Beautiful work on the bitts and rails... just beautiful.
-
Looks great, Chris. You're almost done.....
-
I agree.. that's a very nice looking wheel, Bob. And no power tools?????
-
Dave, Much has been said on these pages about such manufacturers as AL, Corel and Mamoli and their works of fiction. Perhaps a list could be done but that's up the readership.
-
Beautiful work, Grant. Very clean and precise. I like the way you did the gangways.
-
Floyd, I think the knees are the way to go. You might try wetting down the hull planks at the bow and clamping them to get some bend and thus the pressure off them. Even a bit of heat lightly applied might help. Here's wishing you success on the repair.

SS Vinal Haven by TBlack - FINISHED
mtaylor replied to TBlack's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Druxey is right... and there's pictures to prove it!!!! Good to see you back in the workshop, Tom. I hope all stays well for you. -
Nils, I'd like to suggest that rather then "edit" the first post, just drop to the bottom of the page click in the "Reply to this topic" box. The comments from us will then be interspersed with your steps in building. It will give the buildlog a better flow. Anyway, you've done an excellent job on building this ship so far.

Lovely work on the planking. Excellent!
-
Yep.. real life does get in the way of our hobby.... Been there, still am there. Good to see you back and hope to see some more of you build.
-
Looks like you got the problem solved, Aldo. I'll keep my fingers crossed with you. However, that will make shipbuilding rather difficult.
-
Clare, You found one of the Constellation pics that I found... Those "supports" are iron bars. I never did find out what held those sections up when they were open.. By all means go with what info you have. I'm just musing along on such things.
-
Interesting technique for creating the ice. Looks fantastic.
-
Ah... the lady has teeth.... wonderful work, Danny. I think Janos is right. Isn't there a ring in the deck for pulling the cannon back? Too much breeching and you'll foul the ring. Maybe such that with the cannons in full recoil, there's just enough room for the gun crew to service it even if they have to lean partially out of the port? I thought I read, 2-1/2 times the barrel length...or maybe it's three times the bore length? I'll have to go do some digging as I'll run into that sooner or later.

NIce work on the paint, John. Looking better everytime I visit your build. Yeah, I was down the rough road with a new MH years ago.. After de-bugging problems (electrical and hydraulic) we took it out for a weekend. On the way back, put a Darlington Stripe down the side when I got too close to guard rail. The guys in the shop and I got on a first name basis real fast.

Hamilton, Good for you for being willing to try... here's the page I reference a lot from Olivier Bello's site: http://www.arsenal-modelist.com/index.php?page=accessories In particular: http://www.arsenal-modelist.com/index.php?page=accessories∂=25 The printed decorations also will work. On the smaller vessels, much of the decorations were painted on and not carved.

As long as there are pictures, you'll be ok, Augie. I was looking for something Shakespearean to post like "heavy is the head that wears the crown", but not finding anything. The rigging table is probably a good place to be anyway.

Coming along very nicely, Popeye. I think you've found out that you are master at rigging also.
-
I almost missed it... Happy Birthday, Ray.
-
Piet, The port moldings (or mouldings ) look sharp. Well done.
-
Clare, Pictures I've seen from that era show small sections for the port panels. Probably about 4 to mayby 6 feet. The problem would have been one of man-handling them to the open and the closed positions. I'll do some digging, but a couple of vessels had iron for the panels instead of wood.
-
Beautiful work, Juergen. I'm following closely.....
-
Aldo, Excellent work. And it sounds like an excellent plan you have for building using a mixture of your draughts and MSW draughts. Just curious, were you able to sort out the problem with the stern being off? The 'bump' as I recall?

Adriaan, Hope the Doc finds an answer. Health is more important than any model.
