  1. Post 54 Yards There are four yards to be made. T’gallant Yard, Topsail Yard, Square-sail Yard, and Spread-sail Yard. The kit follows the dimensions of the drawings in the Alert Book. There is a problem in correlating sizes to other sources as not all described yards are included. The Adm Plan only includes the Topsail Yard (4’ shorter) and the Square-sail Yard (2’ longer) I have decided to follow the yard dimensions as per the kit/Alert Book. I start with the Spread-sail yard, the largest spar. Altho’ the kit instructions don’t cover the detail; the centre sections of most yards were octagonal in shape and for this reason I am making the yard from square stock. 4325 To form the octagon the yard is put in a ‘V’ jig and thereafter the arms are rounded on the lathe, tapering down to 2mm ø. The Square-sail and Topsail yards are made in the same manner, but the T’Gallant is made simply from dowel as there is no octagonal section. Not indicated in the kit but Alert carried a Mizen mast. This slots into iron brackets attached to the face of the stern platform. 4339 Simple enough to create one. 0095(2) Made from 3mm ø dowel with a length of 170mm. 0086(2) 0091(3) This won’t be displayed erected on the model but stored on the deck. The yard furniture consists of Sling cleats and yard arm cleats, provided in brass etch form in the kit. 0101(2) I initially had mixed feelings about the kit pieces; on one hand they are a neat and effective way of adding these items but look a little thin to my eye and will need painting. On the other hand, making these items is a fiddly business, and only a wood like Box or perhaps Pear is suitable, and they are very tiny. 4362(3) When I tried the etched items, I thought they looked ok, so the kit items it is. I chemically blackened them before use. Had I intended to varnish rather than paint the yards, then the wood option would have been necessary. One other item to consider is the addition of thin battens covering the octagonal sections. To batten or not to batten, that is the question. Goodwin in the Alert book writes that in ‘all probability’ the Square sail yard was made from two pieces and had battens; but was ‘not altogether certain’ that the Spread-sail yard was similarly made but thought it likely. Lees indicates that the battening of yards which began in 1773 related to two-piece yards on larger ships, and that the practice was normal on most ships after 1805 except for small vessels. David Antscherl also omitted them from the yards in his rigging book on the Sixth rate Sloop. (Vol 1V) I didn’t add battens to my Pegasus build. Apart from some historical doubt and the absence of this feature on contemporary cutter models I have some reservations about adding these simply from an aesthetic viewpoint. At model level there is a tendency for them to make the yard centres look too bulky to my eye, even tho’ at 1:64 scale they would be a mere 0.3mm thick. 4360(2) Even so out of curiosity I mocked up an example starting with some 0.5mm strip. 4359 I prefer the unbattened look and am happy to omit them on this build. 4361 Completed Spread-sail Yard. 4363(3) The Yard set for Alert.

  2. Hi bitter, You have made a very nice job of completing the hull, but the run of planking up to the bow is not as you say historically correct in relation to Pegasus in particular, and British ships of the era in general. This is not going to really detract from the beauty of your hull as a model, but if it bothers you, coppering would cover most of the lack of tapering of the bow planking. Regards, B.E.
  3. Thank you Vane. I used Boxwood strip for both Deck and hull planking. Above the wale I used the kit provided 1mm thick Boxwood Strip, (which is actually supplied for the decking), and below the wale some thinner stuff, 0.7mm thick. I also used the thinner Boxwood strip for the decking. Cheers, B.E.
