Vane Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share #246 Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks, its alot of work with the details now. I hope to get it over soon so i can start with the masts and rigging. Not sure yet about the canons. We will see if i do the extra blocks but its really tiny work to get in place.

See here 9 hours ago, SpyGlass said: is there a reason why you didnt drill many of them from outside along with the premarked gunport bolts before second planking I thought this was a really neat aspect of Chris's design.

Vane Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share #250 Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks, i am still fiddling with the crossguards... hope to get contact soon... Yes, i predrilled the holes for the gunrigging but they clogg up a little with the red paint so just a touch up. But there are lots of other holes too to drill for various of things to attach. Sometimes its also abit difficult to figure out exactly where some of the eyebolts should go especially at the bow. The plans are slightly unambigious on some points. But i guess it doesnt matter that much.

Vane Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share #251 Posted August 9, 2020 To the lower decks... my Proxxon disksander is really useful when making smaller strips that need to have the exact same lenght. I started of with gluing the first and last plank. Then squized down the rest with a pincette. You should not that the two ladders slightly differs in size and mounted in two different directions on the boat.

chris watton Posted September 12, 2020 Share #253 Posted September 12, 2020 Cochrane did ask was was allowed a 12 pounder or two, but could not find anywhere to fit them, as the ports were too small for anything above 4-pounders.

glbarlow Posted December 3, 2020 Share #262 Posted December 3, 2020 Check your plans as you start rigging to make sure the "eyes" on the dead eyes top and bottom all line up the same. Nice looking detail work - very crisp and tidy. I always appreciate someone who can paint neatly.

drjeckl Posted December 3, 2020 Share #263 Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Yes, indeed, very neat work. Interested to know how you make out with that Ropewalk. Do you know if anyone else has used that model before? Is that the Model Shipways version? Looks relatively inexpensive. Good luck!

Vane Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share #266 Posted December 4, 2020 Hmmm... minor mistake... when you measure and decide where to add things you really need to think about what lines of the model are most important. Should u measure against the whale or the canon ports or something else? Well later on you you see the consequences of your decisions...

glbarlow Posted December 5, 2020 Share #268 Posted December 5, 2020 The truth is breaching ropes are probably enough for those tiny cannon. Especially after the ship is rigged. But is enough good enough. I only did breaching ropes on my Nelson, but that was because I was ready to move on to Cheerful. I will fully rig Flirt when I get there, as very painful to my fingers and eyes that will be. 🤣😂. Only you will notice....😳 Edwardkenway and Vane 2 Quote Regards, Glenn Current Build: HMS Winchelsea Completed Builds: HM Flirt (paused) HM Cutter Cheerful, Lady Nelson, Amati HMS Vanguard, HMS Pegasus, Fair American, HM Granado, HM Pickle, AVS, Pride of Baltimore, Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should u measure against the whale or the canon ports or something else? Well later on you you see the consequences of your decisions... I'm interested in what you would have done differently. You can't really move the aft channel up, blocking the gun port. Aesthetically (and probably structurally), the fore channel looks perfect. So does that point to that the aft portion of the wales should have been a little lower? From the beautiful picture above, it looks pretty well lined up; maybe it could go a little touch lower. That would lead to having to figure out where the chainplates go and the channels go before laying in the wales. Am I getting close to the point you were trying to make? I only ask because Speedy is my next build. Thanks. John Quote .John Current Build: Lady Nelson Next up: Speedy (Vanguard Models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
