good afternoon everyone
still a few fittings to sort, but i now have possibly a ladder im happy with,amother 3 to go but will all be slighly different in the way they are rigged
if in the long term i do make it again, i will use the original idea of more brass, but for now this is staying

Some news (exciting I hope) when I have finished these bunch and now possibly the drummer boy - I will be (wait for it)..........be starting on the farm complex - base - scenery, I will have to rearrange the table to create more room as the base is quite large at 3 feet by nearly 2 feet, and I still need room for my lamp.

It might be a lot of extra work Kevin, but it’s worth it - that is looking really good!

good evening everyone
must admit I never realised just how much extra work i have given my self
i am still working on the first of 4 accommodation ladders, and every time i look at @schiffebastler build i see more detail to be added.
i was asking about how to cut brass tubing into small sections to make the Stanchion supports and found out if i put small lengths into a rotary drill i can score the lenghts quite accurately with a x-acto blade

good evening everyone
ladders continued
i made up a second set of platform supports, but had to reposition the lower platform slightly to allow the upper ladder to rest on it
the lower ladder is lowered and raised by a block and tackle derrick so a couple of brackets made up to support it
made up a chain spreader
the chains are to long
and blocks oversized
and the spreader could do with being not quite so wide
or i may make the platforms a little wider, which might be the best option
a messy desk tonight

While we're waiting for some nice laser-cut goodies coming from Italy for this build, perhaps you'd like to take a look at this link and give them your wholehearted support:
This promises to be an amazing project and about as close to the actual Trafalgar that any of us could ever hope to get!
Go forth! 'England Model Ship World expects that everyone will do their duty'!
