Mirabell61 got a reaction from avsjerome2003 in HMS Pegasus 1776 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:64 - 16-gun sloop
the first of the four gunport doors is attached, functional with hinges
I let the Pivot rod go through both hinges, this gives more stability to the function, although I was intending to cutawy the rod in the middle space
here open...
In one of Danny`s last Posts (Vulture 1:48) he mentioned the scuppers for the Manager pit. I had not been Aware that there had to be some although it`s quite Logical to catch the dirt and mud on the anchor cable behind the hawse hole, and for rinsing reasons.
I set the brass tube scuppers in about 5 degree declining downward from Managing pit (deck) to the upper Portion of the wale, above that Little decor

More old pictures, without explanations i guess it is hard to follow what is happening, any questions, just ask.

First step in aligning the mast fish with the deck and the mast.

Even more deck. This final section was very time consuming.

This is how it looks on the historical museum vs original in norway, notice the shape of the "wings", positive on the model but negative on the original.

Mirabell61 reacted to JesseLee in Scottish Maid by JesseLee - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1:50
Most of the deck housing has been pre-built ahead of time so it would be ready at this time.
Working on the anchors. Changed line on windlass to a heavier one. Don't think the one with the kit was heavy enough for an anchor. After studying other builds & researching online I decided to do some extra stuff not in my directions with the anchor assembly. Puddened the anchor rings, seized the blocks to the rings & tied a clinch knot in the heavier line for the anchor cable.

Have to do the first two and the last two gunport doors, will try to get the hinges functional working...., here first try (the 1 mm round bar shall be cut to fit later on)
the small parts from the etched sheet are soldered to the 1 x 2 mm Tube, then cut off...
here also the Counter hinge part that goes to the hull above the gunport, the small Pivot rod is 1 mm
will AC glue the Long hinge parts to the gunport door (have to do the doors first and fit them in...)

Build log part 32
Today I started a Little bit on the anchor System, fitted two rollers under the forecastle deck, to return the Messenger cable without much friction (will Show later on when the cables get rigged)
I am planing for the anchor cables to go right down through the gundeck main hatch, and to the cargo floor, to be coiled and tied on top of the cargo Barrels. There is not much hight left but I think it will do for several rounds of coiled (tied) cable
this is the smaller anchor behind the main one,
in the foreground the larger anchor (6 raps around the stick)
the gundeck capstan with 2 stopper clinks, (simple Version)
the foreward riding bitts
Build log part 33 to follow....

Thanks each and every one of you .
Yes it's a bit of a chore Banyan.. I.need those spiders.:-)
I've been catching up on some other pastimes with some lovely winter sunshine.. Climbed some mountains, kayak down a stunning river. Beach and creeks..
John, thanks mate, I made up the spacing jig like you suggested because that really made a lot of sense to me... All my pictures show row boat as I have done. Interesting..
Alistair I can't decide either.. Think that the timber side just wins.. :-)
Leanne, I really hope you get her back in action! I should be able to help with some issues if they arise with the building... Looking forward to it..
So I have procrastinated a lot with my canons rigging. The dinghy was a escape I think.. Okay whipped myself into action today and not far off having them done... Just have to decide how to tie them off and if I will do coiled ropes..
Much thanks. Oliver

Ok canons are on the way.. Thinking it's much better. Big learning curve these finer points. It all just fits in there.. Couldn't have had tackle points any closer..
I read that it's much easier to add rope coils separate and just lay it over the existing rope, if that makes sense.. Regards ollie
