I take it you have a significant maritime resume and probably a lot of options for your next job. Matt, I actually elected to stay with my current owner, I’ll probably end up on another boat. Problem is I may not have the same size cushy workshop again. There may be plans to temporarily invade the kitchen table soon.

I do have a hull developing and hydrostatics plug in for rhino that really streamlines this process.

Mldixon Posted October 5, 2021 Share #244 Posted October 5, 2021 I did the Winnie hull in sketchup, check my build thread, there are some pics...I haven't mastered rhino yet so no plugins. FrankWouts and scrubbyj427 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mldixon Posted January 28, 2022 Share #247 Posted January 28, 2022 Lots of cannons and repetition in that chapter. I spent a lot of time on fluctuating between how to do the lines, I finally settled on just breeching details. By the way I really liked the lanterns, great idea and execution..

Ugh I know, I never look forward to rigging guns but it’s rewarding when finished. I’ve been on the fence about rigging them and sticking with Chucks recipe but then it just gets too tempting and I think I have to do it. Thanks for noticing the lanterns, once I complete chapter 6 or at least the aft end of it it, I will start with 7 and my lantern production will begin as all my LED’s are loosely awaiting their final positions. I’m toying with 3D printing them as solid units in clear and just painting the details on, they are a small production to make.

Mldixon Posted January 28, 2022 Share #249 Posted January 28, 2022 Yep, Chuck suggested I only breech, so I tried that, and liked the look. But the .055 rope from his store really sold the package. If your printer is resin you'll get great results on the lanterns. I printed all my cannons and was amazed at the detail. Airbrushed them with a bronze metallic paint over a black primer coat FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been a real cannon snob and I’ve been buying Chucks turned brass ones and blackening them, I’ve been happy with those but the resin ones people are using look great as well. unfortunately I’ve haven’t invested in a 3D printer yet so off to shapeways I go with this one!

Well, I have an Anycubic Mono, so I just naturally printed my own cannons as it was fairly simple to do. I don't care much for the rotten egg smell from liver of Sulphur so I only blacken when absolutely necessary, hence no brass cannons FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mldixon Posted January 29, 2022 Share #253 Posted January 29, 2022 It's the Mono X , and I use Chitubox slicer, thats a free version. I do reference prints with any new resins I buy to dial in the settings before I print. I have no complaints about the printer, just the operator. 😄 FrankWouts and scrubbyj427 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrubbyj427 Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share #262 Posted February 7, 2022 So I built my rigging jig today, I’m going to assemble all the tackle and metal parts in this jig first and then when everything is dry and stable I’ll carefully transfer one gun and tackle at a time over to Winnie. I think the process won’t be too bad once I get rolling. dvm27, Chuck, Gregory and 10 others 13 Current Builds: HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 - 5th rate 32 gun frigate (on hold for now) HMS Portland 1770 Prototype 1:48 - 4th rate 50 gun ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glbarlow Posted March 10, 2022 Share #266 Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) A suggestion, I think the breaching rope would be a crossed loop at the rear of the gun rather than seized. The rigging looks great, the natural flow of the ropes is very impressive.