  4. Post 53 Booms and Gaffs Another case of confusing terminology here. The kit lists a Main Boom (283mm) and a Driver Boom(181mm) I think the Gaff has been misnamed as a Driver Boom in the kit instructions, altho’ the overall dimensions are in keeping with a Gaff. The Alert Book Drawings have a (Main)Boom (273.75mm) and a Gaff, (171mm) but also show a Storm Gaff (79.5mm) and a Driver Boom (184.5mm). Sizes scaled up from 1:96 drawings. The Admiralty plan lists: A Boom 58’10” (280mm) 12⅝” ø (5mm) A Gaff 40’ 0” (190.5mm) 9” ø (3.6mm) A Storm Gaff 17’ 0” (81mm) 93/8” ø (3.72mm) A Driver Boom 27’ 0” (128.5mm) 6¾” ø (2.7mm) The Alert Book links the Driver Boom to the Storm Gaff, presumably for carrying reduced sail. The Main Boom is linked to the Gaff. Steel Main Boom 66’ (14¼”ø) (314mm) Gaff 49’ 6” (10¼”ø) (235.7mm) Driver Boom 42’ (8”ø) (200mm) Storm Gaff 21’ ( 8¼”ø) (100mm) As can be seen there are variations, some of them greater than others, so you pays your money and takes your choice. For my build I am going with the kit despite the gaff about the gaff. Booms were not evenly tapered, and ship and cutter booms differed in their proportions. According to Steel:- For Cutters. The maximum dimension is towards the outer end at the point of the sheet, just inboard of the stern. Taper is then made both inboard and outboard to given proportions. The inboard section is quartered as follows; Max scale diameter 5mm 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr 40/41 11/12 7/8 2/3 4.87mm 4.58 4.37mm 3.3mm Outboard section Mid Point End 11/12 ¾ 4.58mm 3.75mm I made a boom to these proportions and it looks good to my eye. 4318 This shape is not reflected in the kit where the maximum diameter is at the inboard end, tapering to 3mm at the outboard end. The Jaws The kit provides a simplified all-in-one version that simply slots over the end of the boom. In practise the jaw and tongue were made up of separate sides, port and starboard, fayed and bolted to the chamfered boom end. 4317(2) The ‘iron’ bands are only there temporarily at present. I don’t really like kit boom jaws they always look unconvincing. I did use the kit version, but I split it and fined it down to suit my eye. One of the worst examples I have seen of pre-formed boom jaws, is a lumpy, clumpy, blocky, example provided in the Pickle kit, but it is easily remedied. The Gaff 4320(2) This was made as per the Boom, but the maximum dimension is 19mm from the inboard end. Maximum scale diameter 3mm. 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr 40/41 11/12 4/5 ¾ There is still the finishing to do but that can wait until the yards are made. My aim is to get the sawdusty element out of the way and clean up before I get onto the finishing. B.E. 10/01/2020
  5. Post 52 Mast and Yards In preparation for mast and yard making, my standard approach is to firstly compare the given dimensions across several sources. I compared the scale lengths as per a) the kit. b) Steel. c) The Alert Book. d) Admiralty Plan. The Bowsprit I have already made to the kit dimensions, which are very close to the Admiralty plan notation. The main/topmast is the first job. (In Cutters the main/topmast are combined to make one lower mast. Kit Steel Alert book Adm Plan Length 367mm 419.1 423.9mm 373.8mm Diameter 8mm 8.7mm 8.7mm 8.0mm With a diameter of 20” (8mm scale) *The quarters work out as follows: Partners 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 20” 19¾” 18¾” 17⅟8” Scale 1:64 8mm 7.83mm 7.44mm 6.8mm *Taken from Steel. The kit taper from 8mm to 7mm is close enough, and the dimensions given in the kit instructions matches those of the Alert Book. I like to mark the quarters on the dowel to get as far as possible an even taper during sanding. 4236 I am making the mast from some Ramin dowel, so this will entail either adding the square section above the cheeks with some square stock or taking the riskier route of squaring off the top end of the mast. 4286 I squared off the top section by hand and eye using a fine chisel, content in the knowledge that I could always cut it off If I didn’t like it. Where the cheeks fit, the mast needs to be flattened off and some more fine chiselling is required to set the cheeks into the mast sides. 4285 I somehow lost the kit provided cheeks, but they are easily replaced, cut from Boxwood sheet. Treenails were added to secure the cheeks. Note: there is an orientation to the cheeks, the top is angled upwards aft. This is to compensate for the rake of the mast when fitted and will bring the trestletrees level. With the cheeks in place, the Trestletrees can be test fitted, these follow the line of the cheeks. I used the kit provided laser cut versions which were accurately cut and robust for what is usually a fragile kit item. T’gallant Mast All the references agree to the scale length of 170mm (35’6”) A shorter Storm T’gallant mast of 25’ scaling to 119mm could be used if height is an issue on the model. The kit indicates use of 4mm dowel for the T’gallant mast, but I think there should be a square heel on the mast to fit into the trestletree. 4288 I made the mast from 4mm square stuff and rounded the mast on the lathe. The incorporated Pole head is very narrow (1.5mm ø). 2mm was the smallest diameter I risked on the lathe lest the part snap, and the pole head was finished by hand. The final test is does it all fit together with the Mast Cap. Yes it does.😃 A minor point for the detail obsessed, the hole in the mast-cap to fit the tenon on the lower masthead should really be square not round, as should the Masthead tenon. 4294 I replaced the kit part with a Boxwood version. 4295 4293 4292 Still stuff to do on the masts, sheaves to cut, cleats to add, and finish to be decided.

