Great progress and looking good Rob; up to your usual very high standards. Kudos for working around the rigging, you really like a challenge don't you cheers Pat -
Ditto Steven - how did I miss this. A very interesting subject to model, and very well executed. cheers Pat
-
Some interesting conundrums you are dealing with here Rob, I follow with interest. cheers Pat

Perhaps also worth considering this design for 'rocking' the vessel of sandbars or the mud in ports? (Many ships in shallow ports sat on the mud when the tide went out.) By shifting weight/cargo fore or aft would perhaps raise the keel sufficiently to get her off? But, I think this would have been an addition or complimentary outcome, rather than a design feature? cheers Pat

That's a ripper find Keith. Thanks for sharing these photos which proved a great insight as to how these lamps were made and assembled. cheers Pat

This is one very nice model Eberhard, especially at the scale you are working. Kudos! cheers Pat

A very different subject for your next effort Greg; did all that rust attract you I have seen some info that suggested both guns may be removed to make-way for the installation of four 87-inch missile launcher modules, carrying up to 12 missiles. Which version are you building? cheers Pat

Interesting videos and info; thanks Isaiah. cheers Pat

It may be slow (but not as slow as my build ) but it is worth waiting for Vlad. Looks great! cheers Pat

You have certainly mastered the art of planking Chuck; such clean, crisp joints and edges - a delight to see. cheers Pat

Can't wait to see the planking going on this beauty; nice work Ian. cheers Pat

Hi Rick, I am sorry that I have not looked into your build before this - my loss as you are producing a very nice model. I have had a quick look through but will go back and read-in more carefully. Quite the task you have set yourself for a first model. That said, you appear to be well and truly up to the challenge. If you had not mentioned your issues with hull symmetry I would have never known, it looks fine in most photographs. I too like your shackles, they are very effective especially at scale 1/96. The deck furniture is coming along very well and looks great. For someone who claims they are not very good at joinery, you seem to be doing a very creditable job of it. You asked about sealing your deck? Once I have completed my deck planking, I mask/tape off the known deck furniture areas (outer boundary to allow glue to take) and give it as coat of Testors 'Dull Cote' which is a flat/matt varnish. I find this helps to protect the deck planking (especially as they are much lighter coloured planks), and should I accidently mark the planks doing other work, I can simply give it a light scrape to remove the marking and recoat the area. I use small scrapers made from old scalpel or similar blades for this. Being matt finish small touch-pups do not show. I am very much looking forward to your further updates. cheers Pat

Archaeological Evidence for the Development of RN Gunnery

Thanks Steve, much appreciated. cheers Pat -
A wonderfully turned-out sectional model Dave; congratulations on her completion - it looks great! cheers Pat
-
Potentially so Druxey, ....or, perhaps both this, or to hook on a tackle as a means to assist training the heavier guns? Sorry, just playing the 'devil's advocate'. cheers Pat

Looking forward to this Rob. cheers Pat

Hi Allan, I cannot recall where I came across the attached - note, it is annotated on the side as being an extract from an 'Ordnance Manual' (possibly USN sourced?). While the carriage furniture arrangement is different, the number and purpose of the bolts etc appears similar. Note that item18, while in a different location is listed as an eye for the 'training tackle'. A separate bolt (5) is placed forward of this atop the carriage bracket for the gun tackle, item 6 for the train tackle, and item 11 for the breech rope. Not sure if this helps to resolve the issue but does harken back to my earlier thoughts of the second eye being for a training tackle? cheers Pat

I'm late to the party yet again Keith, but this build is intriguing - I'll holler from the nose bleeds if I have any questions Are you shooting for that 'Rolls Royce' type paint finish? cheers Pat
-
Party time indeed, and well deserved. your persistence in overcoming the many issues that arose has really paid dividends - the model looks great! cheers Pat
