cobra1951 Posted September 17, 2016 #1 Posted September 17, 2016 Think it's time to start a new build log As usual first thing is a homemade slipway to keep the keel straight Glue the two halves of the keel together There are two strengthening parts to fit to the joint but not yet Built the slipway first Keel without the strengthening parts fitted Keel now square to the slipway Cut a slot in the slipway to allow the strengthening pieces to be fitted foxy, clearway, Robin Lous and 8 others 11 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2

cobra1951 Posted September 18, 2016 Author #8 Posted September 18, 2016 I'll watch along if you don't mine, I like the Occre brand kits. Should be better instructions than the Panart..... Is that another Gun deck in the background ? Paul V Hi Paul welcome The instructions are far better than the Panart ones The gun deck in the background is an almost finished one of the two i built before, as i started the slipway for this build a while ago but i have only just started the log EJ_L and Elijah 2 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2

cobra1951 Posted September 18, 2016 Author #13 Posted September 18, 2016 Last part of the slipway build Placed the keel in the slot in the slipway and dry fitted the bulkheads Marked out where the bulkheads cross the slipway Removed keel and cut slots where the bulkhead markings where Replaced the keel and made sure bulkheads sat in the slots cut out for them Checked that the bulkheads were clear of the base of the slipway insuring that they sat all the way down in their slots Long winded way of doing it but by starting with two long strips and then cutting slots in them i know all the pieces are perfectly in line with each other (nothing like piece of mind before continuing) EJ_L, clearway, foxy and 6 others 9 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2

Dave R Thanks Dave Not too many goodies, in fact one little niggle about the kit is most of it is Lime wood and they tell you to paint it the colour of different woods I will take a nose through your log later to see how the kits differ Edited September 21, 2016 by Cobr@ DaveRow, Elijah and EJ_L 3 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2
cobra1951 Posted September 21, 2016 Author #21 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks for all the comments and likes, greatly appreciated All Bulkheads glued into place All seems to line up length ways too Used the straight edge on half the lower deck and marked it out for planking Lined up the other half of the deck against it by sticking them down together with double sided tape and then transfered the markings across Carefully removed the two halves from the double sided tape then laid a strip of planks along one edge then fitted and glued both halves to the keel and bulkheads When it's all dried, deck planking will begin Planks have been cut to 100mm in length and will be laid in a 5 butt system in a 13524 pattern Edited September 21, 2016 by Cobr@ EJ_L, cog, Seventynet and 7 others 10 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2

cobra1951 Posted September 23, 2016 Author #24 Posted September 23, 2016 The keel and bulkheads on this kit are only 4mm thick and after fitting the deck, the joints were a little bit flimsy, so i fitted some strengthening pieces to the joints Lower deck planked and cross beams for the next deck fitted There was no reason to plank this deck at all as none of it will be seen later, so i used some thinner planking and saved the kit supplied planking in case i need it later in the build riverboat, Captain Slog, canoe21 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

cobra1951 Posted September 23, 2016 Author #26 Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks Frank Had to use extra support because the bulkheads were still moving even with the deck in place and I wasn't going to take the chance of the joints moving once I start planking the hull cog, Elijah and EJ_L 3 Quote Bob Current Build HMB Endeavour - Occre 1:54 Completed Builds Section Deck Between Gun Bays - Panart 1:23 scale....x 2