  6. We’re all looking at these things removed some 250 years from the time, and your insights and input are always welcome Dirk. Thankyou, B.E.
  7. My understanding is that the Spread-yard was there purely to attach the clews of the Topsail and as such would have had a truss arrangement to secure the yard to the mast. I can't see how a horse would have been of regular benefit, as the Topsail was the sail most likely set . The Square-sail yard ran up and down on the horse to above the Spread-yard, and when used presumably had the sail attached at deck level, as far as I can see there were no footropes on the Square-sail yard. ps. William Falconer's dictionary published in 1780, also describes use of the Horse. HORSE is also a thick rope, extended in a perpendicular direction near the fore or after-side of a mast, for the purpose of hoisting or extending some sail thereon. When it is fixed before a mast, it is calculated for the use of a sail called the square-sail, whose yard being attached to the horse, by means of a traveller, or bull's-eye, which slides up and down occasionally, is retained in a steady position, either when the sail is set, or whilst it is hoisting or lowering. When the horse is placed abaft or behind a mast, it is intended for the try-sail of a snow, and is accordingly very rarely fixed in this position, except in those sloops of war which occasionally assume the form of snows, in order to deceive the enemy. One may presume that Falconer was writing before 1780 which puts his description as being extant at the time of the Alert 1777. B.E.
  8. No worry Dirk, it took me ages to get my head around the set up. It doesn't help that different terms are used for the same yard..🙄 B.E.
  9. I would have to disagree Dirk, I rather think that the yard and horse were dispensed with in the later rigs. I think Alert sits right in the period where this square-sail arrangement would apply. The Square-sail yard is listed on the Original plans for Alert, and Steel includes the Horse in the rigging requirements for a cutter. The later arrangement is shown on a model in the Alert book, circa 1785. It is annotated as... showing improved and standardised rig. The spread-yard by this period had been omitted and the foot of the topsail spread on the square sail yard. The longer topgallant mast was stepped afore the lower mast head. It makes sense to me that having both square-sail and spread-sail yards on Alert, that a horse would have been used. Whilst I accept that there were probably many variations in cutter rig during the last quarter of the 18th century, I think I will stick with the horse. if nothing else it will make an interesting variation.🙂 Cheers, B.E.
  10. Post 51 Square-sails, Crossjacks, and Spread-yards - What’s it all about? To properly rig a cutter of this era these need to be understood, and I start out not being very clear at all. I am particularly interested in the Square-sail yard, a peculiarity of this type of cutter, also referred to as a Crossjack yard (by Steel). I am unfamiliar with both the yard and rigging associated with it. The Alert book narrative indicates that the Square-sail yard was set flying between the Topsail yard and the Spread-sail yard which held the foot of the Topsail. The Spread-sail yard in this case is what we would think of and performs the same function as the Crossjack Yard on a Square rigger. Horse for Square-sail yard. Steel lists a ‘horse down the mast’ associated with the Crossjack yard which for our purposes is the Square-sail Yard. The Horse has an eye splice at the upper end lashed to masthead. The Lower end is set up with deadeyes and lanyard to an eyebolt in the deck forward of the mast. Horse 5” circ. (0.63mm ø line) 7” deadeyes (3mm at scale) Marquardt, Eighteenth-century Rigs and Rigging provides the most comprehensive description and drawings. Topsail rigged vessels had the horse fitted forward of the crossjack yard*. The horse was led through an aft facing thimble on the Square-sail yard. Note: *I have taken this reference to the crossjack yard as relating to the Spread-sail yard, otherwise it makes no sense to me. In relation to the Square-sail or Crossjack Marquardt writes: Bent to the yard and comparable to a main or fore course, this sail was usually known as only as a Square sail, though Steel called it a crossjack. The latter name was used by Falconer only for the sail carried on the crossjack yard of a three masted ship, and he commented ‘this sail, however, has generally been found of little service and is therefore very seldom used.’ The Square-sail was only bent to a crossjack yard if the vessel did not carry a square topsail (Alert did) If a topsail was set, it was bent to an extra yard known as a square-sail yard, or club yard, which was hoisted up to the crossjack yard. In vessels with only a Topgallant mast stepped, (as with Alert) this yard was hoisted past the crossjack yard to below the hounds. The square-sail frequently had a bib to fill the space left by the deeply roached topsail. Use of a Horse is not mentioned in either the Alert book or the Kit rigging instructions. If a horse is to be fitted, then an eyebolt will be required at the foot of the mast to secure the deadeye. I mocked up a mast/yard arrangement to clear the set up in my mind and establish the position for the lower deadeye on the deck. 4213Li The Square-sail yard can thus be lowered to the deck, running down the horse. 4220 I trial fitted the arrangement on the model and I think it works. 4217 4215 The deadeyes can be made up off the model and be hooked or seized to a deck eyebolt which I can now put into place.

