Ronald-V Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share #94 Posted September 10, 2019 Finished the windlass and pawl bitts. Just gave everything a second layer of paint. Need some wheatering tho. They are dry fitted at the deck with some pins, but not yet fixt with glue. Don't know exactly, maybe for convenience to work on the deck.

The Lazy Saint Posted September 10, 2019 Share #95 Posted September 10, 2019 Hi Mugje, Very good wood working, the windlass in particular looks fantastic. I am hoping to do Pickle next and your build is certainly going to be one l draw on for inspiration, well done. Best wishes as always, The Lazy Saint.

Ronald-V Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share #101 Posted September 12, 2019 Something weird in the manual. The hawse holes need to be on different places. As you can see also on the photo's. But if you read the instructions... they have to be drilled on the same height...9mm under the capping rails. But if you look at the pictures...the one on port side looks higher then the one starboard.

The Lazy Saint Posted September 15, 2019 Share #105 Posted September 15, 2019 Hi Mugje, Great progress, well done. I have been mystified with the Chainplates on my Ballahoo and Sherbourne, just couldn't work out how to fit them correctly. I ended up devising my own method. I have seen with interest the Chainplates you have with Pickle, they seem much better and l see you have fitted them well. Keep up the good work. Best wishes as always, The Lazy Saint.

Ronald-V Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share #106 Posted September 16, 2019 Yes it looks pretty strong also...thanks to Caldercraft... they did a very good job with the instructions with this model. Everything seems clear and solid. Quote Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald-V Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share #107 Posted September 19, 2019 The rudder is fixt! The coppering is a bit shiny😁. But that gets old soon. You can also see one of the scuppers that I added.

flyer Posted September 20, 2019 Share #109 Posted September 20, 2019 Hi Mugje This is an excellent first build. I like the precision of your work, especially the painting. Just don't forget to paint the rudder hinges copper. Because of the electro-chemical reaction between copper and iron they were made in copper or bronze in those parts where the hull was coppered.

Ronald-V Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share #110 Posted September 20, 2019 Tnx Peter! I saw it in your build that you painted the hinges copper. I considered it, but I still doubting if I'm painting it copper. Because the actual copper is aging with time. So there is going to be a colouring difference. I think I'm deciding it at the end of the build. Then I can mix maybe the colour right to match the coppering. Thanks for the compliments and tips!

Ronald-V Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share #111 Posted September 21, 2019 so they would be blackish green due to the oxidation in the water? Quote Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have in mind that copper on a moving ship is not green under water but copperish pink. It get's green when e.g. being in a dry dock for a long time. Kinda same with bronze. cheers Dirk Ah tnx! I think I'm going for the dry dock look. Dubz 1 Quote Currently working on the HMS Sphinx from Vanguard Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
