Hi Jeff. Nice way to finish the bow area. Planking is spot on Regards Antony. -
Hi. I own a Linisher as you call it It's similar to Marks and Yambo's Workers very well and is small enough to place on a shelf when not in use. Saying that I did a few mods to get a better sand on the disc. Disc was faced to make it paradel to the shaft ( it had a 1.5mm out of square wobble). Then had it balanced. Now runs a thousands times better. Also made a new angle slot and new angle setting system. ( slot in original was cast in and rubbish to use ) I do not use the velcro disks .. I use the self adhesive ones. Saying that -: its a Very usefull machine to have around. Regards Antony.

Hi Jeff. WOW thar looks impressive and the timber selection is spot on Is there a reason you started planking from the side to the centre ? Just curious. Nice workmanship Rusty. Regards Antony.

Hello shipmates. Another long update :- Spent a little time making a ropewalk. but this one is a little larger than the Philips shaver on I have used before. The shaver would not stand twisting the heaver ropes that I wanted for this model. The parts are from Ebay. Approx 2 hours to build. A simple servo tester, A cheep brushless speed controller, And a brushless motor. Gears used ..1 off 60mm dia 58 teeth, 3 off 20mm dia 18 teeth, 1 off 14mm Dia 12 teeth. Yes I have used miniature thrust bearings as I has them in my storage box. That’s about it for the Ropewalk. Now for the Build A test of the Tulip wood and the different types of caulking that I am using for the deck planking little loop on the wire ends for the Led lanterns to hang from. Wire hidden in the wood. Cut a line with the razor saw then push the brass wire into the slot. Main Gundeck in place But not glued. Bits missing are left out to enable deck to fit between the frames. View from the bottom. Completed Deck with out planking.(bottom view) Completed Deck with out planking.(top view) some of the furniture ready for assembly. close up of Joinery. Odd photo Completed Deck with out glue That’s it for now Enjoy. Thanks for looking in Antony.

Chain pumps
AntonyUK replied to dvm27's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Hi. Thanks for this post. I am doing resurch at the moment on chain pumps and this helps a lot Also found a page in PDF format.. It's quite large but it's worth a read if at all interested in chain pumps. http://nautarch.tamu.edu/pdf-files/Oertling-MA%201984.pdf Regards Antony. -
Hi Rusty. First Class on the corners and getting the angles just so. Lookin real nice. Sometimes interpreting the unknown is a inventive discovery of something that no one else has done before.( sounds ok in my brain mmm) . As dyslexia takes a hold. Nice work. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Thank YOU all for your very kind words ...I really do appreciate all the posts you people have made I do not think that I would have made it this far without my Proxxon mill and my Bryons saw. A stride to catch up with the skills that other modellers have on this forum .. A long. .Long way to go yet . Will post later on today with progress on the lower gun deck. Many thanks for looking in.. Regards Antony.

MDF for forms
AntonyUK replied to grsjax's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Hi. MDF is not very stable and if glued will pull apart very easy. The glue joint will hold but the fibres of the MDF will part. It's very poor to cut and will absorb moisture very quickly and swell. On the plus side it's cheep and easy to get hold off. Been there used it and I put it down to expearance learnt. So for me it's a no no. But others may have had better expearance's. it's brill for making Jigs. Regards Antony. -
Hello Shipmates. Thanks Paddy. I have to say your Cross section is one of the reasons I went into the cross section building. The Orlop Deck is now in place Very happy with the fit and the look. The deck planks on the Top Right look as if they are not stained... Yes they are The Housing and the Sail store walls are not fixed as they will need to be cut to size. Now I can start to Cut the timber for the bulwark of the Orlop deck. And so the Lower gun deck starts next week. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

Hi Floyd. Would not call it excited ... Relief that it fits perfectly would be my statement. Yes Kester this is growing into one very big cross section. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Thanks Rusty and Bob for you comments. Orlop is now complete and ready for final adjustments before fixing into place in the void. Gratings and planks that adjoin the Headers are not glued as they will be cut to fit after fixing the deck. View from top. Another angle of the Deck. A different angle. View of the underside of the Orlop deck. Another angle From the other side. That’s it for now. Will take a few photos when deck is fixed into place. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Thanks for your comments... Na .. I just make things look good . Another update :- Filling in all the planking on the Orlop deck at the moment and built the enclosure on the Orlop deck. Not yet cleaned up to remove the dust and lose fibers. Not sure that the walls are ventilated but they look nice. Door is built up with planks and the lock is a bolt through. No idea what’s on the real one The plank's are rounded as they are removable. The row at the back are as yet not stained or fixed. Need to stain before fixing. Three rows done. Progress is good and the Grating is made. But not cut to size yet. First row of the Planking. That’s it for Now. Thanks for looking in Regards Antony.

Hello Rusty. Like the other guys have said great detail to the joinery and fine work. I like the cross section as its some thing you can build a lot of detail into. And you are doing just that Regards Antony.

Hello Lextin. That's one very nice project. Well done on such fine work Regards Antony.

Hello Alexandru and Kester. Thanks for the feed back. That's was my thinking. Thanks again Antony.

Hello shipmates. Thank you for your kind words Mark, Floyd and Michael. Starting to plank the Orlop deck But I have a question.. For the victory buffs. Are the decks in the Orlop deck removable ??. The drawings in both books look as if they are and any photographs I have found do not show any treenails. Also the planks are short and held in position by the deck beams. Also have turned the 36 pounders out of Acetel / Delrin. Will cast enough for the cross section when I get the casting kit. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

Hi all. Just jumping in here with my comments and expearance with the Proxxon mill. Being a ex toolmaker I spent most of my life with mills/lathes and all sorts of machines. When buying you must look at the hardest and the biggist object you are going to machine. I have a Proxxon mill and it's well built for Small jobs. The gib's will need tightening before use as mine when I received it were quite lose. Very easy job to adjust. For me it's a very valuable tool to model ship making. Regards Antony.

Hello Alexandru. Top notch workmanship on the entire model. As usual you are raising the standard and it will challenge me to acheave a better quality of build. Very Very nice. Regards Antony.

Hi Jzwel. Happy birthday and have a good one Looking forward to your next post on the Triton. Regards Antony.

Hello Shipmates. Thanks for your kind words Jeff Another few photos with the Orlop deck fitted into its position. Not yet glued as I have the top surface to sand and clean up. Approx 5mm to trim off the pump house. Temporary spacer plank to mark the amount I need to remove from pump house height. View looking down onto deck. Thanks for looking in Regards Antony.

Hello. I have just read your build log. And I am very impressed with you skill and the model. That is a very nice looking forum/shape of the hull. Well done on such a fine ship. Regards Antony.

Hi Trevor. There are many ways to hide the wireing. As the wire needs very little voltage and current you can use very small single core wire. I have just built the Orlop deck on my Victory and here I lammanated the wires into the beams. This will have a very small loop at the end of the wire. And the LED's have a small hook. And they just hang in place. Another way would be to use foil tape along the beams before planking the decks ( Another member's clever idea ) Another method is to score the timber with a sharp knife then press the wire into the timber with the back of a spoon. Does not work well with cross grain If you are good with knots ... Get two pieces of wire and loop them to make chain. (for the drop to the lantern.) Please add any ideas. Hope this helps. Regards Antony.
