Emmet Posted January 2, 2020 #361 Posted January 2, 2020 It will be some time before I get to doing these things but I enjoy seeing how you guys do your work. keep it up and have a great year. GrandpaPhil 1
FriedClams Posted January 3, 2020 #362 Posted January 3, 2020 Hello Phil, I've been following along on your build and it's coming along very nicely indeed. Your painting of the grenadier is top notch - the coloring is perfectly subtle and subdued, and the shading is spot on. I wish you continued success.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 4, 2020 Author #366 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I made and installed both of the anchor palm blocks. They were carved from 1/4” basswood sheets. At this point, the majority of the hull fittings are done. I need to clean them up a bit, and then I’ll touch up the paint down the sides. I still have some boat davits to make, but I will make those when I make the railings, the hammock netting and the boomkins, netting and anchors up by the head. The head is mostly done (except for what I just mentioned). The stern is mostly done (except for the boat davits). Next up will be the upper gun deck.

Emmet Posted January 4, 2020 #368 Posted January 4, 2020 Seems silly but I have looked everywhere trying to find a way to add a second page to my log. Does it just happen after adding a zillion pics or is there a way.

You probably want to post these type of site questions here though: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/47-questionsinstructions-on-how-to-use-and-post-to-this-forumsite-problems-or-suggestions/ so they aren’t buried in a build log.

Hi Phil, What a great idea, l never thought of that, l shall get one of those for myself. Great work on the Victory. Best wishes as always, The Lazy Saint. Old Collingwood, VTHokiEE and GrandpaPhil 3
GrandpaPhil Posted January 4, 2020 Author #371 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) It’s a useful tool. I found out about them on this forum (I don’t remember who had it). It’s perfect for anything that has to be fitted to the hull. I also intend to use it to make the cradles for the ship’s boats.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 4, 2020 Author #376 Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Thank you, everyone, for all the likes and the comments! I painted the starboard side. I’m happy with it.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 5, 2020 Author #378 Posted January 5, 2020 I’m starting on the cannons. I had a blast making them on the Prince de Neufchatel, so I’m making the rest of them for Victory (plus I liked mine better).

GrandpaPhil Posted January 5, 2020 Author #383 Posted January 5, 2020 I’m glad you guys liked them. I made three today over the course of an hour and a half. Once I sand them all, they should turn out like the last set (I think those turned out well). Although, at 1:98, they are much smaller than last time.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 6, 2020 Author #384 Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I made my fourth cannon. It’s actually the fifth, but I threw one away because I used a dull blade on it and it split out on me, beyond what I can repair. I put a scale next to them. I integrated the cascabels into these, unlike last time, where I glued a seed bead onto the back end of the cannons. Quick note: I am using a scalpel to carve dowel rods. These are not turned.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 9, 2020 Author #385 Posted January 9, 2020 I made a mistake tonight. I cut my fifth 12 lb long gun too short. So, it is being made into one of two bow chasers (a medium length 12 lb gun).
