Shipyard sid Posted November 6, 2016 Share #196 Posted November 6, 2016 Greetings Robert I have only just returned after a long absence and spotted your build. Well as I suspected nothing has changed at all. The same quality continues. Yep you are doing a cracking job. Clever clogs spotted your mistake in no time at all, or so I though. I thought one set of your stairways was the wrong way around, until I went through all the victory logs, and found the only ones wrong were mine. Continue the excellent work DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert22564 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share #197 Posted November 6, 2016 Hi Guys......yes I didn't reveal the mistake did I. The companionway to the Admirals cabin way should be offset to port, I had planked the wrong side putting my companionway to starboard. Thanks for your comments Mike and very nice to here from you again David, always good to know your watching over this log.

robert22564 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share #203 Posted November 28, 2016 A little more progress, I seem to be a little stumped doing these skid beam pillars.........not really knowing where to start. Maybe I should have taken care of those a little earlier in the build.

Glenn-UK Posted November 28, 2016 Share #204 Posted November 28, 2016 You have a nice looking build. I seem to recall the skid beam pillars being a right pain to install. Shipyard sid, maddog33, robert22564 and 1 other 4 Quote Glenn (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted November 30, 2016 Share #205 Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) The skid beam pillars are somewhat difficult, so you have to take it easy. Try one, they're always too long, take off some of it and so on. Use glue which cures slowly, so you have time to correct them. What is your plan with the rope handrail? It is supposed to go through the pillars of the middle companionway. Is that still possible? Your ship looks great, very neat!

robert22564 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share #206 Posted November 30, 2016 Hi Paul and thanks for the comments. I think I can safely say my Vic will not be as historicly accurate as yours is surely going to be, "which i'm really looking forward to following and learning from". With regards to the pillars of the middle companionway, uhm yes, I'm not in my workshop right now but i have this horrible feeling i've forgotten all about them. Can't remember installing those. Beleive it or not I think I still might be able to sort that little oversight. maddog33 and Seventynet 2 Quote Current Build - HMS Victory - Caldercraft - scale 1:72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipyard sid Posted November 30, 2016 Share #207 Posted November 30, 2016 Greetings Robert Yep I got to agree with Glennard and Paul, the pillars can be a bit awkward to fit. I used sideward tweezers ( or whatever they call them ) and as paul said slow setting glue. Looks like I also missed the rope handrail. Still cracking work.
