jonny.amy Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share #121 Posted July 21, 2015 Hello Chaps, Just a quick update on Sherbourne and the Display backdrop.... Painting of brickwork is complete, not the tidiest job, but I have a cunning plan to tidy up the grout lines! I need to find Tipex/White Out pen and trace round every line to add a bit more definition to it. I'll head to the hobby shop over the weekend and buy some mossy plants for seaweed and gravel/sand ballast for the beach below. I've used the foam board to add a gradient to the base, and in doing this the Hard/Stone wall sits about 15mm above the top of bulwarks on Sherbourne, so gives the impression of the Cutter being maintained at low tide in a deep port. I need to head out to the DIY Store tonight or tomorrow night to buy the base board for the Model,I need to find something 540mm in length and 240mm wide, but I'd rather not pay over the odds for it!

jonny.amy Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share #124 Posted July 22, 2015 Hi Chaps, I went to the DIY Store last night and found a great piece of oak with minimal knots and splits in it, and at 25mm had a nice weight to it (4.8 Kilos)... At £21.00 for a 900mm x 300mm length, I thought it was too good of an opportunity to pass up! So I rashered that down to 540mm and 260mm wide (to fit on the mantelpiece) and tidied it up with a plane, rasp and a bit of sand paper. I glued the backdrop down to the board and coated it with some PVA glue and large stone chippings I bought from the model shop. I used the remainder of the railway ballast from Convulsion to layer on top of the board. I'll head to the model shop tonight and pick up some fine sand material and moss/seaweed for the board. I have the day off on Friday, so I will head over to the DIY Store and pick up some Perspex for the display case. I need to make four sides of Perspex and can use fibre board for the back panel.

Stockholm tar Posted July 22, 2015 Share #125 Posted July 22, 2015 Hi Jonny, That's looking very impressive! How about the mooring lines? Bow line, stern line and a couple of springs should do it. Perhaps also a few bollards or rings on the quay to fasten them to. jonny.amy, egkb and Canute 3 Quote Kester Current builds: Sherbourne (Caldercraft) scale – 1/64th; Statsraad Lehmkuhl (half model) 1/8th" – 1'.

jonny.amy Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share #126 Posted July 22, 2015 That's the plan for this evening! Those will be the final touches for the model, but I will build them on to the display now so that once the rigging is started (and eventually finished) I will be able to finish the model off with bow/stern lines and springs. I'll take more photos tonight of the rope work tonight. As for bollards, I'm not sure if they were used in this period of history, so I'm going to cheat and use brass rod to make a series of bars sunk in to the stonework as tie down points.

jonny.amy Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share #129 Posted July 26, 2015 Antony, 50 gold stars for you! Thanks for answering my question on the bollards! I have the kit supplied cannons left over so I was hoping to find a use for them. Thanks for the kind words! I have made serious headway on Sherbourne this weekend, having run all the Shrouds, Running Backstays, and Forestay. I also build up the main sail that will be lashed on to the gaffboom and brass rings around the mast. I still have to build the yards and rig the bow sprit, but the lower mast is almost there!

jonny.amy Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share #130 Posted July 27, 2015 Morning Chaps, This weekend was rather busy in the Shipyard, with the rigging of the standing rigging and construction of the display cabinet! So it is photo-update time on Sherbourne before a "Pupdate"! Standing Rigging Photos.... Display Case Photos... There is still a lot to do in regards to the rigging and the display case. I need to find a way of removing a few superglue stains from the Plexiglass and I need to trim a few corners down for the brass corner pieces to go over the top of them. I could also use my Dremel to neaten up the back of the case, but I can only do this one the model and backboard are in place. PRESS RELEASE..... Time for a Pupdate!!! I'd like to introduce Lily to you all as the new Shipyard Surveyor and Master Shipwright. She will be taking on this role from 21st August 2015. The Admiral has ordered all Ship Building to cease from 21st August for one month to get the new team member used to her new surroundings! Sherbourne is to be near to completion by this point. As you can see, she will need a good wash before she starts Surveying!

GuntherMT Posted July 27, 2015 Share #132 Posted July 27, 2015 Very nice! Is the idea with the base that it's low tide and the ship is grounded, or do you intend on adding a 'water' component on top of your current base? jonny.amy 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

jonny.amy Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share #133 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Brian, The intention is to have the model dried out against the wall in a tidal harbour, for example St Ives, Cornwall, or Gorey in Jersey. I had thought about using the water gel stuff, but have had less than decent outcomes from using it. The last attempt I made using the stuff, it cracked and split so badly that there was not fixing it. The photos below are the sort of look I'm heading for.....

jonny.amy Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share #134 Posted July 29, 2015 Hi All, There's been little progress to speak of in the last few days, apart from making the mainsail (same fashion as the sails on Convulsion) and stitching that on to the drivergaff. The one thing I have done though is add the reef lines to the sails, so it can be furled properly. I need to add a bolt rope and block to the end of the boom to act as the clew and outhaul. This would mean the sail is rigged correctly. I probably will not bother with rigging a Cunningham or downhaul, just the outhaul and reef lines as they are more than likely to be seen on a ship of this period. See the PDF for a quick sketch...

