How satisfying! -
Nice hack, Allan!
-
Looks very nice, Alan. Make sure that the clamp heights are spot-on to prevent future frustration!
-
Excellent result, Chris. It kind of begs for a setting.... Your Coyle's Law and Corollary are spot-on - unfortunately!

Your arrangement of the bobstays is more convincing than the one on Victory where the third one attaches close to the waterline (second photo, post #1959). One, it would be exposed to the water too much and two, when at anchor the cable could rub and abrade it.

Nice progress!
-
That looks much more like it! Good save, Allan.
-
That is what I would expect to see, Kris. Thanks for posting the comparison. 2 degrees is a figure that sticks in my mind.

Are the brackets (in the plan view) angled in a little too severely? On carriages I've seen, the taper is about the same as that of the cannon barrel. Or am I wrong?

Congratulations indeed on completing such an intricate model. -
Beautifully done, as usual. Small escapement or needle files are essential for block work.

Blomefeld pattern guns are more trouble to cast, which is why I suspect you don't see them commercially. Now, 3D printing is another story!

Most spring clamps are far too powerful for model work. I find finger and thumb or elastic bands better alternatives. Even using white glue, one only need hold parts for a minute or two/

Sharp paint scheme, even if you are giving yourself more work!

Whew! You made an excellent job of the tafferel edge/rail. Would the top have been black and the edges gold?

Chainplate & Deadeye Assembly Question
druxey replied to cardensb's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Soften the metal (anneal it) by heating to red-heat and let it air cool. -
An exquisite model! Congratulations. It's too bad that the details of the lower nested boat are no longer visible. At least there are the photographs to show that you did not skimp.

Apart from your carving skills I like your safe method of squaring a log. Once seen, it is so obvious!

The metal S-strap - the fore axletree stay - appears on several carriage drawings, so must have been standard at the time. Also see TFFM, Volume II, page141.

Very entertaining, Haiiaphnk! Presumably a crowned lion figure?
-
Welcome back, indeed!
-
Can't wait to see the cranks turned and water discharged! Well done.