  11. I'm not sure that the paint has special properties and I think they have been discontinued, probably on ecological and health grounds. I bought a set of the Floquil marine colours many years ago, one of which was the Verdigris. The others had interesting names like Tallow Coat, Pine tar oil, Weathered Manilla, and Orange Ochre. I don't think you would have much trouble finding a substitute Verdigris paint, it is widely used to create an aged copper look in the arts and craft world. B.E.
  12. Hi Shipman, This is the section I wrote on the original log regarding hull weathering. The Verdigris effect looks nice on models but remember that in reality it would only occur where the copper is exposed to the air, ie above the waterline. For a ship in the water the copper would be a fairly uniform dull brownish colour. Note: All the paints used were spirit based.. Weathering the hull The copper plating was painted using Humbrol No 12 copper. This was followed up by painting individual plates slightly different shades of copper at random. 005 Much thinned down Floquil Verdigris was used for the initial wash, and using downward strokes was all but removed to allow the basic copper to show thro’ but dulled down. 007 Using a fine brush neat Floquil Verdigris was brushed down in vertical lines and over brushed with Admiralty dull white. 002 White spirit was then liberally brushed down over the paint to create the effect. 009 Once dry, a 5/0 brush was used to apply a little more dull white in fine downward strokes. This is more or less the result I am after, but there is always the temptation to fiddle with the weathering long after the initial application has been made, and touch up work will be required once the hull halves are put together. B.E.
  13. Thank you Shipman, doing this build was certainly testing due to the scale and ageing eyes, I don’t think I could do it again. I’Il have a look thro’ my files and see what I have recorded about the coppering finish. B.E.
  14. Post 50 Draught markings This is an opportune time to add the draught markings down the stem. I found these quite tricky things to apply, getting the spacing and orientation looking right. 4153(2) They were chemically blackened and once fixed a weathering powder mix was sparingly applied. Galley chimney. 4136 I remodelled this from a piece of Boxwood sheathed in lead foil. The Guard rope stanchions are not immediately required, but a convenient time to blacken and trial fit them. 4155 To my eye the provided kit stanchions looked a little heavy for the scale. Fortunately, I had some stanchions left over from my Pegasus build which are finer in profile and I used them in preference. They will be put aside until the rigging is completed; they present as perfect snag magnets. Carrick Bitt pin racks (parts 57,58) These fit thro’ slots in the Carrick Bitts and in the Pawl Bitt strongback. 4128(3) Came across a little problem here; when I came to fit these, instead of running level between the two bitts they angled upwards because the slot on the Pawl bitts was higher than on the Carrick bitts. I have no idea how this has come about; I had checked the fit during the assembly stage, and it seemed ok, or at least I thought it did. The windlass assembly is firmly fixed to the deck, so removal and re-working was not an option. 4143 A bit of very careful scalpel work on the Pawl bitts was required, followed by some filler and re-painting. Inclusion of these pin racks stems from the Alert book and is duplicated in the kit. Still not sure about them on cutters of this period but there is a need for them when it comes to rigging so I follow suit. The kit provides brass etched belaying pins which didn’t suit my eye. 4177 The Alert book drawings show what are termed belaying posts, more rectangular in shape than a traditional pin, and I opted for these instead using some 1mm Boxwood section. 4166(2) I need to shape the posts a little more and test them for strength. 4174(2) Time to look at the masts and yards. B.E. 03/01/20