jonny.amy Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share #135 Posted July 30, 2015 Hi Chaps, Again, progress was a bit slow last night. I finally got round to painting the Forecourse Yard and adding the outhaul to the spanker boom. I also made the Staysail and the Forecourse using the curtain lining I found at the Haberdashery whilst building Convulsion. I'll draw on the sail patches, and stain these with a weak solution of tea, and leave them to dry overnight. We have a team coming in tomorrow to fix the boundary fences on the property tomorrow and the Landlord has requested that one of us is present in the house the whole time, so I've got the pleasure of a full uninterrupted day in the Shipyard tomorrow! I plan to get the ratlines started this weekend and maybe if the process smoothly, I might get some other bits of rigging done.

jonny.amy Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share #136 Posted August 1, 2015 Afternoon Everyone, Yesterday's "uninterrupted day of ship building" was more of an uninterrupted day of house work that included washing clothes, mopping the floors, tidying the bedroom, tidying the lounge, cleaning the kitchen, occasional cigarette break, and then washing the dishes. Starting at 7am and finishing around 5pm, I had no time to build the model. Next on my list of chores today, is hang out the washing and tidy up my build area (the dining room table) before I can build any further. Oh and the best news of it all is that the model must be finished, or near completion in 3 weeks, so I've got full attention on the puppy!! I'm a little bit worried now!! I'll keep you posted on all developments with Sherbourne in the next 3 weeks.

jonny.amy Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #138 Posted August 3, 2015 Hi Guys, I've managed to get some time now to update you all on Sherbourne. This weekend saw a hive of activity on Sherbourne, with mostly all but the ratlines complete. There are still a few odds and sods to get on with, and I need to stitch the topsail to the yard, and rig the reef lines and blocks. One thing I've noticed is that there are no stays on the Topmast and no shrouds to the topsail yard, I assume that the Topsail is the main driving sail so it rarely reefed in or furled. And my other assumption in the furling/reefing process is that the yard would be dropped to the Forecourse yard and reefed from there. Am I correct in assuming so? Any way, here are some photo's of Sherbourne so far... That's all for now folks!

My question is a perplexing one now... How do I clean up and remove CA glue from plastic? I've used Plexiglass on the Display Cabinet, and I managed to get a few runs of the CA glue and "Plastic Weld" glue on the glazing. Do any of you know any methods of removing CA from plastics? I've tried using an industrial strength glue remover, but it's let a rather cloudy finish to the Plexiglass! I'm not sure what to do now, as I'm reluctant to break out the panel and replace it, or scrape the material to clear it away...

Canute Posted August 3, 2015 Share #141 Posted August 3, 2015 Jonny, you may have to scrape some and then polish it out with finer and finer sandpapers. Most solvents that remove the CA will probably mar the Plexiglass. Look for a company named Novus.http://www.novuspolish.com/ They sell plastic polishing kits with some liquid cleaner and polishing pads. Their website says they have distributors in the UK, Europe (Holland) and France. I've used the liquid on watch crystals and it cleans up light scratches well. jonny.amy 1 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny.amy Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #142 Posted August 3, 2015 Ken, I've looked at Novus and I'll more than likely go down that route, but I was hoping not to scrape any material off. What I didn't realise when I used the Solvent Cleaner is that with CA glues it just thins it, makes it pliable again and you have to scrape it off with a blade. I might give it another go tonight, but worst case scenario is to scrape it away, wet and dry the plexiglass, and then polish the plexiglass.

GuntherMT Posted August 4, 2015 Share #143 Posted August 4, 2015 I know that acetone is great at dissolving CA, but I have no idea what it would do to Plexiglas. Probably nothing good. jonny.amy 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

jonny.amy Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share #144 Posted August 4, 2015 Hi Chaps, I have another update for later on today! I managed to get the Topsail on to the yard last night, and I also got it on to the model. The next phase for the topsail is to rig the reef lines, but I'll have to dig out some spare blocks from my President stash to finish her off! I'll post photos later on!

jonny.amy Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share #145 Posted August 4, 2015 Photo Update time... Sherbourne is moving on very quickly currently, and the final touches are being applied before the model is completed, but that will more than likely be in the next two weeks. I will reef the topsail tonight, but with the Admiral being sent home from work with flu-like symptoms, I may be on duty in the sickbay. Here's a few photo's on Sherbourne flying her Topsail up against the harbour wall. Note in the first photo you can see a hazy patch on the display case, this where the CA Glue has run and I've tried (and failed) to clear it up. I will use my day off on Friday to clear this up, after my trip to the Physiotherapy Department at the hospital.

jonny.amy Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share #147 Posted August 6, 2015 Cheers Eamonn, I was going for deadly!! Haha, last night was the start of Great British Bake Off (Lucy's favourite program), so I had to down tools rather prematurely last night because I "would make too much noise" if I continued on the model. So I just managed to paint the Marines on the Quayside and get them glued down in place before the start of the TV program. Here is a photo of what I could see from the sofa last night! I agree, from that view, she does look deadly!

jonny.amy Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share #150 Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Chaps, Puppy proofing the house has taken priority of Ship building this weekend, but saying that, once I have cleared my tools away for the puppy, I'll be on to the ratlines tonight. We're seeing the puppy this afternoon and then after that it will be all go on the ratlines!
