Mike40 Posted November 3, 2016 Share #671 Posted November 3, 2016 The binnacle looks real good Jesse and the bell turned out quite nice too. Great tip on the ca glue. I'm looking forward to learning about soldering. I have done just enough of it to know it isn't all that easy and I expect especially when soldering such small items for models.

JesseLee Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share #672 Posted November 8, 2016 My illness is making it more difficult to get much work done at a time but have a little more progress to show.... Constructed the companionway. Pretty much by the instruction book. I had a lot of trouble making this because of how thin the walls are. Colored the edges with pencil lead to show the caulking. Couldn't keep the sides straight and square. Finally clamped them around the end of a piece of wood that was the right size to fit just inside the walls and got everything squared up. (The camera angle makes it look off but it's not) This will be added on later after the carronades are rigged into place. Started pre making the tiller. Shaped it and added a wood peg to secure it through the rudder. Dry fitted for now. Will add rings later and glue it on after the two cannons are rigged into place.

JesseLee Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share #677 Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks Carl, Ken and Denis. Alan, thanks for those pics. You can learn from pictures like that even if they aren't exactly the same rig. More progress on deck fittings. Drilled out dowels for the pump drums. Widened the bottom of the drums by gluing a wire around the bottom then filling it in and tapering it with several layers of CA glue. Clipped off pieces from a plastic spray tube from a WD-40 can to make the pump spouts. Made the center post and crossbar from the basswood provided in the kit. Made iron bands on the ends by wrapping with paper strips with CA glue. Following the instructions I made the pump brackets by bending brass pieces, drilling a hole in the bottom and CA gluing pieces of 22 gauge wire I the holes. Painted the appropriate parts black and have them drying for assembly.

JesseLee Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share #681 Posted November 19, 2016 As always, thanks for all the support. Assembled the pumps. Admired how some others added the handles so I thought I'd give it a try. Made mine out of wood and used wire for the handles. Don't know if I should leave the handles on or not. I like the way it looks with them but they also take up a lot of deck room.
