BANYAN Posted October 26, 2022 Share #31 Posted October 26, 2022 Hi Rob, sorry out of action for a couple of days helping one of my sons with yard work. 'Victoria' used the Rapson son which is under the grating you see. It used a short axel wheel on an inverted/back to front 'V' frame (opposite to normal) to cater for her short counter and leave room for the after pivot-gun. This put the legs of the support frame forward of the wheel and the wheel could then be mounted almost directly over the transverse/thwartship slide. In Victoria's set-up the tiller was abaft the helmsman, you can just make it out in the photo. That the reason for the grating over the system. cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
