Rustyj Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share #271 Posted July 18, 2013 It’s time to make the gangway iron supports. Between the various heights of the gun deck spirketing and the gangway clamp each bracket will have to be to custom fit at their correct location. Here is the first bracket being test fit. All the pieces ready for soldering. And the first one soldered. Now I just have to clean it up and make seven more. aykutansin 1 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boccherini Posted July 19, 2013 Share #275 Posted July 19, 2013 Rusty, good start with the brackets. My cross section and the plans don't always exactly agree, so I used a piece of timber across the deck resting on the gangway ledges to provide a guide for the underside of the gangway planking. This helped to get the correct angle for the brackets and eliminated the possibilty of them getting out of alignment. Regards, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyj Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share #276 Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks Paddy and Antony. Ben, I used a torch and regular solder. Grant. Plans and build match? Never had that happen for me! I also used a plank to check both the height and angle. I marked each bracket and each location as they were all unique. Here they are drying. Coat two of ?????? Not gonna be twenty though Ben.

Rustyj Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #277 Posted July 23, 2013 Ok all the paint has been applied and gangway iron supports are being installed. I've also placed the cannon and rigged them. I'll finish the supports and make the walkway next. Then it's ladders and a few other bits and pieces.

russ Posted July 24, 2013 Share #278 Posted July 24, 2013 Rusty: The guns looks very good. I have only one concern. Did you double check the diameter of the breechings? It might be my imagination but they look a little large to me. It might be just the photo or something, but it might be worth checking. The colors are great. I like the subdued tone of the red.

Rustyj Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share #280 Posted July 24, 2013 Hi Russ, I used some .028” line I had for the breeching rope. It was the closest I had on hand. Thanks on the colors. I’m real pleased with how they came out. Hi Ben, Have you still got that spy hidden in my shop? I started dusting the Echo off just last night!

russ Posted July 25, 2013 Share #281 Posted July 25, 2013 Rusty: The breechings for a 9 pounder at this scale should be about .029" so your choice of .028" was really just about right. Good going.

Rustyj Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share #282 Posted July 29, 2013 Hi Russ, I wish I could take credit for great planning, but it looked ok and was what I had on hand. Sometimes it just works out ok in the end. I am using holly to make the gangways. I measured the length and glued them together and then used a dremel drum sander to rough in the shape and sandpaper to finish it. I used a little strange way to make the trim molding. It’s made out of pear. I cut the straight top piece and then traced the shape for the two curves, cut it out and sanded it to shape. I wasn’t having a lot of luck making individual pieces to fit the curve and for some reason a whole piece was easier. Not the strangest thing I’ve done. And here is the first one in place. I'm getting there slow but sure.

Pete38 Posted July 29, 2013 Share #283 Posted July 29, 2013 Very nice job on the trim.... that is looking really good Does the pear trim have a slight bevel to it?

Rustyj Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share #285 Posted July 30, 2013 Thank you Paddy. Hi Pete. No bevel on the trim. The individual piece still has the pencil lines on it and may give it a beveled look.

I wasn’t really certain how it would all look once completed. Antony, As far as the case goes I’m going to semi cheat and get a premade plexiglas box and just make the base for it to sit on. I thought about making my own plexiglas box but I didn’t want to get into that yet.

Rustyj Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share #298 Posted August 4, 2013 Well I’ve started to make the ladders. I transferred the lines from the plans to the wood, cut the slots for the treads with the table saw and then cut the side pieces to the angle dictated on the plans remembering to make a mirror of each one cut out.

Rustyj Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #299 Posted August 9, 2013 Well I've installed the ladders and have started working on the case. Here are the ladders, The base is made out of oak. I used the full sized table saw to cut the recess for the plexi cover. And here is the cover in place. As I said before the cover was purchased on line as I did not feel comfortable making it on my own. (AKA Lazy) Gotta finish up the case, just a few fiddly things to do and clean her up and we should be done. mtaylor, AntonyUK, Paddy and 3 others 6 Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
