work on the 2nd planking starts- decided to emulate the run of planks under the iron plating as per original- will make planking rest of hull with walnut easier. used the veneer strip originally intended for 2nd planking and got to say it is very splitty and i wouldn't like to use it for entire hull- kudos to you guys who persevered with it! marking out position of timbers on bow planking underway needed help from dressmakers pins to hold some bits till glue dried take care all Keith

HMS Terror by Major - OcCre
clearway replied to Major's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
welcome to the terror club- with a little research you can iron out occres shortcuts/ mistakes😉 Keith -
a change is as good as a rest as they say Keith
-
i hear ya on the kit manufacturers altering details Scott- my billings Victory being a good point- if i listed everything they short cut / altered/missed i would end up with a book! Keith
-
cornwall model boats Keith- it is a caldercraft fitting so might be available else where- not cheap though because of the size i suppose- around £16 uk stirling per metre 😵 but it certainly looks the biz😁. Keith
-
wierd set up for the windlass for this ship Jeff but your fix is looking good,- are you going to just have a flat stern where it meets the counter or are you going to try the oft dreaded tuck? Keith
-
thanks Jeff - i have the longridge book too but them guys can assume you know the basic details and don't go into too much detail as to actual belaying- i decided to just run it through the Kevel in the end but a block and tackle then into the kevel would have meant lighter work for the crew = suppose most of the weight is taken by the slings and jeers though. Keith

thanks for looking in folks- made a start trimming planking on bulwark openings and fitted walnut plank above shroud protector - think the colour will be dark enough to not need painting🤔. Also the 10 links per inch studded anchor chain arrived- niceeeeee ( normally make my own but lifes too short and these links are only 3mm long by 2mm wide. take care all Keith
-
yep Keith the sketch is more accurate- the t.v. show would be more accurate for ships of nelsons time! i will use wire eyes and a length od brass wire for the jack stay- watch out occre have a lot of rigging leading wrong way! - lees masting and rigging will show you how, or just ask if in doubt😁 Keith
-
niceeeeeeeeeeeee😁- on the fishing vessels i have been on they led from the wires going from yard to yard to a couple of insulators to either the wheelhouse roof or radiocabin depending on size. Keith

i know how you feel- always the same when leaving the instructions well behind- do i go this way or that way🤔- and terror would most likely have had a jackstay on top of the yards for the square sails with the sail attached to it- not hanging from the bottom of the yards which was earlier practice🤨. Keith
-
the link on matthews victory log is for a demo on this site but looks cool either way- on the MSW link he actually reduces the sail area to make life easier- mines going to be full sail methinks after watching that😁 Keith
-
thanks for the views and comments everyone- back in the shipyard and we have the rest of the keels, the sternpost assembly and the bulwarks planked- still need trimmed around openings though😁. also bought these 1/72 ships boats from quaycraft which are 85mm long- i have a 100mm boat and some stud link anchor chain on order with cornwall model boats- by the time i have finished will have spent more on upgrades than cost of kit 🤪 take care all Keith
-
nope don't think so he is using a different technique which looks better. Keith
-
hello keith if you go to matthew kassebaum's hms victory log there is a link posted by mtaylor regarding making furled sails.😉 Keith
-
looks like hms revenge i built years ago by airfix
-
nice deck shot keith- note the sheaves in the bits on the fife rails at the base of the mast- the rope you see leading through one of them then tied off is for the jeers holding the lower yard up. i am going to plank them as i will most likely go for a varnished hull with just the "ice bumper" and lower masts bowsprit , mast doubling , tops and crosstrees painted white. Keith
-
slow and steady wins the race guys
-
and we move on with the fore yard lifts rigged- not sure whether to run the rope straight to the kevel or rig a block and tackle on the channel then to the kevel🤔 take care all Keith
-
cheers Jeff and thanks for likes and views as always everyone. giving the prow plenty of time to dry before fitting forefoot and keel /sternpost so started fitting the waterway. next up will line the bulwarks with the ceiling planks- dont know why occre didn't bother with any? Keith
-
holy sh**b*lls thats thin wire🤪 nice buckets though Keith
-
pic below shows set up for topsail yard halliard post 1810 -the topgallant yard halliard goes through a sheave in the topgallant mast.
-
don't say i didn't warn you guys 😁😉😇🤨🤨😉
