Dan Vadas Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share #1057 Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks for the comments Alistair, Druxey, Joe, David, Mark, David, John, Remco, Alex, Patrick, Grant, Sherry and Popeye . I notice your gratings and coamings are quite heavily cambered whereas some models show them quite flat. Alistair, it probably depends on the particular ship as to how much camber (or "roundup") the gratings have. On the Swans it's quite a bit more than the roundup of the decks. what you forget to show is how incredibly small the parts are! Take a look down the page a bit Remco . Continuing on with the wheel .... I turned the Barrel and fitted it to the wheel : Last things to make were the two Stanchions that support the wheel assembly. These have a molded section in their faces, which I cut with an Xacto : Here's a pic showing how small the wheel is compared to a 5c piece : The wheel dry-fitted to the deck. I'll leave it off for now as it could get damaged fairly easily. Oh yeah, and the wheel is fully operational (or will be when it's rigged ) : Danny CaptainSteve, Elmer Cornish, druxey and 30 others 33 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

newbuilder101 Posted March 29, 2014 Share #1065 Posted March 29, 2014 BEAUTIFUL work Danny - as always! Grant's comment prompted me to research the size of the Aussie 5 cent piece compared to ours. The result: It's half way between a Canadian 5 cent and 10 cent piece. (American coins are the same size as Canadian) I now appreciate jsut how small that wheel is now! gjdale and realworkingsailor 2 Quote Sherry Every goodbye is the birth of a memory...

Dan Vadas Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share #1079 Posted March 31, 2014 Thank you Russel, Timmo and Kevin. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better Well how about this then Timmo ? Ladderway Railings The Stanchions for the railings are turned from 1.2mm brass wire. They taper from 0.7mm at the top to 1mm at the bottom. The lugs that hold the railings are made from a couple of spare chain links (left over from the pump chains). They are silver soldered to the stanchions - a bit tricky to hold in position, as the double ones are only 1.6mm long and the singles are 0.8mm : Here's the coin again - the stanchions are 18mm long : Fitted to the ship : Danny scratch, newbuilder101, WackoWolf and 20 others 23 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.
