GrandpaPhil Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share #451 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I’m glad that you liked the cannons! Thank you very much. Daliab, you will most likely see a very close twin of the keel clamp when I build my next ship. Thank you very much. I am making eyebolts and putting them on the breech of Victory’s guns. My method for making them is simple because of where they are going. I just make a curly Q and cut then off. For an eyebolt anywhere else, I do the same and bend the loop back to make the traditional eyebolt shape. They are a bit large for the scale, but that cannot be helped due to the wire I have and the scale to of the model.

Annealed wire is pretty tough so I imagine it will keep its shape. The little cannons are great. I am just a newbie but I enjoy watching these kinds of thngs.

GrandpaPhil Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share #454 Posted February 22, 2020 I’m pre-tying rigging blocks to eyebolts to make installing easier. I need to make 72 of them. These are Tichy HO scale eyebolts with 3mm double blocks from Model Shipways. For those having difficulty with rigging thread fuzzing out, I use a block of beeswax to prevent this.

Henke Posted February 23, 2020 Share #459 Posted February 23, 2020 I have to ask a question (Grandpa)Phil. Have the cannons been dry brushed with white or silver to give them a more vivid appearance?

GrandpaPhil Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share #460 Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Yes, white. I used a faux metallic technique with two shades of gray and finished by highlighting with white.

GrandpaPhil Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share #464 Posted February 24, 2020 Thank you both for the comments! Thank you everyone for all the likes! All guns now have eyebolts, complete with double blocks. They are complete. It is now time to resume work on the ship herself. I drilled all holes for the eyebolts yesterday. I am doing the same thing by preattaching blocks to eyebolts prior to installation. The eyebolts for the breech ropes will be made from that annealed wire. The eyebolts located beneath the quarterdeck and spar deck will have their breech ropes pre-tied to them.
