its a different ship-so i win

good evening everyone

 

no build time at all this weekend, boooooooooooooo, so before member dietcoke23 tells me off for pointless posts i have a question, or two

 

when did HMS victory stop having extreme after davits, i would like to display my ships boats there, and would the measurements for these be about the same as for the cat heads

 

my reasoning for this is - as i intend to set every sail, i doubt the skid rails would be seen

 

 

These are not my photo's

 

@ Kevin, thanks for looking in and helping out with sub technicalities. 

Pleasure to help

i loved my time on diesel submarines, cramped, damp, smelly, horrible in rough weather, i spent 8 years on Odin - brilliant time

wonderful work, well done

todays update 

 

Window sill on the stern and 1/4 galleries

 

after trying to bend the brass profile under the catheads, i decided to try another approach on the stern and try styrene

using 0.5mm x 2mm i have paced one strip horizontal and the 2nd at 90 deg to it, i think for a 1st attempt i might just get away with it

still very much work i progress - after all its me - and will need to redo a couple of times before i relise the fist attempt was best

 

this what i am trying to achieve

Jerry 

glad you sorted waterline problem out, 

 

all the issues you are finding have been discussed within these forums recently so we are happy to help where we can including the copper tiling

well done, i just had a similar problem on one of my channels, only caught half way through putting the chain plates on

hello everyone

 

I have been quiet on MSW this week, RL and work getting in the way, took day off work just to get on with the build, 

 

the stern is taking quite a lot of time to get right, no visit from Murphy to mess it up either, he paid me a visit at the week-end on the last chain plate channel

 

did not realise the problem until 1/2 way through fitting the chain plates themselves  found out it was far to low, approx 5mm

 

the Spanish inquisition i carried out revealed i had been measuring from the wale on the plans, but transferred the distance from the painted black band on the build,
