yvesvidal Posted November 30, 2020 #121 Posted November 30, 2020 Nice cabin. I can see the next model....the FIFIE ! Yves Quote
Tim Moore Posted December 16, 2020 Author #122 Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks Yves, yes the Fifie is on deck, been doing some research into these class of boats just to settle on a colour scheme for it. Slight delay while I finished off a new coffee table for the living room...which is now done. I’ve decided to first do a Guillows 403 Spitfire model which my son had given it to me for my birthday last Christmas, for something different around the holidays. Think I built one of these about 50 years ago! Kit is slightly different now with all the frames beautifully laser cut as opposed to having to cut them out from a printed sheet. So fragile as compared to boat modeling material, will have to take care and not be too ham fisted with my work. Isn’t too complicated so shouldn’t take long. Just a display model to hang in here I think. Vaguely recall destroying the last one in a rubber power misadventure. Think I will upgrade it a bit - cover with balsa as opposed to tissue, and hope I can find some upgrades for a proper propeller and wheels etc.. if anybody has done this and happens to know a source for this please do pass on. yvesvidal, WalrusGuy, Cathead and 2 others 5 Quote Tim Moore Perfect is the enemy of good In progress DH.9a Ninak, 1/32, Wingnut Wings Docked for Repairs IJN Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa, 1:200, Hobby Boss On Deck The Blue Sky Company, 1:48, Sierra West Models Completed Triumph 3HW, 1/9, Italeri; Fiat 806 Grand Prix 1:12, Italeri; Fifie 1:32, Amati Victory Model; HMS Bounty 1:48, Artesania Latina; Endeavour 1:60; Corel; Miss Severn 1:8, Legend Model Boats; Calypso, Billing Boats; Carmen Fishing Trawler, A.L. ; Dallas Revenue Cutter, A.L., Bluenose, A.L.
yvesvidal Posted December 17, 2020 #123 Posted December 17, 2020 What a beautiful bench. I see that a Spitfire is about to be started.... Those Guillows kit can be very tricky. Yves Quote
Tim Moore Posted December 18, 2020 Author #124 Posted December 18, 2020 Thanks Yves...yes so fragile. Possibly insane but this is how I decided to cover the fuselage in order to retain the right proportions.....use the framework as a basic form and then fill with balsa I had left over from my Miss Severn. Seems like a lot of work but really after a thousand ratline knots on the Bounty it’s really nothing to write home about. My plan is to use a light skim of body filler over the lot and then lightly sand everything to a final form. I’d like to use this side project to hone my paint skills for my next boat model - maybe invest in an airbrush and all that paraphernalia if it is worth it - something Ive never tried and know nothing about.

Tim Moore Posted January 15, 2021 Author #125 Posted January 15, 2021 Back on the Bounty in the winter shipyard - just a few yards left to rig up then I can launch her and get started on a Moore presentation of Fifie which I’m keen to get going on. The new workshop is working great, really good light for working and good music setup in here. I really wonder how people without hobbies like ours are managing their sanity in this pandemic.

Tim Moore Posted January 18, 2021 Author #129 Posted January 18, 2021 The main yard on the Bounty is almost a model unto itself with all the fiddly attachments. Just about ready to hang from the mainmast now. Checking the parts list I am now at number 709 out of 856. Much of the remainder is running rigging for the sails, which I’m not sure yet I will install or not. Concerned it may look a little cluttered with them. I’ll perhaps install the first couple after I finish the yards and associated lines and see how I feel about it.

Tim Moore Posted January 19, 2021 Author #131 Posted January 19, 2021 Executing the concurrent installation of the parrel assembly, chains and loop rigging necessary to connect the main yard to the mast is a bit complicated.

Just the mizzenmast yards left to do. I’ll take some better pictures with the proper camera when I’m finished this stage. The rigging gets to be routine as you go along, except of course for all the previously installed ropes increasingly getting in the way of everything you’re trying to accomplish.

Tim Moore Posted January 26, 2021 Author #138 Posted January 26, 2021 First sail is up as a blizzard rages outside. Many thanks to Landlubber Mike I found his post from 2013 on furling sails very useful. I’ve rigged this one with all the blocks and lines in place so it looks like it could be hoisted. For a first go I don’t think it’s too bad. The gaffsail looks slightly problematic though I may have to get more creative there.

Tim Moore Posted January 26, 2021 Author #140 Posted January 26, 2021 Lyle: yes I’m just using the sails in the kit - thought about creating something thinner but after doing this first one I think these should work fine. I didn’t age them - They are a bit off white anyway and I want the contrast with the ship which in my version is mainly dark stained components. I’ll let you know if I change tack after doing a couple more of the larger ones.

Tim Moore Posted January 27, 2021 Author #141 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Fussy Gaffsail up. Rather than try to fathom how to make it look right, I decided not to overthink it and just rigged everything according to the book and then hoisted everything up to the head using the 6 brail lines I had attached to the leech of the sail. A bit of tightening and gathering up at the mast and this should be good to go.

At the stern post I expected the plank ends to butt right into it. However there is so much material from the stern keel stiffeners that you almost need to sand or file them completely out! How did you handle this particular area? Appreciate any advise!

Tim Moore Posted February 7, 2021 Author #148 Posted February 7, 2021 Hi Lyle - I do recall struggling with the lower part of the stern a bit to make a proper transition. I’m pretty sure I did most of the fairing, installed the stern post and keel, and then used my Dremel to pare down the structure further on the lower section abutting the stern post so that the face of planking could lay close to flush with the face of the post. Then I sanded it all flush after planking. There wasn’t a lot of backing timber left in that area.

Then I sanded it all flush after planking. There wasn’t a lot of backing timber left in that area. Thanks... was considering building up the stern post on both sides as an an alternative too. A 5x2mm walnut strip on both sides feathered toward the stern may work.

Tim Moore Posted February 7, 2021 Author #150 Posted February 7, 2021 That might be one way to do it, perhaps better than what I did. Might have to modify the inboard part of rudder pintles a bit if the stem is fatter but no big deal. dug these photos out of my record in case they are of any help, illustrates what mine looked like just before planking.
