Australian Heritage (Victoria/Tas) question.
BANYAN replied to Rick01's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Rick, the Enterprise replica is Melbourne based and could be used for reference - I have a few photos somewhere. More to the point, the replica was constructed to plans drawn up by one of our club's members. If there is sufficient interest, we could ask whom has the copyright to those plans and maybe produce a model. The club is currently researching and building a model of another ship of significant historical interest to Victoria and Tasmania (having transported the roe from Melbourne to Tasmania to start the very successful Salmon industry they now have - the HMCSS Victoria. Perhaps the Enterprise may be of interest to our club for a future build if no one takes it up? Thanks for raising this. cheers Pat -
That'll make a nice model Iain; a great subject. The Wattle is currently on the hard undergoing some 'refurbishment' but should be back in the water in the not too distant future. See http://www.sorrentosteam.com.au/story.htm for some further info on her. cheers Pat

These are miniature masterpieces mate; a truely outstanding addition of detail to your wonderful diorama. cheers Pat

Hi Mercator, Attached is a shot of the cog (about 400m) as promised. I will place some shots of the actual cog in the Museum Ships area when I have processed them in the next week or so but they will not help you much with the rigging. As I said, this is a long distance shot taken with a tele-zoom at 70mm so the detail is not great. If you zoom the pic it provides some detail on how this ship is rigged.. I hope it helps cheers Pat

Look forward to the update Rusty, but have a great vacation in the interim - I am just back from a two week flit around Germany. cheers Pat
-
Coming along very nicely Ron; you'll have her fully rigged before you know it cheers Pat

Hi Mercator, I have just returned (today) from a holiday in Germany and I visited Bremerhaven during the trip. I managed to get some photos of the Bremen Cog, and a couple of distant shots of the Cog Replica. I can post these when I have sorted the photos if they are of use to you? cheers Pat

Thanks Dan, great work and an interesting update to view while I am away on my travels cheers Pat
-
That's excellent work Wefalck and will add some great detail to your build. cheers Pat

Some nice progress there Mike -
Almost there Piet; not many more things you could add this very nicely detailed model (or is there?) I know you still have the rubber boat to come and I am looking forward to how you solve that question. cheers Pat
-
Very nice work and well worth the reworked bits Mark; she is looking really nicely symmetrical even without final fairing. cheers Pat
-
Simply STUNNING Alex; I really look foward to your more frequent updates now that you will have more time for modelling. this is a very fine exemplar of a master modeller at his craft! cheers Pat
-
She's coming along beautifully John; that's good progress noting the disruptions. Enjoy your holiday also. cheers Pat
-
She is looking superb Greg. No fear mate, I won't ever catch up with you - how else would I know what to do with my rigging - lead on with your fine artistry good sir! cheers Pat

Hi and thanks to all whom have looked in and offered encouragement; much appreciated. Mike, I have used a combination of scale rope that I have made (standing rigging which is LH laid) and MoRope for the running rigging (the beige coloured stuff). Chuck did not have his rope available at the time I purchased the MoRope, otherwise I would have used that, until I get to grips with making 'consistently' good RH laid on my Byrnes ropewalk. The standing rigging varies between 1.2mm to 0.5mm for the standing rigging depending on purpose and position (smaller dimensions as I go upwards in the rigging), and between 0.8mm down to 0.25mm for the running rigging. I will probably use 0.15 scale rope for the rattlin. I use Gutterman cotton (appropriate colour) for my seizings. With this model scaled at 1:60, I think these sizes are generally right. I used the excellent spreadsheet produced by Danny and Jim Lad to calculate the rigging sizes but I have 'generalised' some rigging so that I did not have to have a lot of different sizes. Basically, I have rounded to the 'nearest' size in my inventory of scale rope available, but ensuring sizes change in accordance with purpose etc as stated earlier. I hope that answers all your questions Mike? It may be a few days between looking in for the next couple of weeks so bear with me please if I do not respond overnight cheers Pat

Thanks guys, I'll certainly enjoy the break. cheers Pat

Hi folks, I am about to head off on some holidays so I thought I had better post an update of my latest additions to my Endeavour. the rigging is proving to be a challenge in determining what goes where as this is my first rigged model. cheers Pat

I know that feeling (frustratio0n only too well also mate - keep plugging away and you will get there (it has only taken me 8 years so far ) cheers Pat
-
Nice clean work on those masts Danny. cheers Pat
-
Hey Chuck, that's why you need to get a set of 'ship's curves' - slightly different lines cheers Pat
-
You have a real talent for 'smithing' Danny; must be something in your genetics? cheers Pat
-
Nice to see another update Russ; she is progressing slowly (like my Endeavour) but with a lot of "class" cheers Pat
