yamsterman Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share #362 Posted May 3, 2017 hi carl its about time i managed to get back to building.....suffering from withdrawl symptoms. i will still have to suffer this stupid shift system till the end of the year probably....so not a lot of time to spend butchering wood. i have checked out your latest endeavours with your musashi build........origami with microscopic pieces of brass!!!! and i thought 1/48 scale period ships were fiddly. respect mon brave!!!! cheers....mick cog, Canute and Omega1234 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamsterman Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share #364 Posted May 3, 2017 hi kurt modelmakings been severely hampered by a new shift pattern at work......more appearances required,less time off , slightly shorter shifts. result is less time in the shop....very annoying. however i will have to content myself with shorter stints at the workbench once all of lifes other responsibilities have been met. thanks for the kind words...i hope to have another installment ready soon! cheers....mick Omega1234 and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamsterman Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share #365 Posted May 3, 2017 hi carl i think i would have to buy a least two of each set to make up for all the little pieces that "pinged" out of the tweezers and disappeared into the blackhole of workshop parts gobbler!!!. cheers...mick AON, Omega1234, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamsterman Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share #366 Posted May 3, 2017 hi dan thanks for the compliment. i see you have started your model of the washington......i shall be following closely!! surprised there arent more builds up and running esp from our cousins across the pond......kind of an iconic american ship. cheers.....mick Omega1234 and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtosail Posted May 3, 2017 Share #367 Posted May 3, 2017 Its on my possible future builds list, but right now I am dealing with another American icon ship. Yours looks great, Mike.

cog Posted May 3, 2017 Share #368 Posted May 3, 2017 Mick, as long as you have fun is what matters most, but that is something you already know. You have got one of those workshop gobblers too!!! I would expect the gobbler to grow, but he, or she is still invisible size wise It's an expensive piece of workshop equipment!!

xken Posted June 10, 2017 Share #373 Posted June 10, 2017 Mick, great build and yes don't you just hate when work interferes with shop time. I love the brass work on the stove and it usually only takes one burnt finger to learn about hot parts; that is of course unless your learning curve is a circle. Keep up the great work!

IN THE MEAN TIME IVE BEEN BEAVERING AWAY MAKING SOME MORE TOOLS....AND SOME MORE YET TO MAKE..... EDT'S PLANKING CLAMPS HAVE BEEN MADE......SIMPLE SCREW CLAMPS TO FOLLOW ......AND THEN EDT'S CHISELS ( GULP) PHOTOS BELOW. MODERATORS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MOVE THIS IF ITS NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE. HOPEFULLY THE CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE OBVIOUS FROM THE PHOTOS. THE SPACERS HAVE BEEN MADE FROM BUFFALO HORN......DIDNT HAVE ANY HARDWOOD DOWEL TO HAND. I ALSO CHANGED THE NUTS FROM THOSE IN THE SECOND PHOTO. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK.

yamsterman Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share #378 Posted September 11, 2017 HI ALL THE RESULTS OF TODAYS ENDEAVOURS ARE ENCLOSED. I FOLLOWED EDT'S DRAWING BUT CHANGED THE THREAD SIZE TO 3MM. THE NUTS ARE EPOXIED ONTO THE THREADED RODS. FAIRLY SIMPLE TO MAKE...BUT THE DRILLING HAS TO BE SPOT ON!!! THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SIX SMALL CLAMPS AND TWO LARGER ONES...BUT I HAD A SENIOR MOMENT AND SANDED THE WRONG END!!!! OH WELL CAN ALWAYS MAKE SOME MORE. PHOTOS AS USUAL AND THE LAST ONE PROVES THAT THEY DO WORK........ I MAY HAVE A GO AT THE MORE COMPLICATED VERSION WHILST IM IN TOOL BUILDING MODE......LEFT HANDED TAPS AND DIES ARE FAIRLY EASY TO GET HOLD OF.....ABOUT £22 FOR A DIE AND 2ND TAP........I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND DRILL SERVICE OF HORLEY........SHOULD PROVE A CHALLENGE CROSS DRILLING THOSE BRASS PIVOTS FOR THE THREADS!!!!
