Continuation: Main topsail yard - studding sail boom iron - Cercle de bout-dehors de vergue
I continued with the studding sail boom irons for the main topsail yard. Since I had thoughtlessly started to make the rings, I forgot to make the bulge for the rollers. Since these rings were already soldered, I tried to solder on this bulge, which then also worked quite well and the even result became more precise.
As they say: the proof of the pudding is in the eating ...😁
 
The following picture shows the rings with the parts to be soldered on.

Here on this picture you can see my " soldering station ".


On the ceramic hole plate you can fix the parts to be soldered quite well.


The jeweler's saw is then used to remove the segments of the rings that are not necessary.


The next picture shows the drilling of the roller bearings with a 0.5 mm drill.


In the picture, all studding sail boom iron for the main topsail yard are united before blacking. The inside diameters of the spar hangers for the fore topsail yard are 2.7 mm, while those for the main topsail yard are 3.2 mm.


For blackening, I still use Brass Black, as I have had very good experiences with this agent. I coat the parts with a brush until they get the desired coloration. This proven method of working allows me to use the agent very sparingly.


The last two pictures show the studding sail boom irons already mounted to the main topsail yard.


Next, I make the irons for the fore yard. At the same time, I'm researching other equipment for the yards, such as attachment of the footropes, jackstays - yes or no, and so on.
See you soon ...
 

Hello,
so, it is done! The head is ready. 😃
The painter has to fix some things, because the man from the admiralty would come and inspect the work. He was very pleased and spend a beer for the crew 😮 Yes one beer 😕
For the next days the crew had some days free and after that, they have to cut the deck beams for the fore castle.

I completed the bumpkins which were the last of the parts which needed to be made.  I decided not to drill the hole through the hull moulding and frieze. It felt that it was a little to risky at his stage of the build. Of course I never thought of it, but if it were possible I would have done so earlier in the build. Instead I simulated as best I could the look of doing so.
 
Its been nearly five years since I switched from the 3/16" to the 1/4" scale version in April of 2018. With the ship now finished, I just want to say thank you for sharing this journey with me. Every kind word, comment and "Like" inspired me to do my best and keep moving ahead.
 
I would be remiss if I didn't give a special thank you to Chuck for being a huge help to me from the very start as well as putting up with all of my nuttiness. Thank you, Chuck!




 

See ya soon, Mike

Lengthy work on the cannon carriages:

work continues on gan barrels:

Update:

I finished the work on the guns, burnishing and protective matt clear coat:
 




 
 

I have started making guns:

Little metal works for the upper deck. I built myself a jeeg for rings with shanks of various sizes:







 

The main bitts:

a few steps forward:






 

After a long time, I have finally reached the end of building the galley stove:









 

a few small steps forward:





 

some small advances. This galley stove is keeping me very busy!
 

I redid the kitchen hood. I didn't like it.
everything is still temporary

continue.....

Continue with the galley stove construction:










 

The gratings:

 

 
I have taken a little liberty in interpreting the fore hatch gratings as far as the passage of the elbows is concerned. I was inspired by the work done by Matiz on his Euryalus, although perhaps the eras are slightly different.





 

some photos with a view from the lowerdeck:





 

I wanted to try something that is rarely seen on a model: hammocks:





 

Forecastle deck hanging knees:
 





 
 

internal planks and nailing:



 
scuppers:
