Old Collingwood Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share #211 Posted November 12, 2018 I have come up with a plan - with the canons breach ropes, I think I could get away with drilling through the sidewalls, then tying a knot in the breach rope and pushing the end through the hole in the wall, this way the knot will obscure the apperance of the hoops that would have been there on the real ship. Think its a plan. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share #212 Posted November 12, 2018 Evening all - more work getting done - its a busy life as a pirate "ay mate - weres me rum" so next step is to build and fit the two canons closest to the cabin bulkhead, reason for these two port and larboard first - is so I can then fit the staircases that route down over the top of them. Each canon assembly is built up from the two sides/bottom/barrel and the wheel blocks, I assembled the assemblies and painted them - minus the wheel blocks that still need to be fitted and painted. Here are two pics showing the work on these two so far.

Old Collingwood Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share #213 Posted November 13, 2018 Hi there all, more progress today with the first two canons, I attached the wheel units, then found the correct size breeching rope (looks ok in scale) I attached it to the end of the barrel and applied a small amount of pva, then I drilled through the side walls roughly the same thickness as the breech rope, I then rubbed some pva into the ends of the rope to stiffen it, then to seat the canon to the deck - I cut and glued a small piece of wood from decking stock, it was then just a case of passing the rope ends through the holes in side walls - and glued the canons down. When set I will make the rope sag a bit more then dribble a bit of watered pva into the holes. OC.

They were from a different film from what I have molded her on lou, Im building her according to how she was in the second film released. In the first film she looked quite different as she did in the third and forth film, she had slightly different feactures including a skeleton metal figurehead and I think the red band around her waist. What I might do is go over her with a cake burner like they use for burning the top of lemon meringue pies.............Only Joking. OC.

lmagna Posted November 16, 2018 Share #230 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) That doesn't look much like the kit either! Don't the kit manufactures have ANY respect for "Scale"? But if you blow up the picture you can see that the gundeck band has a slightly red/black color compared to the hull above and below. That being the case I would think you could do what you want.

Tell her that she needs to start feeling better so that she can start making little curtains and stuff! She has not had diabetes for long so the hypo was unknown ground for both of us, very scary and worrying, and having no medication for her to fall back on was not good. Its a combination of factors at the moment taht dont help - the cold she suffers from/she needs the warmth, but she also needs the right foods, both not very easy to obtain - especially not both.
