rafine Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share #394 Posted August 2, 2022 Jim, there are 26 5mm and 34 6mm needed. If you are using Syren deadeye kits, you will need 1 pack of each size.

rafine Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share #395 Posted August 10, 2022 I have now completed the work in chapter 11. The final items were the gangways, gangboards and their supporting knees, the newel posts and fancy rails, and the gangway ladders. Although the work was relatively straightforward, it was done in tight crowded spaces and required an extra measure of care. Apparently, I didn’t do that because I damaged a number of previously installed items, including snapping off off three more swivel guns. This meant that my final work was damage repair and replacement and touch up painting. The attached photos show the work done with a few overall shots of the model as it sits now.

rafine Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share #404 Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Thanks so much Jim, Glenn, Ben, Grant, Bob, Thomas and JJ for the generous comments. Thanks also to the "likes". Jim, I' glad that someone will benefit from my exercise in clumsiness .Definitely a good idea to leave the swivels off til the end. Glenn, the final display will be a wooden base with a frameless acrylic top. The model will be mounted just as it is now on brass rods inserted into brass tubes .I have grown partial to that method over the years. Thomas, the fleet at home never grows. I am on a strict " one in ,one out" policy. Every time I finish a model to be kept at home, one of the existing home fleet has to go. Through the years, I have given many to family and friends and donated some to charitable auctions.
