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.

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.

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.

Hi B.E.

Yes, the assembly of the carronades was the hell with all those tiny etched parts. Fortunately Pickle have only six of them. ;)

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

 

post-443-0-99021600-1395579107_thumb.jpg

 

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.

post-443-0-72044900-1395579153_thumb.jpg

 

In the next step I've glued the two parts of the yoke together and glued then to the side of the pump casings.

 

post-443-0-27168800-1395579173_thumb.jpg

 

The rest of the assembly was quite easy.

Only a minor update for today.

 

I've glued the elm tree pumps into place and fixed the anchor to the anchor cable.

 

post-443-0-82954000-1395579305_thumb.jpg

 

Well, it wasn't even a good idea to paint the casing and the outlet black... :huh:

 

 

The anchor will be stowed later

And at last a total view as of July 27.

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.

Hi Richard:

 

Leaving them natural might have made a nice contrast, but I still think these look really good. After all is said and done you will admire the ship overall. Great work here

I see your results are very good. Everytime I wanted to paint the metal parts with a paint, it was always removing when touched. Regards, Paweł

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.

Cheers, Richard.

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.

 

post-443-0-25897800-1375808377_thumb.jpg

Here are the tapered parts. The two holes in the bowsprit cap have to be drilled in.

 

post-443-0-86389500-1375808406_thumb.jpg

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. B)

Assembly of the masts.

The two parts of the lower masts. The lower parts are 6mm dowels and the upper parts are 4x4mm walnut.

 

post-443-0-02439500-1376126430_thumb.jpg


Fore top and main top are fitted. The top must sit parallel to the waterline when the masts are fitted into locating holes.

 

post-443-0-27804300-1376126458_thumb.jpg


And the same procedure with the topmasts.  This time the lower parts have to be sanded to an octagon.

Ready for painting.
