I ran into the same question researching for HMCSS Victoria (1855) which was pierced for a pivot gun for and aft. There are several options including that which Mark points out (hinged, drop down sections of bukwark), but also some ships appear to have had lift out sections - either way, as Mark points out the hammock rails (in your case) would need to be struck. The first image below shows a 68pdr gun in action ib HMS Sidon off Balaclava in Crimea (1855) which while not definitive, suggests a lift out panel. The second image shows HMS Immortalite (1860) with what appears to be lift out panels in the port fore section of the bulwarks (just behind the cascable of the gun). The third image is a section of the plan for HMS Vigilant (1856). While these drawings and lithographs support what appears to be lift out panels, there is a picture of Uss Constitution which was kindly posted by a MSW member whom I regret to say I have misplaced the information for (apologies to the provider), that shows the hinged arrangements which may have been more specific to US practice of the day? That said, I have a piccy, again I cannot remember the source, that shows a US ship with a lift out panel. it could also be argued that the braces shown in the first US piccy (Constitution) that they were simply support braces nd that they and the panel lifted out rather than being hinged? I hope this provides some useful info for you to determine your fit? With Victoria (last picture) I went with lift out panels. cheers Pat

Hanging lifebelts
BANYAN replied to RPaul's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Pavel, they would of been on a hook of some sort; lashing them in any form would defeat the purpose of being able to quickly deploy them. cheers Pat -
Very nice work with the hull Greg, that plating effect showing the 'ribs' looka great. cheers Pat

Hi all, I have been following from up in the nose-bleeds seats If I was to pop down for some 'mother's milk' I don't think I could get back to my seat again - any room down in the 'posh' seats? For OC - you have the wrong perceptive view mate :-This is how we see it Very nice builds BTW. cheers Pat

Hi Danny, my first post in your build log but I do check in regularly. What you are achieving here in card is extraordinary - very nice work indeed. cheers Pat

variable height desks
BANYAN replied to bigcreekdad's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have a fully height adjustable desk I use as a model making table - not one of those adjustable computer things that sit on top of a desk. I have found it invaluable when working on different parts of the ship as I can adjust the height for better access and closeness of the work; especially for rigging. One word of caution - make sure you have a little room at the back (and/or sides) as when you adjust it up it may snag on anything on the wall etc (learned the hard way ) . Oh, and if you have an overhead hanging light .... If you can walk right around it (if you have the space) it is an even greater asset. One member even built a purpose designed (self-designed) height adjustable desk with a top that also tilted - can't remember the build log though. cheers Pat -

Now that I have picked my jaw back up from the floor - simply MAGNIFICENT Karl. Those carvings really compliment your work on the planking and framing. A truly stunning mode. cheers Pat -

Another small update folks. Work on the anchors progresses with 1 complete, 1 nearly complete (just the tripping shackles to add) and a smaller stream anchor of the same Pattern in progress. I am still not sure if I will add small chain retainers to the forelocks (pins) in the stock as i would have thought these would be easily 'ripped' off when dragging the bottom etc, and, would get in the way when working the anchor under the cat or fish davit? Open to suggestions. If you look very closely at the photos you can see the forelock pin in-situ in the shank and an even smaller one in the bow shackle. The two completed anchors use purchased shackles, however the one in progress is made by me using EdT's technique for making them. The graphic which is of a NMM model is the style (pattern) of anchor I am emulating but, as I have some contemporary info that the early stocks were straight bar stocks, that is what I have done I am happy that I was able to make all the parts move including the shackles which move independently of each other. The other parts in the 'collective' photo are the "Spencer" anchor slipping mechanism - the stbd side has already been rigged. I have also been progressing some other metal details. The Contract states there was copper capping to be fitted on the cap rails (roughtree rails) in the bow and in the vicinity of where the anchors are worked. I have completed the bow section using some 0.010" copper. I have yet to do the anchor areas as i am still determining exactly how much of the rails to cap :). I have also made a start on siting the pins and 'races' for the pivot gun. The central pin has been dry fitted in the following photo. The races are 2mm high and the outer one 56mm in diameter to give an impression as the aspect of the photo is deceiving to the eye. As always, feedback, suggestions and constructive criticism is most welcomed. cheers Pat- 993 replies

Thanks Mark, it was but it is still not finished - I have yet to add some large throat but narrow gauge shackles to the shank (one each side which were used to assist tripping the anchors for recovery). I am about two-thirds complete on the second one; only one more smaller version of that pattern to go after this one. The smaller kedge anchor will be the fourth and final anchor; I think this was a standard Admiralty pattern. cheers Pat- 993 replies

Some good progress there Dave. The use of diminishing sized rope as you go up will certainly help the 'admirer' when looking at her as she will be more true-to-life. cheers Pat

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
