Chuck got a reaction from fatih79 in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Chuck - FINISHED - 1:48 scale - kit prototype
Just a small update. I worked on the inboard stern details. The seats are completed. Card templates were made first using the plans as a guide. Then they were tweaked to get a nice tight fit with the parts.
Cleats were added...these are all laser cut Syren cleats (5, 7, and 9mm). All that was needed to do was sand them a bit to shape and then add a piece of wire as a pin. Then they were glued into place. I decided to paint these bulwark red also to match the many contemporary models I have seen.
Finally....the horse was added for the boom sheet. This was just a small piece of wire bent to shape. Two small washers laser cut from paper were added to finish it off nicely on each end. They were painted to look like metal. I should have dusted the model better before taking the pics....next time
I will now continue my way forward along the bulwarks adding eyebolts, cleats, ladders and pin rails.

Chuck reacted to Stuntflyer in HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by Stuntflyer (Mike) - FINISHED - 1:48 scale
Just a small update. .
After applying a coat of W-O-P to the deck I decided that it was a good time to attach the windlass. The most important thing was to get the windlass centered and parallel to the other deck structures like the coaming directly behind it. Varying plank widths at the bow meant that I couldn't use those joints as an additional guide for alignment. With this in mind and not trusting my eye, I decided to make a jig. The jig was made from a stick ripped to the width of the distance from the coaming to the back of the windlass. Vertical pieces were then glued to the stick for the windlass to back up to. After heat bending the jig was I taped it down to the deck against the forward edge of the coaming. Aligning the windlass was a simple matter of centering it and backing it up to the jig while holding it down for a few minutes until the glue set.
Still need to clean up some of the dust remaining inside th ports.

Yes there would have been a discharge hole through the counter but it is rarely modeled. You can absolutely choose to show it if you want.

Chuck reacted to paulsutcliffe in HMS Sirius 1797 by paulsutcliffe - 1:48 - POF from NMM plans
after all the history and archaeology some work on the model, i have started the long job of hanging and lodging knees for the gun deck
each beam has copper bolts on the scarph joint, I have tried to do each beam as a unit as I saw on another build somewhere so there is also bolts through both knees
I am also giving the woodwork below another coat of tung oil as I move along, this is the third and last coat for the bottom of the ship
