worked on the swivel guns

started with some rolled paper...added some pva to hold the tube together and added bent wire to represent the stock

IMG_9970.JPG.541577ae9a2d617880b9de850de918e1.JPG

tied on some light line to represent the strengthening rings and added them to the prepared stanchions 

IMG_9972.JPG.042ffc8ebb107c67062fab3b6a763665.JPG

and added paint

today's update...

mounted the swivel guns

IMG_9976.JPG.ad9cdae85b60f52665977c6e74a9b960.JPG

the bits of tape you see in the photos are holding the outside edge of each respective chain plate in position so they don]t get mixed up until I can get them mounted...probably next week

 

I decided to mount the main guns...I originally rigged them with blocks but the smallest I had was 2 mm which looked way out of scale, so I stripped then off and just went with the run out tackle and holding lines, may add a few dark spots to simulate blocks...not sure yet

 

rope coils for gun tackle

An update of sorts...I'll be away from the table for a week or so, home for fathers day an our anniversary.

 

   It wasn't till I posted the pic below in the last update that I noticed the sacrificial anchor rub boards (not sure of the exact nomenclature) were facing the wrong direction...the sweep should face fore not aft...so they have been removed and will be reinstalled going the right direction.  I may take the opportunity to weather them a bit prior to the reinstall too.

That's it for now...

I think they are also painted black sometimes like the wales often are.

Black it is, but they will be slightly abused😁

Kind of like me?

 

No, in reality I think by their very nature and purpose in life "abused" would be a bit of an understatement. I don't think I would want a one or two ton anchor bumping up against me even once! :wacko::(

This weeks update, still working on little odds and ends

 

First I reattached the billboards

 

IMG_9985.JPG.ee3da9c5537039ddf8c19c4890ca696a.JPG

the ships boat was cut down and a new stern fashioned...it was way too long, a rudder was constructed and a cradle fashioned for mounting on the deck

IMG_9983.JPG.f02b58e14b8a0f16b1682d93fcfcdb9c.JPGIMG_9988.JPG.1d9805bb21e3df6c946a54d1aaa52354.JPGIMG_9992.JPG.3b4d6c43964a52a65653a66996c0c9e2.JPG

all painted out and test fit

IMG_9993.JPG.38e231402a6c5026c7458397aea581f8.JPG

lines will be added to secure it to the deck later

 

Started scratching out the anchors

for the arms I first cut small pieces from some curved stock I had in the spares box...not sure of the species

IMG_9982.JPG.531991127322faef0576dc392929a03a.JPG

and added pins for the shank and shaped them a bit

the shanks were made by chucking square walnut in a dremel and turning against sandpaper, I left the top square to mount the stock

IMG_9990.JPG.92a5f8cc562d6326068b4af61dd649d1.JPG

the stocks are shaped pieces of basswood 

IMG_9989.JPG.78263a005bee79ed16d72753e9081906.JPG

and the flukes were cut from heavy watercolor paper

IMG_9991.JPG.fa312639c8c42a15522f38126e42b116.JPG

still have a bit of shaping and sanding to do...

 

also worked on the lower deadeyes for the shrouds

IMG_9981.JPG.a22b65fed4935e664c76f58e6aa699d4.JPG

this "fixture" allows the deadeye to be held in place with a couple pins while blacked wire is wrapped around it and the pins

IMG_9984.JPG.c146340a61db5c377ed3fa115127208a.JPG 

the pins leave spaces so they can be tacked to the hull when installed

 

Well that's all for now, thanks for looking in

Hi all, thanks for the likes...another installment

 

Spent the last couple days focusing on the chainplates and the anchors

IMG_0011.JPG.e1c4a14874813a3ed9982ba8b5044ef6.JPGIMG_0010.JPG.3233be116adc71cfd309809982db9316.JPG

also finished mounting the ship's boat

IMG_9999.JPG.b268e71679cb6b68c461b46ece894857.JPG

added some strips to the anchor stocks to simulate banding

IMG_9996.JPG.211d5550c23d3630ed569d4bbb4aca0d.JPG

then painted them out and added rings

IMG_0009.JPG.2be16309ec19e16b71796235cf79cfb0.JPG

the ring alone was too thin so some puddening was called for 

IMG_0013.JPG.5bb9f8eccef96641c51b0d26fb3f8ff3.JPGIMG_0012.JPG.3c75caffb6960374394df234f2cd1566.JPG

just wrapping in black cotton thread and reinstalled

IMG_0014.JPG.8e80b7d03f3ddf150c611767f12853c4.JPG

still need to touch-up the paint

thanks for looking in that's all for today

thx for the many likes...last update of the week

started workings on the anchor buoys...

chucked some basswood in the drill and spun against sandpaper and files

IMG_0015.JPG.df51e68984fbef9df2cf058696b08600.JPG

IMG_0017.JPG.6fa84b435b716626ea96a968997f51a4.JPG

once the desired shape was achieved they were parted off, drilled and had eye-hooks attached with ca

IMG_0018.JPG.4890db9b98d100e852e3146c7c311d24.JPGIMG_0019.JPG.d1b274feb031d11cf6040b9923b5ff0a.JPG

still have to rig the harnesses for them.

