Micklen32 Posted May 29, 2013 Share #452 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Nice looking repair on the railings Adrieke Really improves the look Luckily the ones on the spirit actually looked fine when joined together as the cast finished half way along a gap both ends so the join showed a normal gap It was just disguising the joint Those corner decorations They drove me mad I think they took a few hours to get them right on their own For some reason some would just not hold with just a spot of CA and of course as soon as you put a bit more on there..............................

Adrieke Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share #468 Posted May 31, 2013 another small update fitted the first two curved railings . they where a bit awkward as the head posts have different angles there but I think I got them pretty ok. will se when the glue dries with this done I can now fit the paddlewheel in permanently tomorrow I will also buy the necessary parts to fit the 3rd deck and the connector to be build into the display bottom for the powerpack. I need to do that now before fixing anything on the 3rd deck (same goes for the triangle ornaments i feel like i am in the same stage as when i started the rigging of the Virginia . still a lot to do but seeing the end of it then i can concentrate more on the endeavour . maybe even start the Gorch Fock before Sjors has made his first ratline have another beer sjors Shazmira, mtaylor and Sjors 3 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrieke Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share #470 Posted June 1, 2013 thank you Sjors well the beer is always cold in the bar on the KOM see when your shift is over come around yes it is a good feeling to see it come together and I don't have to worry about getting bored as I have plenty more build on the endeavour and the GF today I purchased some stuff : a set of 6 small files some electrical parts and more storage boxes. I also got some epoxy glue but after reading instructions realised that the nozzles need to be replaced after each use and there are only 2 of them. first thing I did was put the DC connector in the display base and tested it out. soldered 2 last two wires on to the board for the 8 led's on the 3rd deck stateroom and the steering house the idea is that the 3rd deck will fit into the connectors when placing it on top I have added the metal plate to hold the 3rd deck on unfortunately one of the nuts didn't stick and am having a hard time adding it as it needs to be underneath and the metal plate is pretty much stuck to the ship hopefully I get it sorted out tomorrow and will be able to add the lights for second deck again and have the 3rd deck in place for finishing off Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrieke Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share #472 Posted June 2, 2013 schol Sjors working a lot on the wiring construction and on the paddle wheel. the 2 parts of the arms that drive it are supposed to be hold together with a piece of brass rod but I am having difficulty flattening the ends so they stay on. am now trying with a toothpick. also added some rings on each side of the paddlewheel so it wont hit against the sides when it spins. its a pretty miserable day here in Sydney . rain and cold but have a little heater and a radio in my little workshop to cheer me up trippwj, Sjors and mtaylor 3 Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrieke Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #476 Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) thanks Crackers I am always interested in expanding my library . one day I might scratch build one in more detail not much progress. the part that I broke and fixed is a weak spot and makes the paddle wheel dip down and hit the sides. I am hoping with the help of the rigging I can lift it in the right position and add a strip of wood underneath for more strength I have also started planking the 2 curved room floors as they will be visible through the windows progress will be slow this week as it is cold at night and I am still in a bit of discomfort (saw the Doctor and got 5 more weeks of medication prescribed ) Edited June 3, 2013 by Adrieke Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
