King of the Mississippi by Adrieke - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - Scale 1:80 - with LED lighting


Recommended Posts

I think I have said it all Adriaan

A superb build made even better considering the problems

A bittersweet moment perhaps

Now she can take her rightful place and you can move on

Well done Adriaan

Well done

Enjoy the Gorch Fock Adrieke, may it bring you new adventures in ship building.

 

Your build log on the King of the Mississippi has been valuable to us all, for me particularly.

Finishing the boat must be satisfying and a relief. It will bring you many memories.

 

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi John,

I have just joined this site. I am also working on this model and I have very much enjoyed your posts and pictures. You are both a skilled and patient craftsman! I am about to put together the paddlewheel arms and rods using the shaft. I assume the shaft is a 10mm piece of the heavy brass wire, but I cannot figure out how to put these pieces together. Any thoughts?

this weekend has been all about the main stairs

 

i have been pondering about it and lookign at how others tacled this construction

 

they always say to cut things in bite size portions and thats what i did

 

the curved part consist of 8 steps making 180 degrees or 2 times 4 steps making 90 degrees

 

4 steps seemed doable so i started preparing :

 

i drilled some holes so that the dowels would be as deep as the point where the curved steps start

attachicon.gifDSCN0195.JPG

 

from the left over from the sheet they came from i cut 6 small bits

attachicon.gifDSCN0196.JPG

 

glueing them together to create a platform to rest the curved steps on while the glue dries

attachicon.gifDSCN0197.JPG

 

at the base i glued a piece of strip against the middle of the dowel to push the first step against

attachicon.gifDSCN0198.JPG

 

i used a metal angle bracket to measure the 90 degree angle

attachicon.gifDSCN0199.JPG

 

i formed the platform a bit more so it would fit. all the elements are now ready

attachicon.gifDSCN0201.JPG

 

the 4 curved steps glued in place

attachicon.gifDSCN0202.JPG

 

 

after creating 2 sets of 4 steps i remembered i needed the others to curve the other way so i glued the base on the other side

attachicon.gifDSCN0204.JPG

Hi

 

Just found your building log, great work!! :10_1_10:

 

I am also building the Mississippi and is I having problem with the staircase. As far as I can acertain, the anlge for the steps that make up the curved portion is 22o. Eight steps only give 176o when lined up side by side. With some for overlapping to glue them together, the angle is less than 90o by some way. How did you onvercome this problem?.

 

Thanks for your advise.

hello Apprentice

 

I didn't measure the angles and assembled the steps 4 at a time to create a 90 degree angle.

 

I assume that stacking the steps you don't actually create a perfect circle looking from above.
