Remcohe Posted November 2, 2015 Author #964 Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks for all the kind comments and likes. I forgot to add the pictures I made before the pump well was installed. This is the pump intake that is now tucked away deep inside the hull, unfortunately 90% is invisible now. The last picture is the main mastpartner with the brass bolts positioned but not yet secured and blackened. As a side note, the fabrication of bolts was refined over time, I used to make the dome shape of the bolt head with a cup burr. Later I discovered that when I cut the brass rod with a sharp knife one end is dome shaped and one is flat. I use this to my advantage now. Still every bolt is scored to give it a little grip inside the predrilled hole. If there is intrest I can make little how-to for the thousands of bolts that are used in this build.

druxey Posted November 2, 2015 #965 Posted November 2, 2015 90% hidden? Yes, but you - and we - know that it's there! Lovely forelocked bolt and square nuts on that intake. michael mott, Remcohe, Dubz and 5 others 8 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Dan Vadas Posted November 2, 2015 #966 Posted November 2, 2015 Hidden - but very necessary. The intakes ensure that the pump tubes are correctly positioned in the cutouts. A slight miscalculation here can end in grief further up the track with a misalignment of the tubes. Well done. BTW - you've just reminded me that I need another PE card for my Cross-section of Vulture .

Remcohe Posted November 2, 2015 Author #970 Posted November 2, 2015 Ok here we go. When cutting a brass rod with a sharp knife a burr is created, I use this both to my advantage and at one point it needs to be removed (otherwise you'll have trouble inserting the bolt in the predrilled hole. Here are the steps involved: 1. This is the rod after the last bolt was cut 2. The burr is removed using a small steel ruler 3. A new diagonal burr is created to have the bolt firmly set in the predrilled hole ( I use bot 0,5 mm brass rod and a 0,5 mm steel drill to drill the holes, without the diagonal burr the fit is a bit loose) 4. Cutting off the bolt creates a burr this is the dome of the bolt Tools needed (I won't cover the use of Liver of Sulphur which I use to blacken the bolts after they are in place): Step 1 This is the rod after the last bolt was cut Step 2 The burr is removed using a small steel ruler Step 3 A new diagonal burr is created by rolling a sharp blade overt he rod to have the bolt firmly set in the predrilled hole Step 4 Cutting off the bolt creates a burr this is the dome of the bolt I use a brass rod with a small hole in the point to push the bolt into place leaving the dome of the bolt proud to the surface. When the are all done I treat them with liver of sulphur to blacken them. The end result (it's hard to capture but each bolt has a nice subtle dome): Remco ggrieco, Dubz, tlevine and 36 others 39 Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Remcohe Posted November 15, 2015 Author #978 Posted November 15, 2015 I made an error in the building sequence and I should have installed the main mastpartner earlier. Now I got a bit into trouble getting it in at this stage. I had to take a shortcut and omitted half lapping the carlings under the deck beam. After the gratings are installed this won't be visible, but I'm confessing this error anyway :-) Getting the pump tubes right was a bit of trial and error but after not to much work they were in place without to much hassle, I guess I was lucky today. I added iron bands at the end of the tubes from thin paper.

amateur Posted November 16, 2015 #983 Posted November 16, 2015 Hi Remco, Although you didn't cover the use of the LOS, I have a question: where do you get the stuff? I did try to find it, but succeeded in finding european providers selling it in huge (and I mean huge) quantities, or US-providers charing quite "interesting" postage-costs. Probably, I looked in the wrong direction.... Jan mtaylor and Piet 2

Remcohe Posted November 16, 2015 Author #986 Posted November 16, 2015 Jan, I don't remember where I got it. I probably bit the bullet regarding the shipping costs.

Remcohe Posted December 1, 2015 Author #989 Posted December 1, 2015 And now for something completely different. I took a break from the tedious deck work, intrigued by Garus' steering wheel on his excellent Victory and especially his duplicating device, I build the steering wheel. Using the technique described in TFFM 2 and 3. Not easy but lots of fun, frustration and multiple redo's later, the results: Remco ScottRC, gjdale, Vivian Galad and 45 others 48 Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.
