Very nice work/progress Ian. Add ne to option 1 also for the rail - looks more natural. cheers Pat -
I learned that the hard way also Dave. I use Birchwood Casey blackening which works on most soft metals and solders (tin and silver base). It is also easy to touch up on the model if you do happen to damage the finish by using an cotton bud to dab the solution and cleaning off with water. The main items likely to be surface damaged are the nails (bolts) where sometimes a little force is required to drive them fully - but properly sized drilled holes should minimise even this. cheers Pat

Ben, have you checked the "Titan" movies, one of them, clash of the titans I think, incudes a scene of this crossing which may help with ideas. cheers Pat

Hi all. I was remiss in not advising that the barrels I used were some of the excellent products offered by Chuck through Syren. makes a big difference to the level of detail. cheers Pat

Robin, Druxey, I received the following response (partial text) which I copy below with permission of, and prepared by the Maritime Museum of Tasmania. It seems that further research has ruled out the "Hope" and identified the vessel as a locally built vessel, the "Petrel", which is more contemporary with your suggested period Robin. I hope this helps satisfy some of your curiosity I will ontinue to pursue the "Hope" as this snippet of info has intrigued me now (not the 'silver' as I am not a salvager) but rather what sort of ship she was. cheers Pat

Nice start to your build mate; coming along nicely. Sorry I missed your log as i like to follow all Endeavour logs. I'll follow along for a bit . cheers Pat

Hi all, a small update to the swivel guns. This shows some of the completed items along with the kit part and some left over parts (errors/badly made) bits left over, but give an idea of the process I followed. Dan, the beauty of resistance soldering is that you have much more control of the heat and soldering the pins on later was not a problem. cheers Pat

Rick, There is a replica in Tasmania. If you contact them they may be willing to open a discussion and maybe able to shed some light on your questions? cheers Pat

Nah Denis, that model actually looks unsinkable One ship at a time mate; you'll get there; I am sure a delay here or there can be countenanced? cheers Pat

Who'se to say whether right or wrong Steve, these design parameters usually morphed over a period of time rather than as a regulated change - they look good. cheers Pat

Hi folks, Also on this holiday we took a look in at a National Trust House called Runnymede; which was at one time, the home of a very successful Whaling ship captain and owner of a fleet of whaling ships based in Hobart, Tasmania. In there I found a couple of canvas mats/runners which I believe may have been made exactly like the ones in ships. they show Howell made these were with some very intricate patterns and look quite good. posted for interest. cheers Pat

Hi Robin, Here is another pic of this artifact but does not help with any specific information. https://www.expedia.ca/Maritime-Museum-Of-Tasmania-Hobart.d6086805.Vacation-Attraction I'll keep looking around and get back to you if I find something cheers Pat

Very nice and precise work Steve. Did you mill or hand cut the sheave holes? cheers Pat

This may not be the best forum for this photo/info - mods please move if required. While on holiday in Tasmania recently I visited the Tasmanian Maritime Museum in Hobart. While small, it had some interesting artifacts including this section of timber from the bow of an unknown vessel believed to be mid-1800s (possibly the Hope). It shows some good exampls of the copper/brass fixings. It is a slightly fuzzy photo as I had to shoot hand held without flash under some very poor lighting. I hope it is of benefit to some members? cheers Pat

Man you are a sucker for punishment Greg but those funnels will really look good with the PE. cheers Pat

She is looking good Dave; plenty of nice detail. I left the boat boom hardware off the channels as I thought I might catch them and damage them or the channels while rigging; I'll be interested to see how you make out. cheers Pat

I have been on holiday and only just found your wonderful build Druxey; add me to the list of enthusiastic followers. A great subject for a model also. cheers Pat

Great progrees Dave, and glad to see you have very quickly come to grips with resistance soldering - it's the ant's pants once you work out the right power settings for the various types of jobs cheers Pat

Looks great Ron - hope you're back in your new digs soonest with no more major rumbles.

Somevery nice detail emerging Dave; will really add to the model presentation when complete. cheers Pat

Swee-eet work Danny, looking very good. Great to hear you will be back in your 'office' again mate; must have been a real pain with all that moving. Impressed that you have been able to achieve what you have given the circumstances. cheers Pat