  15. Hi rk, This is the Chapter from my original log on the subject. Faking it at 1:150 This is the stuff I used to recreate the deadeyes, chains and Preventer plates on the French Seventy four. 015(2) The deadeyes are 2mm Amati code 37160 The plates were fashioned from Amati copper hinges code 4130; the source items and the formed plates can be seen on the black background. 34 gauge beading wire was used to form the strops and chains. Telephone wire was used to position the plates whilst fixing, and to form the bolt heads. Brass black /and or paint was used to colour the chains and plates. Caldercraft professional thick super glue used to secure the plates and chains to the hull. Tools used consisted of a pin vice with 0.4mm drill bit, and pliers to hold and cut the plates whilst forming, and nip off the chains. The plates were held in the pliers, and were formed using needle files A fine brush will be used to colour the chains. 009(2) Here the chain wire is used to mark the position of the top hole for the Plate. 10 Here the chain wire has been hitched to form the first link. 15 The plate is held in the first hole to mark the position of the lower hole. 19 The plate has been secured by telephone wire super-glued into the lower hole It will be nipped off to form the bolt head. 30 Here the chain ends have been secured and super-glued thro’ the top hole of the plate and into the hull. 11 The completed run of chains and plates on the Starboard Fore channel. 7(2) 36 Regards, B.E. 03/01/20
  16. Great job Allan, Billing boat kits are old school, and what you’re doing takes some doing.😊 B.E.
  17. Thank you Jim, much appreciated. 🙂 @ VTH - I'm sure you will enjoy this kit especially if you have the newer version with enhanced fittings. It's a good first planking subject, not too bluff in the bows. @ Dave - Thanks Dave, I'm always pleased when I reach this stage of a build. Hope things go well with Speedwell in 2020. Happy New Year Guys. B.E.
  18. Post 49 Hull completion This post marks six months into the build and completion of the hull by the fitting of the gun side tackles and remaining deck fittings. 4089 4094 4084 4085(2) 7771 4097 4091(2) 4092 4090 7764(2) That’s it for 2019. Wishing my fellow MSW members successful modelling in 2020 B.E. 29/12/2019
  19. Post 48 Gun rigging (Part 2) The breeching ropes are at last attached, and scuffs on the iron work touched in. 4005(2) 4001(2) It is time to fix the guns in place along the bulwarks. A small dot of pva is applied to the trucks to fix them to the deck, and the breeching lines can then be attached to the bulwark. 4023 Quite fiddly getting the eyebolts into the bulwark holes without marking the paintwork or even worse the gun blackening. 4024 The eyebolts also have to be orientated to allow the Breeching line to hang properly. 4028 4015 The Breeching lines are not glued down and it’s quite nice not to have to fight them to get them to drape naturally. 4013 4025(2) 4026(2) 4029 I’m quite pleased with the look of her, but now onto those side tackles, 24 tackles to make up, - what joy. 🙄 Happy Christmas to my fellow MSW members, and thank you to those who have shown interest in my build over the past six months. Gun Rigging (Part 3) In this post I am making up the Side tackles, again jigs are required to ease the pain of making up these fiddly little items. 4036(2) The Alert Book indicates 5” double* and single (hooked) block combinations for the side tackles. These equate to 2mm blocks at scale. *I seem to recall that only single blocks were used on small guns such as six pounders, so that is what I will use. The tackle line is given as 2” circumference with 30’ length This scales to 0.25mm ø with a length of 143mm. Making up the tackles I am using Syren Boxwood 3/32” blocks (2.38mm) to give me a little leeway over the tiny 2mm blocks given that hooks must be attached. 4033(2) For the hooks I am using Syren 3mm black plastic hooks, something Chuck no longer supplies, but they are ideal for tackle rigging at small scales, much neater than the equivalent 3mm brass etched versions. For the tackle lines I am using Syren 0.20mm line which will provide a visible contrast to the heavier Breeching lines. The blocks are rigged using a third hand tool, and the tackles are completed on the ‘Gun’ jig. Each tackle assembly takes me around 20 minutes to complete. For the full set around eight hours of work are required, but it feels a lot longer than that. Side tackles are difficult to get looking right; often on models the blocks look over-scale and with the necessary addition of hooks there is only a short space between the two blocks, which makes the tackle arrangement look unconvincing. There is a particular issue with Alert where the securing eyebolts for the tackles are placed in the faces of the shot garlands, reducing the distance between the tackle blocks. In practice with guns run out the tackle blocks are quite close together as apparent on this shot of a twelve pounder on the Quarterdeck of Victory. 