The Sailor Posted June 20, 2013 Author #35 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Hi all, the windlass is finished. The assembly was quite easy. In fact there were no problems at all. The kit provides a bunch of octagons to be assembled to the windlass barrel. The glued and sanded parts: A last test... ...and the finished windlass At last I would like to show you an overall view of the model with all the parts on deck. The parts are not glued yet.

The Sailor Posted July 12, 2013 Author #41 Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Thank you all for your nice comments. I was very busy in my garden the last few weeks, so there was not much time for building. I just finished the guns, the capping rails and the ships name at the stern fascia. The sliding beds and carriages are painted red to hide the plywood. In one of the next steps I'll add the gun tackles. The 'PICKLE' text should be painted white but I think it looks better when it's painted yellow ochre.

Blue Ensign Posted July 13, 2013 #42 Posted July 13, 2013 Neat job on those bijou carronades Richard I bet you're glad that bits over.

The Sailor Posted July 23, 2013 Author #49 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Hi all, the next part of the deck fittings is done: the elm tree pumps. The assembly was quite time-consuming. The first image shows all the parts of the pumps Referred to the instruction the outlet should be just glued to the casing and nothing else. I decided to fit the parts into each other. I also drilled a little hole into the outlet. In the next step I've glued the two parts of the yoke together and glued then to the side of the pump casings. The rest of the assembly was quite easy.

Well, it wasn't even a good idea to paint the casing and the outlet black... The anchor will be stowed later And at last a total view as of July 27.

shark bait Posted July 28, 2013 #53 Posted July 28, 2013 Hi Richard, Sometimes a minor update is all we can do. Great work on the anchor and pump. What other color do you think you should have used on the pumps? Just curious, as I might have used black as well.

hamilton Posted August 5, 2013 #55 Posted August 5, 2013 Hi Richard: Leaving them natural might have made a nice contrast, but I still think these look really good.

The Sailor Posted August 5, 2013 Author #57 Posted August 5, 2013 Hi guys, thanks for your nice words. Hamilton, you are right the best result is leaving them natural. But then I should have used a better wood like pear or something else. Pawel, that's a problem when painting etched parts. The next time i'll use a blackener.

The Sailor Posted August 6, 2013 Author #58 Posted August 6, 2013 Time for bowsprit and mast assembly. I‘ve just finished the bowsprit. For tapering all the masts, yards and booms I‘ll use my Proxxon lathe. Here are the tapered parts. The two holes in the bowsprit cap have to be drilled in. And here is the assembled bowsprit with all the fittings. The bowsprit and jib-boom should be stained walnut, but I like this colouring more. Well, it's just a matter of taste. egkb, SkerryAmp and hamilton 3 Quote Cheers, Richard. ------------------------------Current build: Mercury, Russian brig, America's Cup Yacht Endeavour (1934), AmatiCompleted build: HM Schooner Pickle, JoTiKaNext:

The Sailor Posted August 10, 2013 Author #60 Posted August 10, 2013 Assembly of the masts.The two parts of the lower masts. The lower parts are 6mm dowels and the upper parts are 4x4mm walnut. Fore top and main top are fitted. The top must sit parallel to the waterline when the masts are fitted into locating holes. And the same procedure with the topmasts. This time the lower parts have to be sanded to an octagon. Ready for painting.
