not much progress today started on drilling the holes for the ventilation openings but after 21 my hand was sore so i called it a night
-
first of all most models in the hobbystore closest to me is AL so that choice was made for me so far i have bought 4 AL models (3 ships 1 stagecoach). the virginia apart of some missing parts was a good kit for me to start. the rigging instructions though where lacking the stage coach instructions are pretty good and all wood and parts are ok except for the 30mm wide mahavgony veneerstrips which break by only looking at them the mississippi and the endeavour have many errors in instructions and accuracy but i dont think the wood is of a bad quality overall i cant say i regret buying them
-
wel done Jarero . a beautiful model
-
thanks for looking in John and Carl yeah i feel good about it and glad that part is done because it was a bit of a strugle
-
thanks for the confidence Sjors but i know where i am at and compared to most here i stil have a lot to learn i do feel good about finishing the wiring for the lower 2 decks testing showed that all 4 circuits are working now i need to add some sides and a top to cover up the wiring the top wil be painted black this should make it mostly invisible if looked at through the ventilation windows at the top i can now concentrate on the build again and maybe assmeble the main stairs
-
lol Sjors you know not a bad idea for a future scratchbuild and make it into a rc model . but beyond my capabilities at the moment

HMS Pandora 1779 in 3D
Adrieke replied to ppddry's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
that is impressive i find it cool that you can build and show the interior and even a make a video virtual walkthrough of her . -
thanks John you know i actualy considered putting in a motor to power the paddle wheel
-
bit more soldering done had hoped to finish that part today but had to do some after hours maintenace work on my works email servers, luckily i can do it from home so while i monitor the progress i can be on here hopefuly tomorrow i l be able to finish and then ad dome sides and a cover to all the wiring and give it a bit of paint (white below / black on top) so that it all blends in i also think i have figured out how to connect the 3rd deck and steering house as this whole assembly wil be removable to get to the inside wiring i am thinking of using some thick copper wire i have from another kit that once the assembly is put in place connects up with the lower deck wiring
-

-
lol John dont think so. i was about to forget about it all when i accidently touched the hot part of the soldering iron .
-
added all the wiring now and put some wooden strips in to easily hoild it al together one of the legs of a light broke and when i replaced i soldered it in the wrong way . hope i didnt mess up all the lights of that circuit just abit more sodlering and add the breadboard with resistors to the assembly and its done will get pictures later today

-

no worries Wim its a big part of the fun figuring out new things to make it look better
-
going well John make sure you mark which is the front of the stateroom as you can put it in the wrong way
-
hi Wim very n ice progress what i found is the best way to hide gaps is by instead of making the meeting ends staight put them angled so they cover eachother a bit that way you can clamp them better and afterwards a bit of sanding wil make it almost invisible
-
thanks again WIm. saved the link in my favourites exciting moments as i am testing the lights for the first deck (yay still working ) i am also creating all the bits that will hold the 2nd deck lighting
-
thanks Pat i have seen people mentioning it before but good that you remind me again to make sure i dont forget to do that
-
thanks dave and Wim thanks for the picture Wim. had been wondering on how the layout would have been inside
-
i used some 1 mm copper wire to easily assemble the ventilation openings on top of the 2nd deck stateroom
-
thanks Wim stage 1 rough sanding done
-
i will use my rotary tool with sanding drum to get it to the rough shape then will use files and manualy sanding
