Once the barrels were lashed down then a cargo net was fitted over them

Once the ladder has been built and then dry fitted i will add some sacks in the remaining spare spaces

                     All the cargo is already glued in place, i had to do it before the middle deck is put in place as i needed to have access from above to drill the holes and fit the eye bolts. It should all stay in place as i used Araldite to glue everything except the sails. The netting is for 1/16th scale tanks but if you stretch it a bit it works well on this kit. It was obtained from eBay.co.uk  from a seller named great-sales247 but they have withdrawn the listing probably because it's out of stock.

They have a page on the US eBay site but it's only listing the chains and rope as well. It might be worth contacting the seller to see if he's getting more http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-16-Scale-CHAINS-ROPE-for-Rc-Heng-Long-Tamiya-Tanks-Vehicles-Diorama-/181976659687?var=&hash=item2a5ea776e7:m:m3ZAsGanxwwqtEurUzG-lbw

I had to do the same with my Captains Dining Cabin furniture.  No way I could glue it in after the main deck went on.  I actually used pins and epoxy to hold the furniture in...so far so good  :)

 

I have the cabin sealed shut with masking tape and used plastic wrap to cover the hammocks.

 

I can't believe the amount of dust generated by all the sanding required on the frames and planking.

 

Again, really nice details you put in the model as well as excellent placement :)

Ohhh yes lots of dust to come lol.

Having stuff glued to the decks also makes it slow going when it comes to the hull planking as you have to be so careful :huh:

I've also ordered some tables and benches to make a galley in the bow section of the middle deck rather than just have the stove there on it's own

I will post a photo once i get them

very nice Bob,

 

the food storage containments, sacks, casings, barrels, etc. are lovely, good job on the interior... :)

... little rats, mice,... on the sacks

Bob,

 

I came accross these...., looks like this is a webshop..

http://www.fuhrmann-figuren-shop.de/KF-ANI-72001-Ratten

 

10 little rats cast in tin, in all positions. The man-figure does not belong to the group, for comparing size only.

trust the price is nice and low, so there would be no risk...

 Hi Nils

             Thanks for taking the time to help me with my rats :D  I had seen these and i am thinking about getting them. As you say they are cheap so no risk. The only downside is they are 1/72 scale and will probably look like mice not rats on a 1/48 kit. If i get them i will claim they are dwarf rats lol :D

Really nice details...where did you pick up the netting...the same place that you gave us the link to?

 

Hi Boyd

               Are you still after some netting ? if you are there is a load of 1/35 camouflage netting on the US ebay site with free international postage

The barrels are available here http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/caldercraft_barrels.html

As barrels come in a wide range of sizes in real life, scale is not critical so i just got ones that fitted in with the surroundings i was using them in

Posted (edited)

While sorting out some more cargo for the forward hold i placed a few of the rats i bought around the holds and chewed up one of the metal sacks like it had been chewed by a rat. I will add more once i have finished with the cargo and also place some around the middle deck

Cobr@,

I think you need to put the rats on food-rations, they seem to be wellfed, considering their size and soon there won't be any food left for the crew.

Unless as you stated, maybe feeding them to the crew.

I like the setup with the cargo.

Nice build.

Hi Nirvana thanks

Thanks Nils

                    Finding rats was a hard job until you found me some, thanks again for that

They were the hardest part of the build so far. I mean you try getting them to stay still until the glue sets :D
