Ray got a reaction from Bettina in HMS Diana 1794 by Ray - FINISHED - Caldercraft - A 38 gun Heavy Frigate
The anchors were made up I used some split washers for the rings and added the puddening and used black tape for the iron bands,the overall look of the anchors are fairly good,they were then fitted in place.
I then went right through the rigging and made a few tweaks and a bit of re-tensioning (as photos below)and tidying up,only one job left adding the boats.
Anchors added
A stay pulled out of shape

Ray got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Diana By Barbossa - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 - The 1794 Attempt
Hi Christian
The boats look good nice with the clinker effect I carval built mine, I also took a lot more than two weeks more like eight, keep them coming the Pinace was my favourite.

Hello,
here's n°2 : the 24ft cutter
It's a bit of a mixture between the AOTS-data, Caldercraft mini-kit instructions and my own interpretation.
I've read somewhere in the general instructions that the completion of the lifeboats was +/- a fortnight ( evening work ) operation...hmm, I don't know . Although I'm bypassing some work with resin , It takes me more or less a fortnight for one boat.
But it's fun !

Hi Paul the blocks used for rigging the cannons are Amiti 2mm they need to be as small as possible to allow some space between them.

The ropes have been added to all the termination points, and the rudder chains fitted.

With the ships boats finished it has been back to the last of the rigging all be it slowly as other things have taken up most of my time in the last few weeks,the fore sheets tack and clue lines and the main sheets tack and clue lines have been added and rigging done !!!
I am now making lots of rope coils to add to the belaying pins and all the other rigging termination points.

Ray reacted to cwboland in Hunter 1797 by riksgewijs - Mamoli - 1:72 scale
Great detail on the painting. And some fine craftsmanship as well.
I have been looking at getting this model as well, but from what you have said, I think it may be easier to find some plans and just scratch build her, or at least all the deck furniture.
Looks like an interesting project. I will certainly pull up a chair and follow along.
