mort stoll Posted August 10, 2021 Author #31 Posted August 10, 2021 Finally completed the stern and quarter galleries. Definitely for me the most difficult part of the build so far. It was difficult to shape those baluster patterns and the decorative brass strips. I still have to varnish the stern and quarter galleries. I also just finished the side entry port and steps. I added rope lines to the steps even though the kit doesn’t show them as I couldn’t imagine those older admirals being able to climb those steps without them, Stay safe and well, Mort Beef Wellington, Old Collingwood and Landlubber Mike 3 Quote Current Build - Caldercraft Victory Completed - Artesiana Latina Swift, Harvey, MGS Prince de Neufchatel, Imai USS Susquehanna, Mamoli Constitution, Rattlesnake per Hunt Practium, Caldercraft Snake, Diana, Kammerlander Duke William Waiting to be Launched - Bluejacket Constitution Proud member of The New Jersey Ship Model Society
mort stoll Posted November 3, 2021 Author #32 Posted November 3, 2021 Quick update. I’ve completed and mounted the channels, their dead eyes, gunport lids and just finished installing the cannons with tampons. I made my own lids as I wanted the hull planking to be visible along with the lids interior planking. I used #28 wire for the second ring on the lids and as PaulB did I used 2 eye bolts and a piece of wire to mimic the latch on the lids inner side.

mort stoll Posted November 18, 2021 Author #33 Posted November 18, 2021 Hi everyone, Have just mounted the rudder. I used dome headed pins to simulate the rivets and added a rudder coat as per Longridge. I used .50 tan thread for the rope line to the mizzenmast channel. I couldn’t organize the stopper knot properly so I fastened the rope to a medium cleat. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

mort stoll Posted December 13, 2021 Author #36 Posted December 13, 2021 The hammock cranes are different heights. The only pictures of hammocks in the cranes I’ve ever seen show them folded in half within the cranes. I would think that the hammocks in the shorter cranes would have been shaken loose by the motion of the ship if they were folded in half. Longridge, Goodwin in “The Construction and Fitting of English Man of War” and McKay in “The AOS Victory” make no mention of their proper stowage. Only of the cranes themselves. Mondfeld shows them folded in half. Lavery in “The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War”says that within the lower rails “they must have been stowed - lengthwise - on their sides” - which to me makes perfect sense - but he’s specifically referring to the cranes at the break of the poop and quarterdeck. The cranes at the forecastle and quarterdeck are only slightly larger than those at the break of the poop. My question is how should I stow the hammocks in those cranes, folded in half or lengthwise on their sides?

mort stoll Posted December 19, 2021 Author #38 Posted December 19, 2021 Am making the hammocks. Have a lot more to make, and have mounted the hammocks at the break of the poop and the ones on the starboard waste. Am still unsure how if I should mount the hammocks in the smaller cranes - on their side length wise as Lavery suggests in “The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War - or in a ushape - as I’m sure the ships motion would shake them loose if they’re mounted in a ushape. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Hope you and your families are having a great holiday season, have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing 2022. Stay safe and well.

mort stoll Posted January 2, 2022 Author #40 Posted January 2, 2022 Have finished the hammocks as the above pictures show. The jig designed by a fellow club member saved me tons of time. It was a godsend. The height of the cranes varied depending on their location - quarterdeck, forecastle, break of the poop etc. Per Longridge in the “AOS” and Lavery in “The Arming And Fitting Of English Ships Of War.” It seemed more logical to have the hammocks in the cranes of lower height laid lengthwise, on their sides as opposed to being folded in half in a v-shape which was how I stowed the hammocks in the higher length cranes. In the shorter height cranes I’m sure the ships motion would have shaken them loose from the cranes. After researching the color - Lavery and Longridge - I made the hammocks from cocktail napkins purchased at Party City. Have a wonderful and safe 2022.
