Hello, thank you for your nice comments. The first carronade is permanently installed.
-
@ cabrapente Here I show a picture of the homemade drill. The following diameters are available: Ø 0,6 mm Ø 0,8 mm Ø 1,2 mm
-
With extended drill the necessary holes are made.

Thank you for your nice comment. Here are two pictures of manufacturing the hook for the gunport lids attachment.

Hello, many thanks for your motivating comments This drilling pattern is repeated twenty times. It was therefore obvious to use a template here. This I soldered together from brass. With a small handle the application easier. So that now, with a small graver holes all be precisely prearranged, without having to measure each time the model. See you around ...

HMS Victory by EdT - FINISHED - 1:96 - POB
archjofo replied to EdT's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Hallo Ed, your buildingreport is an impressive and instructive demonstration to build a professional historical ship model. To study the method of step by step instructions with beautiful pictures is a pleasure. For this, I thank you. -
Hello, here are further preparations for Installation of carronades and cannons. Meanwhile accumulated on the deck of my French corvette a lot of "junk". These pieces of equipment I have not yet fixed. On the blank ship deck the holes for the attachment of the breeching ropes can be more easily drilled. I also built a working aid together. This enables me when drilling support forward in order to guide the drill more safely.

Hi Carl, You're basically right, but I think that it is also good for brass.
-
Hi Carl, it is a protective oil, that prevents corrosion.

Forty staples are completed. Subsequently, the staples were blackened.

Thank you all. I´m very pleased by yours nice words. Your comments give me more flavor in the works and I will try to do the best possible result. Here's a little update of my report. Look yourself ...

Hello, here is the continuation of the building report: The breeching rope is attached to the bulwark with strong staples. Here I show you the making of these staples made of brass wire with a diameter of 1 mm. The staples outboard be screwed with square nuts, as shown in the following picture.
-
Hello, in addition to the breeching ropes for carronades I am also working on the breeching ropes for the 18 pounder guns. A small detail for the height adjustment of the gun barrels had to be done. The straps of the wood blocks had to be installed. In the background is the breeching rope already seen.

Hello, thank you very much for your kind words and the comments. Here I show the continuation of rigging the carronades.

Hello, I wish you all a happy new year. The building report continues with the breeching ropes of the carronades. The special feature is that the rope in the rear region of the breech is protected by a leather taping in the form of a tube. Here are some pictures of the work to breeching ropes.

Hello, many thanks for the nice comments. Lately, here are little progress has been made. Here are just two pictures of the model. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Remco, the etch parts I have made here LINK.

Hello, the nice words are a motivation again and again. Thank you for that! Under no. 244 of my building report I showed the production of hooks for attaching the gunport lids. This version was not satisfactory for me. The original hooks were of flat metal, not from round material. So I made the hooks again. This time I let them etching of brass sheet 0.3 mm. That's not very expensive. The drawing for the exposure film I made with a vector drawing program. And now here are some pictures that probably speak for themselves, better than my poor translation. Here the comparison: Links of the new hook, etched, the right of the old hooked wire. The last picture for today a look at the starboard side of the corvette.

Hello Friends, thank you for your encouraging comments. At the bow of the French corvette, a small seawater pump was installed. Through a water pipe with a suction sieve, water was pumped up. In the area of the underwater hull 3 more suction sieve were installed. This suction sieve I made out of brass sheet 0.3 mm. To prepare, I show the following Series:

Hello, it has been some time since my last update to my building report. So I made in the meantime other small but important details. So the timberheads received post covers in roof form. Another detail to protect the hull from the anchor flukes was added. Here you can see some pictures. I hope that you like it,

Hello, thanks for the nice comments. I have to correct a statement. This piece of equipment is not a stearing roller (reel ). Meanwhile, I know that this is a chain-pipe. This part is used for the anchor chain, to let down into the chain locker.

Wonderful!

Hello, thanks for the kind words. This component I have now burnished. I think it looks better.
