yamsterman Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share #488 Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) hi again i forgot to mention in the previous post that a little help is required.Regarding the lateen rig. The plans show only the basic position of the ropes. my knowledge of lateen rig is scanty to say the least. some help with regards to how the ropes were attached to the yards and how the ropes were joined together (see photos) would be gratefully received. cheers....mick all photos courtesy of nrg/msw Edited August 24, 2019 by yamsterman JOUFF, GrandpaPhil, Canute and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niwotwill Posted August 26, 2019 Share #489 Posted August 26, 2019 Mike i read your entire log and now I’m getting ready to start my galley. Still trying to decide on which wood type to use when picked I’ll then rip and mill to size. I think I’ll start my log when I order my timber. i love your work and have one question, oh maybe more but one for now. Did you use silver solder on the stove? Ok another question what silver did you use sheet, wire, or paste? your work is amazing and something to try for Will mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Current Build: Erycina 1882 Fishing Trawler by Vanguard Models 1:64 scale Syren by pearwill Model Shipways 1:64 scale On Hold: HM Cutter Cheerful Syren Shipmodel Scratch 1:48 scale 1776 Washington Row Galley scratch scratch from NRG plans #121 1:48 scale Completed Build: Charles W.

yamsterman Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share #490 Posted August 29, 2019 hi will look forward to you starting your log with regards to the stove.......silver solder paste as used by jewellers was the prime "glue". comes in three basic forms low temp medium temp and high temp.........start with the high and work down to the low for the final bits. i did try using two part epoxy on a previous attempt but was not happy with the results. cheers....mick Canute, kurtvd19 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamsterman Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share #492 Posted March 11, 2021 hi all cant believe its been so long since i posted anything! unfortunately two family bereavements, both parents, and being recently made redundant after 27 years with the same company has kept me otherwise engaged. I have not forgotten about everybody and the site and hopefully will soon be back in the thick of it. cheers....mick Canute, mtaylor and MEDDO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamsterman Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share #494 Posted March 16, 2021 hi carl thanks for your kind words . finding another job is going to be a long slog.....not entitled to benefits other than jobseekers allowance for six months,which will not amount to a great deal ....apparently i have too much money in the bank!!!!! taking the opportunity of my enforced sabatical to catch up with a few jobs before i can get back to modelmaking. parents estate will be resolved this week so one less thing to worry about. must endeavour to get washington galley finished and then decided on the next project. just had three deliveries from chuck at syren will take the obligatory photos once the camera battery has charge up! cheers...mick mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the learner Posted March 16, 2021 Share #496 Posted March 16, 2021 Wow fantastic job on the hinges, are they the correct thickness? looks a bit thick to me but might be the pictures. The build is really progressing nicely and I love the shop, wish mine looked that good! mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamsterman Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share #497 Posted March 18, 2021 hi guy I reckon the hinges work out to approx 1/2 inch thick in real life. started off with k+s special shapes metal 1/16 by 1/32 as the basic strap material which was the soldered and filed to shape. In an ideal world i would have prefered 1/16 by 1/64 but could not get hold of any so they do look a bit chunky. Im not sure the guys that built these ships would have been overly concerned, they would have probably used/manufactured whatever was to hand. Im off now to scour the internet looking for brass strips!! regards...mick Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite true. Reading about the conditions while building my PHILADELPHIA was quite interesting. WASHINGTON would have been the same. At the time, the location was pretty much in the middle of nowhere. They builders had the benefit of a working (captured) lumber mill, and alot of wood but the other necessities such as cordage and ironwork...not so much. Those had to be purchased from and carted in from shipbuilding locations that were already short of supplies because of their own needs. I also recall them having problems finding craftsmen. They sometimes had to pay very handsomely...noting at one time the craftsmen were making more than the admiral of the American navy. Half inch hinges are fine. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, John Smith Shallop Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch 1/4 scale-Model Shipways plans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
