Old Collingwood Posted November 2, 2013 Share #481 Posted November 2, 2013 Thank you for that hamilton, i have been saving some diagrams and pictures of greyhound and her sisters, and one or two first obvious things i can see, firstly i noticed that the bulwak on the real ship steps down further back towards the mizen mast close to bulkhead no 10, and the mention of there being 11 gun ports on the real ship, i think the missing number 11 port is in the rear captains cabin, just as in many fighting vessels.

hamilton Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share #482 Posted November 2, 2013 Hi Collingwood: You're right - there are definitely challenges in trying to realise an authentic Greyhound (or Blandford) out of this kit. The bulwark step is one issue that I had to fudge and that will remain a bit of a sore point with me. As for the gunports - Corel has chosen to make the foremost "bridle" port into a gunport, which results in the "missing" gunport aft that you notice. There really is no room on this kit for adding that aftmost port. I chose to represent the Blandford awkwardly as an "18-gun" ship, since putting cannons in the foremost port would have blocked the ladders to the forecastle - thus I figured them as "bridle ports" and of necessity had to drop the number of cannons.....I don't know how this could have been solved with this kit - it would have required a considerable elongation of the centre keel and the addition of another bulkhead piece...... hamilton Quote current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (in need of a refit); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch) under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

Old Collingwood Posted November 2, 2013 Share #483 Posted November 2, 2013 What i will do is try to space the 11th port quite close to the side cabin window assembly, as this looks like how they have been laid out, like in the victory where nelson had one in his quarters that was lashed against the side when not in use, and when in action his best and most trusted gunnery men would fire from it. It looks like there might just be enough room just after bulhead 12, possibly not quite centred between bulkheads as with the others, but a slight nudge towards bul 12 might not look to bad, even if not open or cut out it could be a dummy port just engraved with hinge assembly.

rlb Posted November 3, 2013 Share #485 Posted November 3, 2013 Hamilton, I've just seen your log now, because you've done the whole thing while I was on hiatus from my model! Amazing. You've done a fantastic job fixing and upgrading the kit weaknesses. She looks great.

hamilton Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share #486 Posted November 3, 2013 Thanks Ron! Much appreciate - I've been admiring your work on the Oneida! Hi Collingwood - perhaps this could work, but I think you might encounter problems since the Corel keel does not really correspond to the plans you've posted above - it is simply too short. You might get away with it with a different quarter gallery arrangement than the one depicted in the images you've posted - Goodwin depicts one with a single window that could accommodate a tenth gunport given Corel's design. I'm curious about the second image - the one marked "Blandford, Lynx & Scarborough". It's clearly taken from Goodwin's Anatomy of the Ship HMS Blandford - one of the primary sources I've been using. But I'm curious about the cyrillic characters in the bottom left....is this an image you found online? Or a scanning of a hard copy plan sheet that you have? hamilton Quote current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (in need of a refit); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch) under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.

hamilton Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share #492 Posted November 8, 2013 Well there's only been modest progress on Blandford lately - things are gearing up at work and there is no longer the time I used to have for modelling. I expect that I'll be slowing down considerably, between work, baby and upcoming holidays.....bits and pieces here and there I suspect....we'll see how things go. In the meantime, here are a few pictures - since last post I've attached and rigged the fore topgallant mast, added rigging for the fore staysail & jibsail and tied a whole bunch of ratlines (still the fore mast ratlines to go!!).

hamilton Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share #498 Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks all for the compliments - as always much appreciated! Still mired in tying ratlines, which I hope to finish this evening (if I can finish up some work this afternoon). Then finally it'll be back to some more interesting work on the build - namely, constructing, outfitting and rigging the yards....then on to the final stages - sweep ports, sweeps, anchors, finishing the lanterns and the figurehead. Probably won't finish until after Christmas at this point, but that just means more time with this build, which has been as fun as it's been frustrating.

By the way, what are you thinking about the ornaments -being set aside for a while- along the bulwarks forward & aft and on the transom, any other ideas? hamilton 1 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share #510 Posted November 14, 2013 Hi Ferit: I agree about taking a break - I've been feeling less pressure to work on the Greyhound, especially as my schedule fills up with other things... As for the decorative elements, I think I'm going to leave them off...at least for now. The bulwarks are now masked behind the shrouds, so I can't get at them even if I wanted - the transom I might still try something with and I will probably end up finishing the kit supplied figurehead and using that....we'll see. Anyway, thanks for coming by! Look forward to more of your Berlin soon hamilton Quote current builds: Corel HMS Bellona (1780); Admiralty models Echo cross-section (semi-scratch) previous builds: MS Phantom (scuttled, 2017); MS Sultana (1767); Corel Brittany Sloop (scuttled, 2022); MS Kate Cory; MS Armed Virginia Sloop (in need of a refit); Corel Flattie; Mamoli Gretel; Amati Bluenose (1921) (scuttled, 2023); AL San Francisco (destroyed by land krakens [i.e., cats]); Corel Toulonnaise (1823); MS Glad Tidings (1937) (in need of a refit); HMS Blandford (1719) from Corel HMS Greyhound; Fair Rosamund (1832) from OcCre Dos Amigos (missing in action); Amati Hannah (ship in a bottle); Mamoli America (1851); Bluenose fishing schooner (1921) (scratch); Off-Centre Sailing Skiff (scratch) under the bench: MS Emma C Barry; MS USS Constitution; MS Flying Fish; Corel Berlin; a wood supplier Colonial Schooner Hannah; Victory Models H.M.S.
