Build log part 51 was thinking of how to do the Stern lantern..., (not shown on the Amati plan) I like the building kit set Chuck is offering, but I rather prefer one in brass. Exploring Ebay I found a nostalgic nice litte lantern for street illumination in scale 1:87 (H0, and the description said its the brass casting Version, that was exactly what I was looking for, and it was with clear glass instead of milkglass. When I opened the parcel, Oh dear, I was Holding a plastic Version with a reinforced brass tube lamppost Questioning this with the seller I learned that only the lamppost was to be in brass. So I sprayed the lamphousing in Brass Color, made a new bracket, arranged for a candle inside, and let my opinion of the view settle a bit... this is make Viessmann lantern No. 6071, the railroad Freaks shall know.... The lamp housing with 17,5 mm hight ist just right to use for scale 1:64 the lantern Comes in black Color, top cover and glass insert can be removed. Here a new bracket is made together with a candle with dropping wax. spray coating without the glass and assembled at the stern the bracket still requires some paint touchup Nils

very good looking Model Jason, also the rigging, well done Nils

thank you very much Martin, I learnt from this Forum first time that the hammocks were used as splitter and muskeetball catcher when the ship was in close range battle and it makes sense. Probably there were quite some round holes in the one or other ones hammocks, perhaps even balls still trapped in the canvas when unfolding... Nils

Thanks for clearing Alistair, the Kind tip for how to rig the anchor cables came from B.E. with ref. also to Dafi`s very nice HMS Victory anchor cable Arrangement. Before that I never was aware of the function of that Messenger cable... It reminded me a Little bit of the "Paternoster lift cabins in manifold Story high old Office houses, where you step in go to the required Elevation an step off again... Nils

Many thanks.... B.E., I first thought of broken White Color, but my wife convinced me that the now Chosen Color is more authentic Kester, thanks for that Input...., I was sure that there must have been a very knowledgeable Person supporting the film Fitting Outs..., Goodwin did a very good Job in that Alistair, I do`nt quite understand what you mean with "...anchor ropes taken back to the capstan..", as far as I learned the only rope around the capstan is the Messenger cable or ?

Many thanks Bob (cap`n`Bob), Michael (Meddo), Pete (48), I saw a Film on TV a couple of days ago, "Master and Commander" and the vessel "HMS Surprise" sraring Craig Russel, was very interesting to see these details, the rather low deckbeams, also the chain pumps in action, hammock nettings, guns in action, two to three men at the pumps crank Lever, etc, the film makers must have had good consultants for 18th century naval ship equipment....

Build log part 50 doing the folded and tied hammocks for the netting, after blackening the brass mesh and fastening it onto the hammock cranes Here starboard side, port side and QD ballustrade still to be done in the same way I did several Trials first until this version was given the go... use ordenary parcel wrapping paper with a light structure in the paper in length direction (resembles the rather much worn / greasy Color of the mens canvas bedding. All rolled up over a 2mm drill the dark lines resemble the tie bounds of the hammock 1 mm drill used at the inner side for folding Support (two equal long parts) mini laundry clampers hold the folded part the folded "hammock" is supported with a drop of PA glue (till dry), so there will be no extra spreadwise stress on the netting view from outside view towards the bulwark Nils

Micheal, I asume you will be Radio Controlling the cutter, what equipment will go inside the hull if so ? Number of servo Units, one for rudder one for winch (common sail sheet), or more sofisticated ? Nils

Thank you very much Pete, I`m thinking of a way to get those hammocks tied, folded and put into the foreseen cranes between the nettings, will have to do some trials first... Nils

Hi Mike, you may want to look into scale 1:87 (common H0 model Train scale), search for sailors or ships Crew. I have not found figures in 1:87 for historic 18th century on the web yet. Nils
