PeterB010 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted September 14, 2020 HI Sjors, I want to buy one in the future as well, but at the moment I have been home sick for a year now, which has cost me quite some money. But, What's in the barrel doesn't acidify. 😁 Next Thursday I will be admitted to the Erasmus Hospital for a recovery operation on my heart valve. The operation and recovery is my first priority, after that I'll see. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted September 14, 2020 Share #33 Posted September 14, 2020 That’s not good news Peter. When you are going to Erasmus next Thursday, i will go to the SFG. Maybe we can wave to each other. Take care my friend and my fingers are crossed that everything goes well.

PeterB010 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share #34 Posted September 14, 2020 Thank you Sjors for the nice words. I appreciate that! SFG, not too serious I hope. Can you imagine the looks on the faces when they see us waving in front of the window. They probably send us straight to the Delta hospital in Rhoon where we can talk about shipbuilding and models while enjoying a cup of coffee.

PeterB010 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share #35 Posted September 14, 2020 I remembered that I had a drill stand in the basement including a Bosch drill that goes with it. Without any problems, the 0.3 mm fitted into the drill head. It's not perfect but it will do for the moment. I placed the drill standard on the table, placed it wrong and before i knew what happened the standard fell on the Hermione. Me stupido! Fortunately the damage was not too bad afterwards and easy to restore. Tomorrow I will start drilling the holes in the pin rails again.

RussR Posted October 8, 2020 Share #36 Posted October 8, 2020 Peter, I completed the AL Hermione and can say the rigging was a challenge (for me). I think your larger belay pins will make tying the rigging even more of a challenge. You did a good job on the your hull.

PeterB010 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share #38 Posted October 12, 2020 HI All, @RussR; Thank you for the compliment on the hull. Choosing for the belaying pins created already a challenge on it's own. The plywood of the pin-rails is breaking during boring out the holes from 0.8 up to 1 mm. I decided the replace the fragile plywood for real wood and make the pin-rails for scrap. The drill and drill press i used wasn't what i expected from it so i had to find a solution for it, which i did and it's working perfectly for the moment. @Sjors, Yes I'm back from the hospital. The operation was successful so that I can now focus on the recovery. I shouldn't put too much strain on my upper body during the first 6 weeks, so I still have 3 more weeks to go. I have reduced my building activities to painting the figurehead and ornaments, which also does not go too smoothly. Despite sanding, degreasing and the use of a primer, the paint does not stick to the surface and damages quite easily. I think I'm going to use a different kind of paint for the figurehead. I've started over 3 times and still it's not to my liking. (see the damage on the right ear) Because of this my motivation ebbs away a bit, if you know what I mean.

Sjors Posted October 15, 2020 Share #39 Posted October 15, 2020 Hello Peter, I’m happy that you are at home again. I hope that everything is going In the good direction with your health. The build also goes into the right direction...nice! If you need another drill standard, i have one from proxxon. If you want it you can get it. I don’t know if a Dremel fits in it. Let me know.

PeterB010 Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share #40 Posted October 17, 2020 Hi Sjors, Yes I'm also glad happy that I'm back at home just before the second Corona wave. Getting slowly fitter every day, who know I'm running the marathon next year🤪 Just kidding, starting back at the work will be fine enough for me. About the Proxxon standard, Can you tell me what the inner diameter is? The Dremel is approx 20 mm. Regards Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB010 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share #46 Posted November 1, 2020 Hi all, @ Matt D and Dutchman thanks for the kind words. Yes I feel a lot better already, so I can't complain. @ Dutchman, the running rigging has to wait for a later moment. First i have to rig the guns on the main deck. Today I wanted to continue with the assembly of the capstan and the deck grating. Correct me if I'm wrong, but just as with the ladders, something went wrong at the production line and quality control of AL. (look and decide for yourself) After some sanding this is the best I've been able to make of it. In the Netherlands we have a saying for someone who is not easily satisfied. It has something to do with ants ....., but I won't mention that any further.😁 I decided to order the ladders as well as the gratings over the internet. As i mentioned above; i will start with the rigging of the guns. (main deck) Regards Peter chris watton and ccoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted November 1, 2020 Share #48 Posted November 1, 2020 Well that’s annoying! Does the capstan show up on any scale drawings so you can tell what went wrong?

PeterB010 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share #49 Posted November 1, 2020 Hi Matt, It's certainly annoying, I didn't had that much trouble with build of the President. (Sergal kit) unfortunately there are no scale drawings of any part included with the Artesania Latina Kit. Only a CD with instructions and photo's. The only possibility I can think of is to send a PM to one fellow builders here on MSW who also builds the Hermione. I still have a lot of scraps from my previous build (President) to make from scratch. But first i need the dimensions of the capstan. anyway all, those flaws are really time consuming🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussR Posted November 2, 2020 Share #50 Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) When I did my Hermione, I ended up cutting the cap off with a razor saw and adjusted the stem to fit. Now that I look at the completed model I can't tell I did anything. Most of the flaws that I use to fret over, I can't even remember. Most viewers myself included won't be able to pick your flaws out. Because the rest of the model will over shadows the nit picky flaws. Of course we all want to build the best we can. As far as time consuming. I do this for the fun of it and not for a source of aggravation. And this gives my pea brain something to do. You are doing a great job and I look forward to more.

PeterB010 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share #51 Posted November 2, 2020 Hi RussR, thanks for the compliment and most likely my capstan will undergo the same adjustment as yours! By time-consuming I meant the delivery time of products you order on the internet. Since Covid-19 everyone seems to have a hobby, so the delivery time is sometimes more than a month. I'm not in a rush to finish the Hermione as soon as possible. But in the meantime while I'm can't go on, I pick-up my guitar and play the blues. 😁 You are right about the flaws and viewers that are looking at it. They don't see! 😁 (sorry but I'm a little pleasantly disturbed) The updates will keep coming till the day I'm finishing Hermione!

PeterB010 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share #54 Posted November 10, 2020 Hi all, The capstan is sawn through, shortened and glued together. After some puzzling, sawing and sanding this is what I was able to make of the gratings. RussR, you're right for what you can make of it with a different mindset.😏 Finally, all the pin rails are made, drilled, painted and trimmed with belaying pins.
