Fantastic detail and superb metal work. How do you form those gudgeons to have such clean and sharp angles? Do you file them from a solid piece? cheers Pat

Hi Mike, as per Jud and I tend to rig mine off the model first using the vertical (adjustable) part of my rigging station shown below. i adjust this to the right distance apart (just longer than needed), clip the hooks into the alligator clamps (with both block facing the same way - end on or side on) and rig it here before transferring to the ship. If two single blocks, start with the rigging line attached to the heel of the upper block, run to bottom block threading from front to back, up to the top block threading back to front then down to the bottom block. Cut the running end allowing enough to form several loops or coils after belaying. Use a micro clip (see other photo - available from electronics stores) to temp hold the running end to the other parts of the tackle lines. The trick is to ensure you do not twist this setup during transfer This station (rigging crab) is based on one designed by the late Hubert Sicard (Wooden Ship Modelling for Dummies). I hope that helps?

Great techniques Ed. You have accomplished quite some detail with the parcelling and serving at such a scale - the result is excellent. cheers Pat- 3,607 replies

Steven, try electronics stores for the isopropanol here; the techies use it with their electronics projects apparently. i got some from there in a spray can as well as solution. cheers Pat

Very nice work on the hull Danny, looks like you have mastered this build medium. cheers Pat

Great work Alexandru; your metalsmithing in particular is very good. An interesting and unusual subject to model. cheers Pat

Welcome back Dashi, glad to see you were able to make some progress - nice work BTW. I can empathise as I had a neck operation for similar nerve issues a couple of years back - wishing you well. cheers Pat

Who's been a busy boy then Looks great Greg. Here you are nearly two done, already bought the third and I have hardly dented the build of the Victoria - but I have been a little distracted with making furniture for the latest addition to the family - a lovely granddaughter cheers Pat

Very accurate fitting of the cap and mast tenons Ed; it shows the care and attention you place on making each part. I still haven't gained the confidence to do that peening as you show; my efforts would have destroyed the fitting. Very nice work! cheers Pat

Recommendations For A Good Milling Machine
BANYAN replied to Thistle17's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Hi Jaager, among other tasks I have used one to: 1. as an upside down router for rounding/shaping edges and creating grooves in decorative pieces, 2. creating the blanks for gun carriages (individual slices taken off with saw to create carriage sides) 3. making parts (whelps etc) for capstans. 4. making/shaping the waterways. 5. milling small wood parts. There are many uses once you can think through the set ups; I suppose you could say only limited by your imagination and ability. cheers Pat -
Great to see you contemplating a return to the building desk OC; hopefully you will be able to complete her soon. Looking forward to your updates. cheers Pat
