Old Collingwood Posted January 31, 2019 Author #481 Posted January 31, 2019 2 hours ago, GrandpaPhil said: If you are using real deadeyes, then I would fix the channels to the hull with steel pins to reinforce them in order to better take the stress of rigging. The lower linkage arms below the channels are plastic, they have a ball end that glues into a small hole in the hull, I would hope that these joins being plastic to plastic using poly cement - will bond well and give enough strength (there is no room to pin them you see). The deadeyes will have to attached in a manor I haven't worked out yet - as the push in plastic devices along the edges of the channels are designed for ball and socket type ends of the (kit pre molded all in one shrouds) but I am going to make my own using threads and wood deadeyes that I also have. Nothing like a challenge. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 31, 2019 Author #482 Posted January 31, 2019 This is how I could possibly attach the deadeyes to the links on the channels - I could drill through the plastic linkages then attach the deadeyes with thick-ish thread around the outer of the deadeyes and through the drilled out linkages - I could then tie them and add some glue to the thread to give it some strength.

EJ_L Posted January 31, 2019 #483 Posted January 31, 2019 The ball end of the links should be strong enough when glued. The plastic ships I have built used this same method and have held strong during rigging and in the many years since. That is an interesting configuration for the deadeyes. I think what you have drawn is probably the best way to attach them. It will be a pain drilling all the holes but I think the results will be worth it.

mtaylor Posted January 31, 2019 #485 Posted January 31, 2019 If the channels are painted or the hull area where they fit is painted, scrap some of the paint off so you get a good bond. Othewise the glue will stick to the paint and it doesn't take much pressure to pull off the channel and take a large chunk of paint with it. Don't ask how I know....

Old Collingwood Posted January 31, 2019 Author #487 Posted January 31, 2019 Evening all, thank you for all the feedback and likes. Right then straight in with it - I put two of my wood deadeyes next to the channel linkages and messed around with different joining methods, I decided not to drill through or use a rope/thread - I decided to file the linkages a bit, then I glued the deadeyes to the linkage using strong super glue, after they had set I applied more glue around the base of the deadeyes to strengthen them. I put the assembly aside to set then I applied a couple of coats of paint - then once dry it was glued to the hull - making sure the support struts linked up with the holes in the hull. Here is the result minus weathering - OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 31, 2019 Author #490 Posted January 31, 2019 While on a run - I decided to have a go at the bowsprit and creating and fitting a bobstay and tackle, in the kit there is an assortment of tackle devices in plastic but nicely formed, first off I drilled through the beakhead then secured some thread through it - to this I attached one of the tackle pieces by a simple knot and touch of glue, I did the same to the end of the bowsprit, then I ran a length of thread through the tackles to form a link and glued the end with a small knot. After I touched up with some black/grey just needs weathering. Two more pics - OC.

Regards Paul To be honest paul just getting them glued down was a real pig - I tried the best I could to get them the right way up, I firstly had to to try to file a small flat spot under each deadeye to aid gluing them down with no other securing what so ever, the way I look at it even if the ropes between the channel / shroud deadeyes are a bit wavy navy - they will be better than the all in one cast plastic shroud/deadeys assemblies - kind of a better move even if a bit less precise than pure wood kits with deadeye chainplates and etc. OC. pontiachedmark, paulsutcliffe, lmagna and 6 others 9 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.
