fmodajr Posted February 2, 2021 Share #243 Posted February 2, 2021 Beautiful work Mark! What does the piece of furniture fwd of the wheel represent? I ask because I notice the hole on top. Is something to go on top? Frank popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and marktiedens 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer Posted February 2, 2021 Share #244 Posted February 2, 2021 Hi Mark Wonderful clean work. Regarding Franks question: I did put a simple chimney into the opening of the binnacle but when I just tried to see it below the overhang of the poop It was just barely visible and only because the rigging is not yet in place...

marktiedens Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share #245 Posted February 2, 2021 Yes,Frank - it is the binnacle. As Peter says, it probably should have a chimney in the hole,but would be near impossible to see once the poop deck is in place. The plans don`t show anything in the hole,but I may just stick a short piece of dowel in it.

marktiedens Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share #248 Posted February 27, 2021 Update - poop deck on & planked. The cap rails were added & the carronades were finally finished & set in place with all the rigging. The carronades are shown in the retracted position thus the lack of slack in the breech ropes. The railings will be added later - if not, I would surely knock them loose. Need to add a few more things & then on to the pointy end of the ship.

marktiedens Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share #250 Posted February 28, 2021 Thanks Bob - I think I would just as soon tie ratlines all day than rig guns.

marktiedens Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share #255 Posted March 8, 2021 update - finished up the poop deck by adding some bitts, a few timberheads, stern brackets, the skylight, & a bunch of eyebolts. I used liquid window maker for the skylight windows. Next, the bow railings & timberheads were installed. The cap rails, railings, & timberheads were all laser cut to shape and fit nicely - basically just had to assemble, paint them & glue them on & cut 4 short sections out for the last 4 cannons.

marktiedens Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share #260 Posted March 16, 2021 Hi - added the rest of the cannons to the deck plus the chimney & gratings. Before finishing off this area, I thought I would move to the bow deck area & work on the head rails. First thing I had to do was chisel out the top of the wales so the gratings would sit on the supports properly. after a lot of filing to the head rail slots in the supports, they were glued in place along with the upper cheek rail. Then, the middle & lower head rails were shaped & glued in place - this took almost a whole day to get them even on both sides. Finally, the gratings were added. Got a bunch more to do yet in that area.

marktiedens Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share #266 Posted March 25, 2021 Well,1 step forward & 2 steps back. While working on the bow, I managed to break a few strips of the bow grating. I managed to splice in some small HO scale strips & after some paint touch up it looks ok at arm`s length. Continuing on, I finished up one side of the head rails. I had to cut a groove in the rails for the covering strips to lay flat, but other than that it was just a lot of filing & sanding to get everything lined up. Now I have to do it all over again on the other side.
