Trussben Posted July 25 Author #273 Posted July 25 Thanks for all the likes and nice comments. I’m making good progress on the QD beams and knees, all the way down to where I now have to start fitting the chain pumps in place. The pumps were built as per the instructions without much issue along with the Capstans, columns, Main Jeer Bitts and Gallows. Lets see how this final part of chapter 7 goes!

Trussben Posted July 27 Author #275 Posted July 27 Completed Chapter 7 with the completion of the Chain pumps and their associated cranks. I won’t install the elm tree pumps until much later as I’m bound to knock them off. Just a little bit of sanding to do on the QD beams and knees to flatten them down for their margin planks and then to install the QD carlings. realworkingsailor, druxey, FrankWouts and 12 others 14 1 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Yes I certainly did, glue the bulkheads and maybe spacers between them all in place before going near it with sandpaper, you will do that when you "fair" them roughly before adding the gunport cills.

It defines all that comes after. In this case the char actually helps as a guide. FrankWouts 1 Regards, Glenn Current Build: Don't know yet.

Trussben Posted August 8 Author #289 Posted August 8 Chapter 8 has been completed, just a little sanding of the deck beams and knees when I start planking to get a nice run. I still haven’t added the cannons in the waist yet as want to keep them out of the way as long as possible so I don’t knock them loose with an errant elbow.

glbarlow Posted August 8 #290 Posted August 8 Well done! Like you my elm tree pumps and waist cannon weren't installed until the end of Chapter 11. Your wood selection and paint choices, not to mention the framing cutout, make yours unique with lots of visual appeal. Trussben and Rustyj 2 Regards, Glenn Current Build: Don't know yet.

Trussben Posted August 18 Author #292 Posted August 18 Chapter 9 is well under way with the QD and FC side plates to cover the last of the framing done, Caprails installed and the QD planking half completed. There will be lots of paint touchups that will need to be done and small gaps filled when the planking is completed. druxey, glbarlow, dvm27 and 12 others 14 1 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Trussben Posted September 15 Author #299 Posted September 15 (edited) Center planking on both QD and FC completed ( did not put the notches around the scuttles on the QD - prefer the look ) and I started the gangways, I want to finish most of the inboard details before I begin the railings to avoid damaging them.
