jct got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Hannah by jct - FINISHED - somewhere between 1/72 ish and 1/60 ish scale
today's update...
mounted the swivel guns
the bits of tape you see in the photos are holding the outside edge of each respective chain plate in position so they don]t get mixed up until I can get them mounted...probably next week
I decided to mount the main guns...I originally rigged them with blocks but the smallest I had was 2 mm which looked way out of scale, so I stripped then off and just went with the run out tackle and holding lines, may add a few dark spots to simulate blocks...not sure yet
rope coils for gun tackle
rigged guns. you can start to see some of the light weathering I'm applying as I go in the second shot
overall shot of all the deck furniture to this point

THX for the likes...
worked on the swivel guns
started with some rolled paper...added some pva to hold the tube together and added bent wire to represent the stock
tied on some light line to represent the strengthening rings and added them to the prepared stanchions
and added paint
stanchions need painted...not yet sure what color though

Still working on the little things

THX for the likes...still fiddling with lil bits...made the ships bell, chucked a piece of styrene sprue in the drill and shaped with files
drill and attached to a pin, ready for the belfry, course it needs painted but that will have to wait...got none of my enamels with me, roughing it

Hi all, continued working on the little stuff...worked up the gun carriages... cut and glued up small bits for the sides, base and axles...
( lousy focus...phone cam)
and painted them all
while I was laying out all the fore deck accessories I discovered a major fubar....I drilled the foremast mounting hole to far aft...it should be where the yellow circle is. If left where it is the windlass placement will interfere with the gun carriages...guess I should have triple checked.
Plan is to fill the hole with a dowel, the windlass will cover it so hopefully it wont be to noticeable...shezz

Gonna try to chip away at the Hanna while I'm hanging out in the RV...not sue how the pics will turn out as I'm using my phone with just lighting from the dining table but we'll give it a try...
I got the base color scheme laid down...three coats on all but the black....only two needed there
still a little touch up required here and there...started working on the rudder...groves were filed for the pintles and color applied...the pintles themselves are just more of the painted strips with small bits of dowel added
Well that's all for today...may add more tomorrow, gonna depend n the weather

Hi folks...today's update
Decided to work on the belfry, here's a shot of the plan view I was trying to replicate, the curved top being the challenge
Started by tracing the curve from the plans to a piece of scrap basswood and giving it a ride through the bandsaw...
which left me with couple bending forms, to clamp around soaked basswood
left it overnight to dry
here's the original piece...unfortunately the bend did not hold and within a few hours was almost flat, so I repeated the process but this time laminated the basswood strip with walnut veneer, this was successful...you can see the completed pieces below
the uprights had notches filed in them to accept the cross beam...
here's the glue up
and the finished piece...
the paint is still wet...thus the shine...still have to figure how I want to do the bell, may just turn a chunk of styrene, got plenty laying around
thx to all for the likes

THX to all participants...a little more to add
Today I was working on the "iron" banding, for this I broke out a specialized tool not used for shipbuilding so much but priceless for glass work, they are pattern cutting shears...three bladed scissors that remove a fixed width of material in the center. For glass this leaves space in your patterns for the came between the pieces. I use them here to cut card stock to a perfectly uniform width
here you see some painted black
and applied to the windlass to simulate the iron banding
and here as hinges
Applied poly to the finished deck furniture...still have to build the belfry, pumps, and the Charlie Noble, among other odds and ends

A bit more to add...thanks to all who've commented or hit the like button...much appreciated
The comings were painted the red ochre mix but the grates left natural, a sure test of my cut-in skills ...the grates were stained with a natural stain...poly will follow latersorry for the lousy focus
the deck houses and binnacle were painted as well
along with the windlass cheeks
two coats of tallow were applied the the hull bottom...
the rest of the hull paint will be added over the course of the week...I want this stuff to have plenty of time to cure out...this is infamous model shipways paint but thinned with iso and distilled water (50,25,25 ratio), seems to make a difference in how it lays down

Finished the binnacle
Started with a framework of basswood
and added trim made from 1/16 wide strips of walnut veneer
needs a little more sanding before paint

Spent more time on the deck gratings...sanded them and attached the comings
just laying out the deck at this point
ditto
Still have the deck houses to build as well as the binnacle, belfry, and the cheeks for the windlass

Black it is, but they will be slightly abused😁

Kind of like me?
No, in reality I think by their very nature and purpose in life "abused" would be a bit of an understatement. I don't think I would want a one or two ton anchor bumping up against me even once!

I think they are also painted black sometimes like the wales often are.

An update of sorts...I'll be away from the table for a week or so, home for fathers day an our anniversary.
It wasn't till I posted the pic below in the last update that I noticed the sacrificial anchor rub boards (not sure of the exact nomenclature) were facing the wrong direction...the sweep should face fore not aft...so they have been removed and will be reinstalled going the right direction. I may take the opportunity to weather them a bit prior to the reinstall too.
That's it for now...

Sorry you had to go through a re-do. I hate when that happens!
Those parts are called billboards - where the "bill" of the anchor rests when the anchor is lashed to the side.

rope coils for gun tackle
