Dfell Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share #93 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Another step forward. Have completed quarterdeck rail with swivel gun posts. With the foredeck swivel guns posts I have copied the rear post as to how they sit in conjunction with the trim running along the side of the ship - so as to keep everything the same. Sorry for maybe not being historically correct - on the instructions the front posts overlap the trim. Side steps and fenders in place. Also have changed the spindles on the quarterdeck gangways as I did not like the kit supplied ones. Hopefully these look a bit better. Thank you simonthepieman and Spyglass for looking in and your comments and all the likes from others.

Dfell Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share #97 Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Hello - further steps forward. I feel as if I might be half way through the build - am I? Gun port lids done with the bow ones closed. Channels, deadeyes and chain plates all in place and secured. Thank you S Coleman, Blue Ensign and Martin W for your comments - much appreciated. Martin - the fenders are kit supplied so not down to me. The kit has supplied chain plates which have a nice way of overlapping which surprised me as this type of detail does not appear anywhere else in this kit.

Martin W Posted September 15, 2017 Share #98 Posted September 15, 2017 Hi Doug -- You are moving along well, and your Fly is filling up with plenty of nice details. I'm well behind you, but a few days ago wondered if I were nearing the halfway mark. So I made a list, and realised I'm not even close -- but then again, I'm well behind you (I haven't even started the head work). And the rigging will take a solid three or four months -- if you put in long hours. Really, though, there are plenty of nice details in your build to look at and admire.

Dfell Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share #100 Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Hello - masts and bowsprit shaped (thinner at one end and thicker the other end), fitted (mostly dry fitted). 'fidded', 'bolstered' and 'blocked' as per 7 & 8 Plan sheets. Masts painted a light cream as walnut dowel was various colour shades. The trestletrees sort of fell apart when cutting them from the laser sheets - 'probablynot' referred to them being badly lasered when he first got his Fly build. Does anyone know what has happened to him - not seen his build for a long time. Hope he is well and the builders have not put him under the concrete floor of his new conservatory...... The woolding I may have used a too thicker thread and the metal bands are black tape. Bowsprite cap rebuilt as kit supplied was wrong shape.

Dfell Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share #102 Posted November 1, 2017 Thank you Blue Ensign. Tried to do more with the block work on the bowsprite with seizing etc but found it extremely difficult. As with my first build, Supply, I could not rig the guns fully but this time had ago so maybe on the next build might progress a bit more.... Anyway, again thank you very much for your comments - have learnt from your Pegasus build.

Dan Vadas Posted November 1, 2017 Share #103 Posted November 1, 2017 Looking good Doug . One point, might be a bit too late for you. The forward "Gun Port" isn't a gun port - it's known as the Bridle Port, and swings forward rather than up. It's used for ventilation to the forecastle, and for access to the anchors when shipping them. See THIS LINK to my build log of HMS Vulture (another Swan).

Dfell Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share #104 Posted November 11, 2017 Hello - swivel guns are all in place. The guns are replacement ones from Cornwall Model Boats. I unashamedly copied the idea of the brackets from Blue Ensign which consists of some eye hooks straightened and then bent into shape. Then dropped into a brass tube inserted into the upright stand. (Sorry, out of focus) Not sure the best way to arrange the cannons - either tidy or every each way..... Mind you they will probably end up every each way once starting on the rigging. Dan - Thanks for looking and your comments. Have taken note Thank you for all the 'Likes' - much appreciated. Thank you.

Dfell Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share #108 Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks Blue Ensign - sort of glad to get them done but it now means the rigging is next The plans look difficult to see precisely what is happening in regards to some of the rigging. I do have a question concerning the 'tusks' on the bow - they are shown on the rigging plans but no construction details. Am guessing they made with 2mm dowel or maybe 3mm and about 40mm in length? Thank you to those looking in the the 'likes'.

Blue Ensign Posted January 26, 2018 Share #109 Posted January 26, 2018 Those are the Boomkins Doug, used to spread the Fore tack. I took my dimensions from Steel and making them from 3mm dia dowel tapered down to 2mm. with a shoulder on the outer end to secure the Fore Tack shoulder Block. Outside of the False rail there is a downward curve in the spar, this was induced by firstly soaking and then curving over a suitable former. No need to be in a rush to fit the Boomkins, they just fit into holes in the face of the Foc'sle. The angle and position of the Boomkins depends to some extent by whether you fit seats of ease to the heads, and whether you fit a false rail which is notched to take the passage of the Boomkin. B.E.

Dfell Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share #111 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Hello - have just completed shrouds and ratlines. had realised that I had forgotten the supports under the quarter deck. There should be two - one in the middle and one on the end. At this late stage just put one on end as the other is not seen. Used pieces of balsa wood to help with the spacing between deadeyes. The futtock staves are attached to eyelets bent over to make a hook. The ratlines are natural thread dyed with diluted walnut stain and the spacing between is 5mm or at least meant to be. Felt I could have done better with the rigging - not completely happy with it. Anyway the main preventer stay I guess next. Thanks for looking in.

Dfell Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share #113 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Thank you Blue Ensign. The shrouds maybe not tight enough - odd wobble here and there.

Blue Ensign Posted April 11, 2018 Share #114 Posted April 11, 2018 Not really apparent on the photo's Doug A tip for the future, I don't tend to tie off the deadeye lanyards too soon in the build so that I can come back and tweak the shroud tension after I've completed the standing rigging but before I fit the ratlines. If it really is a bother you could re-do the deadeye lanyards or one cheat you can try for slack shrouds is to attach a line around the upper end beneath the tops, and bowse them in a little; but as you have fitted the futtocks this may slacken them off, requiring them to be re-done. Sometimes these things loom larger in the eye of the builder than the observer. B.E.

SkipW Posted July 5, 2018 Share #119 Posted July 5, 2018 Hi Doug - I'm just starting a Pegasus and was looking at your Fly blog - - were the balsa block you used in the bow and stern section part of the kit or something you added? Looks like a great idea for more glue area and smooth curvature. SkipW Martin W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfell Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share #120 Posted July 5, 2018 Hello SkipW - the balsa is not supplied as part of the build - it seems a things that a lot of builders on this site do as it does help with the tricky extreme curved sections. Good luck with your build - you will have have plenty of good examples for guide in your build especially Blue Ensign (I expect you have seen his Pegasus which probably inspired you to have a go) Regards Doug Martin W 1 Quote Completed: HM Brig Supply - JoKita / Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Fly - Caldercraft 1:64 HMS Sherborne - Caldercraft 1:64 HM Brig Flirt - Vanguard 1:64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
