Rossi46 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share #34 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) G'day Rossi, very, very nice build, and your first as well, she looks fabulous, I like he candle touch, look forward to the rest of the build, best regards John. PS my friend gave me one of those flickering LEDs to go in the furnace of my steam launch, but I hav'nt got round to setting it up yet, if it comes out as good as yours I will be well pleased. Hey neptune. Much appreciated, i will be refencing your build log extensively, especially for masts, rigging and sails. Very informative and quite intimidating lol. The flickering effect is great in person, and multiple lights in series all flicker independently. Quick question, is there a build log on the royal william, it dwarfs the Edited January 8, 2017 by Rossi46 mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi46 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share #37 Posted January 9, 2017 A bit more detail work. Most of the rough shaping is done with a dremel and then finished with files and sandpaper.

Rossi46 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share #43 Posted January 17, 2017 trying to balance time between a home improvement project and the boat, but managed to get some more of the detailing done and starting on the top deck cannons. I chose to use a loop and hook to connect the blocks to the inside of the boat, looks nice and I was having a heck of a time twisting the little metal loops around the block. Also, I came upon my first situation with missing parts. The brass posts for the railing were missing 4, so i repositioned what I did have and evenly spaced them. No problem. mtaylor, maddog33, billocrates and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi46 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share #46 Posted January 31, 2017 Hey guys, Have some more progress and pics to share (have to shrink them so they'll upload to site). I starting the masts as I'm working through some of the other tasks and I can't figure out those instructions for the life of me. IT shows an exploded view of the bottom part of the mast but not really how they all come together to form the mast as a whole. I can't even tell what stops the mid and upper mast from falling right through to the ship deck lol. Any resources or pics you guys could share to get me on track??

Rossi46 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share #47 Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks neptune. It does help. The instructions up to now couldnt be faulted really, but it does take some filling of the gaps for these masts. I think with some advice and research i have figured out enough to press on mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi46 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share #48 Posted February 1, 2017 Ive been steadily working away on the cannons and other details. I finished the rudder which turned out nice. The hinges worked out better than on the launch. I did those by securing the pin first and then adding the other parts. Then i started work on the mizzen mast. russ, Landlubber Mike, Jack12477 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi46 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share #50 Posted February 1, 2017 Oh and i did have a smallbissue. The corronade, i think that is ehat they are called... Snapped when i tried bending it.

Rossi46 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share #55 Posted February 2, 2017 Continuing on with the mizzen mast and attaching the lugs i believe they are called. I tapered the insides in order to have the pieces fit snug around the cylindrical mast. And the sanded it down.
