scrubbyj427 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share #337 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) So today I concluded chapter 7 and now onto chapter 8! But first I need to finish all the guns on the gun deck. I decided to go with the cherry capstan kit rather than the AYC, tough decision but I thought it complemented the guns well and manages to stand out enough to not get lost. The deck beams and all the knees went well, when fitting them I left them all just a tad bit high, after they were all complete I came through with a small file board and faired everything out and made sure my run of deck planks will be smooth. What a mess this created but a nice vacuum and a small air compressor made quick work or the clean up. The lamps went fairly trouble free except I did break one and had to solder in another early on, I’m afraid these are a one time deal and will be impossible to replace if they fail, but Evan’s claims over 2000 hours of running time so I should be good. Even with the lights off the lamps look good I think. Mounting the pumps and the associated metal work was a nice challenge, I spent a lot of time taking them on and off trying to get them to accommodate for the deck camber. The Crank handles were A little tricky but not that bad if you take your time. I took a couple shots with the lamps on with very little light around, the photos show them much brighter and yellower then they actually are but still present well in photos. Thanks for looking in.

glbarlow Posted January 5, 2023 Share #340 Posted January 5, 2023 That is really nice work. The cherry cannons and capstan are a nice touch. I really like the lanterns, what a way to make it your own and a special work of art. I look forward to reaching this point some day and having it look half as nice.

scrubbyj427 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share #341 Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks guys, appreciate it. no rest here, I’m right back on guns and rigging away. Problem is I took too long of a break from them and I’m trying to find my way back. Been making some adjustments but I think I’ll be back on track soon. 8 to go then I can start chapter 8… the remaining 4 guns in the waist, well they can wait until chapter 12 lol!

Yes indeed the cannons are fun, especially if you decide to rig them, I’m trying a new method of building them one at a time now as I need them. I’ll get there eventually.

scrubbyj427 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share #347 Posted February 10, 2023 And that concludes chapter 8, opening chapter 9 as I write this, forward progress will begin tomorrow. I did the same for 8 as chapter 7 with the deck beams and all the knees. Had to finagle the stove in so I could block sand all the beams down fair and make a gigantic mess but it all worked out. One more gun to rig for this chapter and then I’ll finish remaining four after chapter 9. And no more lights! Thanks for stopping by.

scrubbyj427 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share #354 Posted February 16, 2023 Small progress update, I’ve been working through chapter 9, doing the final onboard planking and the caprails. I’ve have a few small issues with the caprails which all stem from my earlier planking and fairing in the beginning of the project but nothing serious. The worst is in the waist, I had to sand down the spirketting a little more than I wanted, to make it match the sheer, it won’t be too noticeable once the model is complete but I’ll know it’s there. Lesson learned. taking a week off from work and I plan to finish chapter 9 when I return. Thanks for stopping by!
