EJ_L Posted June 26, 2016 Share #151 Posted June 26, 2016 Those sacks do look great! I have just accepted that gluing myself to things with CA glue is just a part of the process. It is a step located somewhere between sanding and installation. Hahaha! slow2cool, Canute, cobra1951 and 2 others 5 Quote "A Smooth Sea NEVER made a Skilled Sailor" - John George Hermanson -E.J.

cobra1951 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share #153 Posted June 26, 2016 Hi Don thanks Not far to go now. Still have some wooden bowls to make and hammocks that are suspended between the overhead beams and some Cannon tools and the cannon ball racks to fit to the decks then i can do the upper deck, but not too much to do on that as show in the box picture in post #1 ndeconte, EJ_L, cog and 3 others 6 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mike Once you start it double check all measurement as the book and the plans give different ones for the same parts, and on some parts no measurements at all, the table and benches for example no measurements at all Edited July 2, 2016 by Cobr@ slow2cool, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra1951 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share #157 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Nice work Bob. nearly there The rest apart from the bowls ( which are the hardest due to size) is really easy. I found that gluing the 4 edges of hammocks with PVA glue and then soaking them with a 50-50 pva solution stiffens them up nicely to work with. The size for the hammocks as specified in the plans are correct in this instance. Thanks Paul Not having too much trouble with the tubs and bowls, mainly because i didn't use the Balsa as the main support pillar i changed to a more rigid wood made it a lot easier. Thanks for the heads up on the hammock sizes. Don't want mine stiff i want them to hang naturally with a slight curve in them. Also i am going to fit them lower than recommended as the recommended place would have the poor sailor trying to sleep with the gun port lid rigging across his chest and a massive block smacking him in the head And as this kit is only a representation and nowhere near accurate i have also altered the size and placement of the cannon ball racks, this allowed me to center the Bits with the gratings and fit regular sized planks not small filler ones as the instructions say Edited July 2, 2016 by Cobr@ EJ_L, Canute, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Antony The sacks are one of the easier thing to make once you get your head around what the drawings are meant to be depicting After looking at them for a while i didn't like the knots in the outer sacks so i removed and retied them, they look a lot better now cog, mtaylor, cristikc and 9 others 12 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra1951 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share #159 Posted July 6, 2016 Made up some of the tools and the baskets. The parts in the instructions to make the 4th tool were not in either kit which makes me think the instructions are not correct again substituted some walnut dowel for one tool instead of cloth Made the 4th tool from other parts and fitted all tools to the racks, and placed the baskets on the table to fill it a bit.

Thanks EJ They got harder as the sizes of the tubs, buckets and baskets decreased, until i substituted the Balsa main support in the middle for a more sturdy wood, then it was more repetitive than hard, but that's because i was making 2 sets of everything mtaylor, WackoWolf, EJ_L and 2 others 5 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra1951 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share #170 Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks Paul Yep they do get a bit fiddly at that size so i reduced the size of the cord around them to 0.5mm which worked much better with the smaller bowls.

mikiek Posted July 7, 2016 Share #173 Posted July 7, 2016 Go for it, you can't have too many builds, it's impossible many builds = many workbenches I have one of those but not the other. But seriously, my dad has been laid up for over a month now with no end in sight. I have considered taking a kit to his place and doing it with him. This might be a good candidate, especially because of the larger sized parts. Of course that means hauling my tools over there. Has the build required any odd tools or supplies? Just the usual stuff - cutting, gluing sanding? Any need for power tools or soldering? EJ_L, Canute, WackoWolf and 1 other 4 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

cobra1951 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share #174 Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Mike A pretty straight forward build you don't need to use power tools if you don't want to.
