antanasp Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share #32 Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks Carl. After the some delay the build is continued. The Master Korabel recommended for the pins use the brass wire. But I decided to make the wood pins. Used the toothpicks and drawings from my another model. But slightly reduce the size. As lathe used the Proxxon drill and stand. The file was turning tool. Turned, sanded and placed in the pin rails holes. The next step - anchor riding bitts. At the first sanded and slightly improved the look. And from steel pins made the square-head nails. Placed the nails on the standard and cross beams.

antanasp Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share #35 Posted September 14, 2015 Carl, You are right. But this is a big secret... Thank You Nils. Laser pre cut planks are good. You are right. But my hands not so good. I make too many mistakes. But I believe the next time will be better.

antanasp Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share #37 Posted September 27, 2015 Hello all! Some weeks I not worked on my model. Migrated from my old Windows XP notebook to iMac. It was not easy... But I do it and have some free time for my models! At first make the holes for anchors rope. Painted the hole in black. But the most difficult place was the main plank-sheer. He was broken four o six times. But successfully glued in the place... When added the knees the situation will become much better. Part of the plank-sheer painted in black using the ink.

antanasp Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share #38 Posted October 2, 2015 Now time for the swivel guns pedestals. Sanded to get the normal wood look. Every pedestal are individually adapted to its place. Then drilled the holes in the pedestals ends and glued to its places. Add the last two cleats and steel rings. The U shape mounts for the swivel guns are made from brass. They are simple photo etched parts and need the some sanding too. The details are small and I used the my magnifying glass. Before bending I anneal the brass parts, because during the bending process they can break. Then the parts are chemically blackening. And finally from steel pins made the U shaped mounts axis. That's all at this time.

antanasp Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share #39 Posted October 4, 2015 The double boat was the first kit of the Master Korabel. And they use the Amati swivel guns. The quality of the swivel guns are bad. The bores seems very bad. But I do not want to change them. I think that this should be done only at the last resort. Otherwise, it would then model from a kit? I'll try to change the look of the swivel guns. At the first make the barrels more short. About 0,3 mm. Then repair the bore using the conical mill. Now the bore have correct shape. And corrected the trunnion shape. Rounded them and reduced the length. And blackening bores and trunnions. Now they looks much better. The next step is to add the handles to the swivel guns. I make them from the copper wire using the gas torch. Make the beads at the wire ends.

cog Posted October 4, 2015 Share #40 Posted October 4, 2015 Antanas, The beads at the end, are those molten copper, or solder? Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antanasp Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share #41 Posted October 4, 2015 Hi Carl. The molten copper. Some years ago I try to make from the solder, but the result not satisfied me.

cog Posted October 4, 2015 Share #42 Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks Antanas, I'll have to give that one a try. It will probably turn out in burning copper wire mtaylor 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

antanasp Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share #43 Posted October 4, 2015 Carl, please the one end of the copper wire near the torch flame. The copper will begin to melt and will go to a ball. The diameter of the ball will depend on the storage time in the flame and wire thickness.

antanasp Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share #44 Posted October 9, 2015 The next - the rudder. Sanding the details to remove the dark surface. The rudder blank has been processed so as to more correspond to the actual rudder. To the kit brass parts added 4 brass tubes.Tubes soldered to brass parts. But before the brass strips shape are changed. For this I use the 1,8 mm diameter drill. The bras parts are chemically blackened. The tiller painted using the black ink. And everything installed into place.

antanasp Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share #45 Posted October 12, 2015 Small update. The hatches looks not very well. So, I added the rings. Now they looks better. Improved the look of the chain plates. They are made from brass. But photo etched parts are not have very hight quality. The files and sandpaper help me. And mounted deadeyes. From brass sheet made the swivel gun pedestals fittings.

antanasp Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #46 Posted October 13, 2015 All jobs on the hull are done and now time to oil. I use the carnauba and candelilla wax based breathable tung oil. It dries within 24 hours, full polymerization time about 6 month. I place 2 layers of the oil. Now leave to dry for a week.

Fam Posted October 13, 2015 Share #47 Posted October 13, 2015 Outstanding building Antanas I've found your build log only today and have read everything with lot of interest. Definitely not an beginners-looking kit, mainly thanks to your improvements!

antanasp Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #48 Posted October 13, 2015 Thank You Fam. I add only minimum improvements. And this can do any builder, I'll think.

Chemically blackened. Rings coiled rope, then painted in black. Stubble removed using a burner. The oars holders from steel pins.