 

Turned my attention to the anchor rigging and getting the cat heads set up

IMG_0016.JPG.a4e4aa2fddad28b2eb3a429031d72996.JPGIMG_0020.JPG.d4e2894806d63b7cd0aaac42d12000de.JPGIMG_0021.JPG.d76beeb2b4d149a36c9fe3086aeb6cb2.JPGIMG_0022.JPG.83863e5ec0a05ef4b38d0867d01d67b4.JPG

still needs a little fine tuning to get the droop right

and started working on the stock that will yield the mast cleatsIMG_0023.JPG.d2c2ebc5b9a63855e7bcd9a4355d0c9d.JPG

that's all for now...see you next week

Hey Sam, good to hear from you again,  the cleat technique is one I used back on my a Half Moon build, worked ok, I’m gonna look into your log, who knows yours may be better.   Definitely let u know

Had to make more small cleats and some shroud cleats,

To make the regular style cleat I start by taking half circle cuts out of a piece of stock the correct height and width as the finished cleat.  In this pic I'm using a screw punch to remove the unwanted material but a Dremel will work just as well

IMG_0029.JPG.50189effd90f1f770592fab3a6fedac1.JPGIMG_0032.JPG.d08808e6326ed99e7eba849e6b02aeae.JPG

these cuts establish the "wings" of the cleat

once this is complete, drill the base of the to be cleats to accept a pin

IMG_0033.JPG.0d0b09d2a2f6ef8bcec7af149e22f415.JPG

I'm working in basswood here, so it has been hardened with ca. but there is still some breakage as you can see

 

next the pins are set in ca

IMG_0034.JPG.4956aeece5a4f061596504bec91208c2.JPG

and trimmed when dry

IMG_0035.JPG.fc7d1c9c6662cc74fdb32533e2cca4df.JPG

IMG_0036.JPG.6c8d9fe0b2db850315791e6fdabc2188.JPG

the cleats can then be separated and sanded to shape, I use small diamond files for this step

IMG_0037.JPG.cdde31ba39fc38b80806d4d83528fd28.JPGIMG_0039.JPG.39aa1fbfb6213b5a964cab3bf415d400.JPG

I've used this technique successfully for different size deck/mast/boom cleats.

 

This is the first build I've done that required shroud cleats...so this technique wasn't proven, but it turned out pretty well

walnut from the spares box, the correct height, was marked up with the lengths and thirds of each cleat IMG_0024.JPG.4633e74a1b0aee33e5536a3bafa96562.JPG

 

holes were drilled at the intersections and the cleats cut to length

 

IMG_0025.JPG.43741a2cff765914b199fc55370f5602.JPG

next to remove the shaded sections, accomplished with new #11 scalpels 

IMG_0026.JPG.bf7e2edb8e7b1446a08e887223dd80a4.JPG

at this point every one of these split in two right along the shroud line...so the centers were drilled and pinned using ca.  once the wedges were remove you should have something like this

IMG_0027.JPG.d49ba1bfd8ba96ade0018e86b95fc971.JPG

all ready for sanding and finish shaping

Thanks for the comments and hitting the like button...another update

Spent more time on the little details, harnessed and rigged the anchor buoys 

IMG_0043.JPG.ccb0a4a63931b2a376dd7f379968a179.JPGIMG_0044.JPG.2b77e716a7a873e97d95135d49586b08.JPG

and lashed them to the anchors

IMG_0045.JPG.d9e5f3b5e9e1da34bf7a3b58a0181d56.JPGIMG_0046.JPG.ac7ee997356d2e8f099c1e89fb6fda90.JPG

line still needs attached to the free ends, all the excess line will be coiled when the anchors are fixed.

 

Made a couple mast tables for the mast booms

IMG_0041.JPG.0fecf0ce4c14a5bfadb91c777f23342a.JPG

and sail rings

IMG_0040.JPG.0270b40655d5b9c06e0cd7a5dbf2d4ca.JPG

the boom rests are basswood and the rings are paper stock shaped around the knife handle and glued with pva...these were dipped in poly to stiffen them once they dried.

 

Mounted the boom tables and fitted the cleats, made last week, to the masts

IMG_0048.JPG.9163fd96cdf14e4bf58ceb63f52026d8.JPG

and that's it for today...think I'll start detailing the booms and yards next...I've got to decide how I want to rig this build...as a pure schooner or as a top sail schooner, seems either could be correct, leaning toward the former, we'll see...

Thanks for the likes...last update of the week...prepped the booms an gaffs for paint IMG_0053.JPG.62f89c1d16dd3a8ec9c933eb4c346e62.JPGIMG_0052.JPG.f6e412f41ff16132fbe46f49ccfb9cfc.JPG

scratched a block for the bow sprite and jib boom

may have to work up more these are a little rough

and finally reworked the masts...I was gonna build this with top sails but decided to go with gaff rigging IMG_0062.JPG.bc481a4b74708036fc90034fc98c2e4f.JPGIMG_0063.JPG.f2390e99a47a098c4f4aa2e9d36e408c.JPG
