DenPink got a reaction from mtaylor in HMB Endeavour by kiwiron - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:54
Hi Ron
Don't understand why you cannot get your ropes to hang down.
What sort of wax are you using, and what glue for the knots.
Send me a PM and I will take you through it if you wish.
Your build is looking fantastic.
Denis
I will send you some wax that I use, but you may have the same one please let me know.

I've given up on the reef ropes for now I tried nearly every idea but nothing worked for me,maybe try different thread later on.Onto attaching a few sails,just need to make sure they aren't back to front like the first couple I did.Trial dry fit on the ship as well.

DenPink reacted to NMBROOK in best kit-supplied rigging line?
I have heard Amati rigging line is probably the best off the shelf non rope product
Kind Regards

Thanks a lot for all of your advice.The thread is Caldercraft I presume it's natural.I tried wetting and glue but that didn't work so i'll do it again as you've suggested with wax etc.

Hi Ron
To get them to lay down, you should have waxed them like Mark said.
After waxing them, tie a knot at the back of the sail put a spot of glue on.
Turn it over to the front of the sail and do another knot, then another spot of glue but at the same time hold the tail of the rope down wards let it dry.
The glue will hold it straight down.
You will have to pass the rope through some wax about 3-4 times on each side.
Hope this helps you.

Great work, Jesse. The new wooden carronade is a vast improvement.
Could you use the metal pattern shape as a template guide to check how much more shaping was required ??
I realize this doesn't reduce the amount of work you will need to do, but will help to maintain consistency across all of the new cannons.

Well, after starting to try wrapping with paper & CA, everyone was right. Way too much thickening required & I gave up on that idea. Thought I'd see how difficult turning Carronade barrels out of wood dowels would be. Held in a drill & using mostly files This is how the first one looks. This is somewhat difficult & time consuming for me but still much less time consuming than the paper & CA would be. I tried to use a pattern for shaping the whole barrel at one time cut into the side of a piece of metal but for some reason it wouldn't cut the wood. So I'm cutting each section with the files & modeling blades. Have actually got a second one turned & got them the same but wondering how difficult it will be to keep them consistent since there has to be 16 of them.

Maybe a 50-50 mix of white glue and water??? Did you wax the line first?

DenPink got a reaction from Piet in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Hi Nenad
I am so pleased you are not going to put your new friend in a cage, they love people around them.
We never had the three Old English Sheepdogs out side the house they were always inside apart from walking them and showing them at shows.
I think by looking at your photo that your dog will have a tail.
That is a shame as in this PC world we live in they are not allowed to doc the tail off.
That is how they got the nickname Bobtail.
Why they cut the tail off was because a dog uses the tail as a rudder (just like a ship) .
They used OES dogs to herd sheep and cattle from Wales and Cornwall to London, a dog with a tail split the sheep and cattle up so you had sheep and cattle going every were, so they cut the tail off the OES dogs so they could not turn so quickly this kept the sheep and cattle in one herd and not scattered all over the land.
I hope I have explained how they got the name Bobtail.
If you look after him or she they will reward you an 100 times more.

DenPink reacted to NenadM in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Decision was hard ... We like and want big dog, and haired dog, frendly to everyone. Siberian Husky was option, Serbian Sharplaninac, Samoied, but ... my office is settled in my house last two years and will be there until my retirement, and just imagine clients waiting in front of yard untill I run throught yard and arround house trying to catch and tie wild beast with weight of 50kg ... I don't need sharp quard dog
On the other side, I hate to keep dog in cage or permanently tied. What's the point having dog in that way? My yard of 700m2 will be his realm. Flowers will survive, I hope. If not ... what to do, Bobtail is ... Bobtail

DenPink got a reaction from CaptainSteve in HMS Revenge by Denis R - Victory Models (Amati) - Scale 1:64
Hi John
Like I said I am not working on the Revenge for another day or two.
I sent you a drawing on how to use a half round file on parts like this.
You glue part 196 in place, then you start with the flat part of the file from one frame to the next one in front , when you get to the concave part turn the file over to the half round part, as you push the file down twist your wrist, so you are using all of the half round part of the file.
You will be taking part of the false keel off, this is what you want ( warning keep an eye on how much you take of the false keel you have two sides to file ).
Then you start again with frame two and three from the stern area till they blend together.
Put a thin plank across the frames to see how it fits across the frames.
Like I said when I get to that stage I will send you an email.
Denis.