12 Pounder gun, Victory Qtr Deck. I much prefer this look of secured tackles rather than stylized cheeses arranged on the deck. The Royal Yacht Squadron it ain’t. Getting a loose frap arrangement at model scale is very tricky, so my approach is to frap the lines and arrange the line ends in a loose coil. This too is somewhat stylized, but it is my option at this scale. Once made it is fairly simple to attach the tackles to the guns. and making up separate coils completes the job. B.E. 24/12/2019
  20. Post 47 Looking at Anchors. Taking a break from the tricky business of gun rigging preparation I’ve had a look at the anchors. According to the Alert Book five anchors were carried: 1 sheet anchor 17/18cwt 2 bower anchor 14/15cwt 1 stream anchor 6cwt 1 kedge anchor 3cwt The kit provides two white metal cast anchors to represent the bowers. They are cleanly made and to an accurate scale for the Sheet anchor (Best Bower), but perhaps a tad large (by 5mm) for the smaller Bower usually stowed on the port bow. 3976lI Alongside are outsourced anchors to represent the smaller Stream and Kedge anchors. I was less impressed by the wooden stocks; they had caught my eye on the photo’s in the kit build manual, looking too thin and without the depth to allow proper shaping. Ideally, they should be deeper in the centre section to allow for a taper upwards towards the arm ends. They did however reflect the taper towards the arm ends when in plan view. 3977lI The issue can be seen here, the upper stocks are from a Caldercraft anchor kit which are properly split down the centre and allow for shaping. The lower stocks are the kit provided items which for me don’t pass muster. Using the Caldercraft stock as a template, replacement Boxwood versions were made cut out of 3mm sheet. 3987 3986 3985 I will leave the finishing off until later and return to a last push to complete the Breeching lines, seven down, five to go. B.E. 20/12/2019
  21. Thank you Gregory, that is just the test version which won't be used on the model, but I think I will have had enough of them by the time I've completed twelve pairs.….. and then there's the side tackles. 🙄 B.E.
  22. Post 46 Gun rigging (Part 1) For this I will be using Syren rigging line and blocks. The kit provided rectangular single hole blocks belong to a gone-by kit era, and there are many better options now available. Breeching line 4¼” circ; 24’ length. This scales to 0.54mm ø and with a length of 114mm. I am using Syren 0.63mm line. 114mm scale length seems a bit long on the model, the breeching rope needs to have slack to allow for recoil and look realistic, but too much and it simply looks untidy. Conversely one of my pet hates is a breeching line too tight that would allow no recoil at all. I played around with the length and decided on an 80mm line. Attaching the line to the bulwark rings and over the button and thro’ the carriage rings is a fiddly business and connecting the line to the bulwark rings I find almost impossible to do neatly with the gun insitu. One of the objectives is to not have the splice around the bulwark ring too bulky. Modellers cannot do better than follow Chuck’s method as given in his Cheerful build. 3950(2) A simple jig is used to hold the bulwark rings at the correct distance apart. One seizing is made, I use 0.1mm Morope line and a needle, the carriage side rings are slipped over the line and the other seizing made. 3948 The line at the centre is split apart to fit over the gun button, and the job is done. 3957 Trial fit on the deck. 3958 Difficult to properly arrange the breeching rope at this stage as neither gun nor rings are yet fixed, but the prime objective of confirming the line length is achieved. I can now at last fix some of the hatches in place. 3959(2) 3963 The Main hatch grating has been modified to allow passage of the anchor cables. Twelve sets of Breeching lines have now to be made up. Not one of my favourite jobs, a rather tiresome exercise. B.E. 18/12/2019
