Dan Vadas Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share #95 Posted May 22, 2018 Thank you all . The Control Top is now fitted to the rest of the Bridge. I'll leave the whole assembly off the deck for now in case there are other things to fit to the deck first : Now I've moved on to the next assembly - the forward funnel. I've made the base for it, but before I continue there are 5 Rubber Boats to make. These mount on the base. Here are a sequence of pics showing them being assembled in a jig. I made this to hold the boats while gluing up the sides, as they are very "slippery customers" to hang onto. First pic is of the parts for 4 boats in various stages of preparation : The Holding Jig, made from card : The jig in use : The boats fitted to the base : Danny marktiedens, Tigersteve, druxey and 21 others 24 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

Dan Vadas Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share #99 Posted May 24, 2018 Once again I'd like to thank my followers for their kind comments . There is a fair bit of work to do inside the Funnels - Walkways and Railings from PE. In the pic below I've painted half of them matt black, as they are a bit more visible in primer : All painted : The funnel guard(?) is a bit flimsy before it's fixed in place. I used the back of a foam sanding pad to shape it with a toothpick : The guard (still in primer) CA glued in place : An angled rim covers the ends of the guard : The Forward Funnel is nearing completion. I've been simplifying the way I use the laser-cut framing - with experience I've nearly stopped adding extra card to them. Here the funnel is being skinned : And attached to the base I made earlier : Danny gjdale, cog, Landrotten Highlander and 19 others 22 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

Dan Vadas Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share #102 Posted May 27, 2018 Thanks lads . The forward funnel finished with all the pipework : The Aft Funnel has turned out a bit better than the forward one - nothing like a bit of practise to make improvements . I made a few small mistakes with the other one, which I've avoided with this one. Most noteworthy was the fit of the top flange - with this one I notched out for the PE guard : The internal railings also came out a bit better on this one : I also had the main seam on the wrong end with the first one. Luckily I did a reasonably good job of fitting it, so it won't be a major concern.

JerseyCity Frankie Posted June 5, 2018 Share #120 Posted June 5, 2018 Funnel walkways?! Ugh, I don’t want whatever job those walkways entail. I have to imagine it was solidly coated in inches of black soot. The interiors or upper surfaces of the funnels of large ships are not well documented and I would like to know more about them. I know that with steam powered ships their height is a factor of the physics of the rising column of hot air and steam and that forced draft funnels add complexity and machinery to the interior of the funnel. I would love to hear a lecture on the inner life of big ship funnels. Anyone know of any source material on the subject?
