Blue Ensign got a reaction from aydingocer in HMS Sphinx 1775 by Blue Ensign - FINISHED - Vanguard Models - 1:64 scale
For the past couple of weeks, I have been busily trying to complete the Yawl, which is now all but done.
Sphinx is now back in her case whilst we decamp to the Lake District for a spot of hill walking.

Post One hundred and Sixty-one.
The Launch – completion
8258
Busy, busy, in the workshop, a case of spot the the boat.
8264
With the wash-boards attached a fair bit of cleaning up is required, but overall I am satisfied that the modification was worth it.
8265
The Rudder
The final addition; as with the other boats I put the kit arrangement aside in favour of a working rudder using the typical long pintle at the lower end.
8254(2)
The long pintle is silver soldered using a fine brass eyebolt and pin.
8255(2)
A brass micro tubing sleeve is used to give support where it fits into the lower stern post.
8266
The long pintle is particularly important in relation to the Launch as to work the Davit the rudder would need to be removed quickly and easily.
8260
8262
If the rudder is shown in place, then the Davit is stored in the Stern-sheets.
8270
If the Davit is shown in place, then the Rudder is not fitted, it would be taken onboard.
8274(2)
For display purposes I will have the Davit in place as it is a launch specific fitting.
8276(2)
With ten days labour I think I’ve had my moneys worth out of the Launch kit, a lot of modifications in one small hull.
8279(2)
Two down, one to go.
