Canute Posted January 22, 2019 #272 Posted January 22, 2019 Greg, did you have issues getting the torpedo net drilling template to lay out on the hull? I plan to cut it out of the instruction sheet and tape it onto the hull. Glad I have that little Ryobi drill and chuck for all the holes. The drill turns slow enough that I had no issues with plastic gumming up the drill flutes. mtaylor, Old Collingwood, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
RGL Posted January 22, 2019 Author #273 Posted January 22, 2019 I photocopied a few sets of the plan (inA3), then cut them as a strip. Makes it easier to align. The starboard side is actually different to the plans. Not that easy but it HAS to be in a strait line for the nets to sit flush and aligned (if you deploy them). mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Piet and 2 others 5 Quote Greg

RGL Posted January 26, 2019 Author #277 Posted January 26, 2019 Every boom arm has 2 pulleys where a line runs from the base of the net along the arm up to a pully on the side of the ship, then to a pulley lashed to a rope, then to a cleat on the deck. Then there are about 60 brailing davits where the line runs from the nets to the hull to the same set of pulleys lashed to the cleats. The photo shows these davits. mtaylor, Canute, Piet and 5 others 8 Quote Greg

RGL Posted January 27, 2019 Author #280 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) 2 photos, one of the Seydlitz without her torpedo net. The next is of Von Der Tann’s forcastle. The reason is to show the pulleys and lines that pull it the torpedo net booms. These need to be added to the kit.

RGL Posted January 29, 2019 Author #285 Posted January 29, 2019 Now, the photo is post 280 is followed by this one that sits on the starboard side, showing how the rails were dropped before battle. The amount of ropes on deck is amazing, being the tackle and lines for the nets. I then added 2 pulleys to each boom apart from the front one which will be rigged slightly differently. popeye the sailor, Beef Wellington, JohnB40 and 8 others 11 Quote Greg

RGL Posted February 1, 2019 Author #288 Posted February 1, 2019 Slow progress. I ran a line of rings along both sides of the deck than ran some waxed rigging line. This line was used (I believe) with lashed pulleys to both draw lines from the brailing davits and also when lifted up for coaling. schooner, Jack12477, JohnB40 and 9 others 12 Quote Greg

RGL Posted February 3, 2019 Author #295 Posted February 3, 2019 That’s the way they were lashed to the deck, and the plans have it that way. I believe when not in use the arms were lowered to the deck. There is a photo of it in the log somewhere. Piet, mtaylor, Jack12477 and 3 others 6 Quote Greg
