Jim Lad Posted June 4, 2014 Share #1141 Posted June 4, 2014 Great stuff, Piet - she's really coming together. Brian, if you think you'd like to build a submarine, why not think about AE1 or AE2 - seems an appropriate time for a model of one of them. John Piet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share #1142 Posted June 4, 2014 Hello John and thanks for your compliments. It would indeed be a great tribute to the crew of the AE1 to build a model of her. When it turns out to be a good model, as I'm sure Brian can accomplish, the model could be placed on permanent "loan" to the Australian Royal Navy museum. Thank you Mark for dropping by and your like, it's much appreciated. Cheers, Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Piet Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share #1147 Posted June 5, 2014 Thank all of you for visiting and clicking the like button, I am honored. @ Mark, thank you but what do you mean "Engraving Remco's name on both of them"? There are six of them 6 mm buggers and it wouldn't be right to not do all of them But - - - I refuse to do the 3 mm pulleys @ Remco, yeah, actually it started out that way, pulling your leg that is. But after I tried it on my wooden prototype I figured why not give it it a try. I have ordered a small electric hand tool like EdT is using. That should give me some good control, perhaps better then a snake attachment. I hope that my hands are steady enough. Well, it's I who is grateful for all your help and this is the least I can do to show my gratitude. @ Pete48, thank you as well and what a fine looking model you are crafting, just lovely. @ Popeye, thank you !!!!

Piet Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share #1151 Posted June 6, 2014 Hello again every one and thanks for visiting and your like votes. The mine saga is close to coming to an end, hurray I cemented most all of the hardware on with two part epoxy and started cleaning it up. I also cemented the tracks in the mine tube on the sub. There is still adjustments to be made to make them slide down into the bin but that'll have to wait till the weekend. I also made 10 of the 3 mm pulleys, another hurray! I managed to snap one drill bit though, a # 68. No matter how slow I fed the drill this brass is tough and the drill snagged enough to make it fgo beyond it's design limits . I'll just blame it on junky Chinese drills I got the broken part out after I made two pulleys. Sooooh I sharpened the broken drill bit by hand and eye with a diamond file and it worked okay for the rest of the pulleys - - - being extra careful. I tried fitting one of the mines in the bin and it would only go half way in so I need to file the fake "roller guides" some more. Once I get them to slide in nice and easy they'll be painted a dark grey to offset them with the rest of the boat. Well, this is it for today. A few pics below for my archive and your viewing pleasure. I cut a strip of plastic that fits snug between the two U channel tracks inside the mine bin. I think they are close to 180 degrees to each other. I'll have to adjust the mine sliders to make them fit. I used two part epoxy cement. This shows two mines - now with all the hardware on them except for the arming switch which will be done after the mines fit. This shows all ten of the 3 mm pulleys. As yuns can see I made the pulley pin holes rather small and had the reduce the diameter of the brass nails I am using for them. I believe this is closer to scale then using those 1 mm nails. These are 0.4 mm in diameter. Cheers, Elmer Cornish, SawdustDave, mtaylor and 8 others 11 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Piet Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share #1156 Posted June 7, 2014 First of all my thanks to all who visited and your likes, much appreciated. Continued today with dressing the mines and fitting them in the bin. It's a tight fit but I can move them in and out okay. After I was happy with that task working out okay I added the arming switches to the sinkers. The trigger cords still need to be finished but that'll be done Sunday and then I can paint them and call it done It was a short day for me because I first had to go to the DIY store and buy a new lawn sprinkler head and after lunch I decided to make dinner. Ran down to the local green grocer and bought nice root veggies and organically grown tomatoes. Then off to the butcher and got me a nice chunk of beef. I planned making a Belgian style beef stew with a good dark Belgian beer - yummo!!! Gwen was happy she didn't have to cook ad it came out just great. Okay, I did make a few pics of one mine inside its bin but they are still not painted. This shows one of the mines fitted inside its bin. Another angle of the mine inside its bin, you can also see part of the arming cable. The other end is hooked to the side of the bin and as the mine is dropped down it pulls the switch lever that arms the system. Rather ingenious.

Piet Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share #1164 Posted June 8, 2014 Hello everyone and thanks for visiting and your likes. @ John (Lad), thank you John, Yes, she's going to be something alright, much more then I originally intended. @ Remco, never fear buddy, that's why I made two. Besides, the one that's inside the bin can be pulled out for demo purposes. I should have made the mine bin closer to the torpedo loading gantry so I can actually hang one on the tackle, but then again they were not used for loading mines. The second mine will be placed on the final display board with a torpedo or two. @ Michael, as a followup to Remco's question, no, I am not able to actually demo the loading of a mine - - - except if I make a dock-side crane for that purpose No, really, I'm already adding much more in details then originally planned. Actually, they did have a torpedo loading dolly with a lifting boom that ran on the rails I put on the deck - - - no, I'm not going to make that dolly @ Wacko Joe, good hearing from you and thanks for your compliments. Well, you know me, I take pictures whenever I have done something, they are for my own archive as well. @ Pete, thank you too for your compliments, always nice to have all yuns in my dockyard. @ Pat, good having you here and thanks for your compliments as well.

Piet Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share #1165 Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks everyone for dropping by and your likes, it's really much appreciated. Well, the mines are finally finished and painted. Yuns are probably sick and tired of hearing about and seeing these buggers, well, so am I On to other things now such as completing the torpedo loading gantries and dingy boom. I managed to engrave remco's name in the 6 mm pulleys and his initials on a few of the 3 mm pulleys, really! Some of them were not as good as most but it's the idea that counts. I blackened the pulleys and some other hardware and painted all the pulley brackets licht grey and started to assemble the pulleys into them. I also cemented both the forward and aft gantries to the deck. Now it's just a matter of mating all the parts and pieces to where they are suppose to go. This has been a very successful day and expect to have the gantries up and running in the next few days. Here are a few pics to show today's progress on the mines and the pulley engravings. No sense showing all the hardware because they haven't changed a bit from previous pics, only now they are painted. I'll show it when the gantries are fully operational. Here are the 6 mm pulleys with Remco's name engraved on them and only 2 of the 3 mm pulleys with his initials, which are hard to see under the glare but they are there. Unfortunately they are all very hard to see after I blackened them, but rest assured that they are engraved. I have loaded one mine in the bin and placed the other on the deck for show. You can now also see the arming cable. I thought to paint the fuse tips red for "danger." Here is another view of the mines.
