Further fitting out by the shipyard.... I think I should wait with mounting part permanently around the closer mast areas until the rigging beging done, asume I shall need operating space to mount the blocks an pulleys of the running rigging. I know and remember that well from the tallship builds stairs (ladders), entering platforms, and chain pumps chain pump discharge boxes with drainplugs, chain secured. The box discharge openings are closed with vertical slide panels gallows before the main mast chain pump crank Levers and bearing supports (all in dry fit) the hulls upper siderails in this area still Need finetuning. The step from QD to platform is about one footlength high I did`nt make up my mind yet if there will be a rudder-deckhousing fitted or not. At least the ruddershaft shall be shortend a bit. The tiller will be rigged as the Amati plan shows... Build log part 47 to follow... Nils

Thats a very tidy and nice toolkeeping Dave, everything handy and has its place for a quick grip.. Nils -
thank you Omega, now is the time for fitting out, that is really fun, compared with the time consuming gun rigging. I have the QD permanently glued on now... Nils

Congrats for the lovely result of your fabulous work Pete, be careful not to get water into the Cockpit on the maiden sail out Nils

Thank you David Nils

Pete, Thanks to you as a regular visitor to this log and for your Kind appreciations Nils Michael, there are many Little sequencial to be built parts, so provided there is time to do, its just one or two days for doing These. I guess ist just like you did those many litte small parts for your Pilot cutter one by one Nils

Build log part 46 yesterday I started with the QD ballustrade and its rails and supports, further some of the belaying Pins and Frames for the hammock netting (in height of the Crew`s neck and head ) checking out the height for a horizontal resting of the spare mast-parts, so that the crew has enough space underneath The focsile deck gallowbeam (rest surface for spare mast parts) is only 4mm from deck allowing a horizontal lay-on, this causing the mid deck gallow Support to be 36,5 mm from deck with its rest surface Little knobs at the rail ends belaying Pins and hammock net frames protection for head area Nils

Build log part 45 The rigging of the anchor cables slowly but steady Pegasus is coming on guns are now all completely rigged The anchors will be mounted much later, but the cables are placed already Capstan with 4 rounds to the Messenger cable the QD is going to cover the most of it, but view is partialy given from through the outcut in QD I`m going to fit Support rollers (bracket with Horizontal and vertical rollers) for the Messenger, just behind those pillars to avoid rubbing to the wood port anchor cable is tied and secured to the bit, whilst the starbord cable is temporary tied to the Messenger, as a waist-decklength is hauled in, then the tie is shifted to the front again for the next haul All the ropes are indicating a busy deck...., I wonder already how that may look after the rigging later on... Nils

very nice looking cutter Michael, I asume rigged mast and topsail shall nearly be scratching the room cealing. Looking curiously foreward to the rigged painted model and further pics... Nils
-
Thanks very much for that link B.E. That is exactly what I meant..., shall look further into it or to simular Equipment Nils
-
Good decision and kit choise Mike, shall watch out for your start date.... Nils

Thank you very much Bob, I think I`ll have to watch out if there is available somewhere a Little camera lens attached to a flexible Slim Support that can be used in combination with a digitible camera for making shots (like the medical applications). But that would probably be rather expensive Nils

Thank you very much Rich, I`m happy if this Version is being enjoyed... Nils

Thanks to all visitors to this log, for dropping in and the "likes"... and for the nice comments... Pete, thanks for your Kind words B.E., thanks for the appreciative words. The thought was to simply leave away the portside interior Fitting out (cabins, rooms lockers. etc. That would enable sight into the ship as far as the side cutaways allow. I still ca`nt beleave that the Crew was counting up to 125 men. David, thank you, a brandy usualy goes with a good cigar, but I do`nt smoke any more since I was 25, so the thought dd`nt even rise, but its worth a try with a good glass..., after achieving a result to ones own satisfactory Martin, many Details were not planed from beginning on but just implemented as the thoughts came. That is the benefit of scratch..., no limitizing margins Nils

Hi Mark, I also call up the the same sort of crafter web-Shops, and often find small items (actualy a sort of bead or a bead link) that with a slight Change here and there, work out as something I was looking out for or wanting to build. As far as the tweezers are concerned I use Long and short ones, but for gripping and grabbing purposes I have most pleasure in using thoe arterial clamps with tooth shutting / opening Feature, for example when Holding These mini blocks for Drilling the sheave holes a Little larger.
