Brings back memories of a sawdusty kind!- the "bumper does narrow slightly where it rounds towards the bows - coming along and looking more Terror like. Keith -
welcome back John- i see your shipyard is rail served too😉. how about gluing strips of wood at 90degrees to the keel with a couple of support pillars like in a dockyard? If using the pillars they would need screwed or pinned as there is a lot of weight causing stresses. Keith
-
Coming along Hake- I must admit the scratch chainplates i built were a bit of an endurance test as you say there are a few to do- if doing again i would substitute the kits deadeyes for slightly smaller ones. Keith
-
I am debating at the moment if i should either buy the metal blocks for the steering chains, or attempt to scratchbuild them- as to the wooden drum - still looks better than what occre instructs. Keith
-
Really moving along now- really makes a difference with the more accurate stearing gear. Keith
-
well into the twentieth century ships would have electric navigation lamps and emergency oil navigation lamps- hence why you see the boards port and starboard with two lamps each- usually bottom lamp electric and oil lamp above. Keith
-
gotcha- think my eyes seen the small hole there and added an illuminator🤪 Keith
-
Progressing nicely Hake- and yes once all the deck furniture is in place the illuminators arn't that obvious- regards the missing one it is on the wooden structure the capstan sits on though it was removed for the steam vent pipe (how i have depicted mine). Straightening dowel ..... not sure it can be done to be honest though i have never tried to be honest. Keith

After a glorious first three days of long easter weekend working in the garden, day four equals rain so back to some more "last jobs" on terror. Using some blackened brass eyes from the kit added the empty davit mounts on the hull -Captain Crozier had the iron stanchions fitted at the waist removed but i very much doubt they would have removed the mountings. Still not sure what to do with that last whaleboat🤔 Also Crozier had the barge sent back, so should we have the larger ships boat there?!- also means you would be down to 8 boats as opposed to 9. Take care all Keith
-
Coming along nicely- i wouldn't bother filling any gaps in the first layer though as when adding the 2nd layer the glue will help fill/ seal them. Keith
-
😵💫looks like a load of greek to me 😁, but seriously that would be one hell of a device to show off! Keith
-
Ty Hake- i hope Keith S, Daniel and myself havn't scared you too much with all the altered details! Keith
-
Thanks Hake- i did realise some things too late for example the lamp room and W.C. and the open deck under the anchor deck (forecastle). If memory serves me right i think yours was the first completed Endurance on MSW. Keith
-
Hope it all works out in the end- this goes to re-estabilish why i never went down the rabbit hole of scale model rope making😉 Keith
-
Thanks for looking in and the likes- not much happening with Endurance at the moment, but i have finished the altered engine room skylight. Take care everyone. Keith
-
Thanks for the comments, likes and looking in- what a glorious weekend regards weather (been wave after wave of rain, mist, frost, snow and more rain through March)! Spent a little time amid gardening jobs in the shipyard with the stovepipe for captain croziers stove in place and one of the whaleboats stored on the skids portside (still not sure what to do with other whaleboat yet)....... i think the end of the build is in sight😜 on my Endurance log i posted a pic of a pair of black 5 steam locos simmering in below zero temps and will repeat it here- shows what it must have been like when they were using the steam engine on Terror! take care all Keith

Pack plenty of waterproof clothing Tom! Cumbria is on the south western border of Scotland -the old county of Cumberland which was altered in the 1974 county boundary change forms a large part of Cumbria which was the first part of Scotland to be annexed by Henry 1 for England in the 1100s (no town, parish or hamlet from Cumberland appears in the doomsday book). Keith
-
i used a dremel with a sanding drum on mine Tom- though watch out it is easy to take too much off and whatever happens dont take any off the forward edge forewards of midships and after edge towards the stern. Keith
-
Thanks Keith- was tricky as she was on my workbench and couldn't see properly through my phones screen but after cropping came out o.k. Keith
-
Thanks for the likes, views and comments everyone, i have been reading "The Terror" by Dan Simmons over the last week or so (the one the T.V. series was based on) and thoroughly enjoying it- back in the shipyard and we now have boat no.6 in place - not sure what to do with the whale boats... might have one on the skids port side and one on the port deck stern quarter? Take care all Keith

Welcome to the Endurance club. Keith
-
looking nice there Daniel- regards the wheelhouse windows i would glaze them as it will help stop those dust bunnies having an orgy in there 😁 Keeith
-
Glad to see you are still working on her- they have thimbles and lashed with rope as opposed to deadeyes. Keith
-
the two holes midships behind the foremast are actually pumps (occre messed up) and the two nearer the mainmast will be for the anchor chains which will go either side of the main hatch. Note the lower drawing does not cover our period though is interesting as it shows the earlier shroud protectors and the hatch off to starboard before it was moved midships like on upper plan for Erebus.
