DenPink Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share #66 Posted March 28, 2013 Hi all Sorry no photos yet, will post some soon. Started making the bowsprit and yards. The only thing is in the kit the dowels for the masts and yards are different colours of walnut. I want and try to keep the colours as near as possible, so I am getting more dowels. Denis.

DenPink Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share #69 Posted April 1, 2013 Hi all Sorry it is slow going. Start of the bowsprit. Part P.4B I used a rat tailed file so the small mast will fit a little better ( also more area for the gluing ). Denis.

DenPink Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share #74 Posted April 4, 2013 Hi all. Just a tip. Like Vince P said on his SOS log that 1.75mm rope don't come in black only fawn or may be brown ( but don't know about the brown ). I am just doing the rigging on the bowsprit that has part of the rigging that uses 1.75mm rope. To change it to black I used my black wax, I have got to say it was hard going to get the wax into the rope so came up with this. Pass the rope through the black wax about 6 times, then turn it over so you now have the bottom at the top, now do the same 6 more times. When you have done that put it under a light bulb to soften the wax ( this will let the soft wax to get into the rope ) then run a tweezer or your fingers over the rope. Don't burn your fingers OK. Denis.

Kevin Posted April 4, 2013 Share #75 Posted April 4, 2013 you could pull the rope around a warm/hot soldering iron and get the same result Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

DenPink Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share #80 Posted April 14, 2013 Hi All Like Vince said in his log on the SOS they don't say that the stern area steps have hand rails. I got 6 x 2 hole 15mm brass stanchions I then tried to put some .75mm soft brass wire in the holes just to keep it in with the brass decorations , it may be over the top but I think it works ok.

modelshipwright Posted April 15, 2013 Share #82 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Hi Denis, Contemporary depictions of the poop deck access differ in presentation. The Van de Velde sketch clearly shows staircases from the upper gun deck to the poop deck fitted with ornate handrails which connect to a transverse handrail on the poopdeck bulkhead. The Payne engraving, on the other hand, shows a ladder temporarily leaning on the poop bulkhead. These are among the best contemporary representations of what the Sovereign looked like and therefore must be given due credence as there are no original plans in existance. This area is open to modeling it either way. As there are many issues with the Mantua kit regarding authenticity, I see no reason why your depiction of the stairs shouldn' t be used. Well done on their construction. Bill Edited April 16, 2013 by modelshipwright WackoWolf 1 Quote Mediocrity will never do. You are capable of something better.” ― Gordon B.

mtaylor Posted April 15, 2013 Share #83 Posted April 15, 2013 Denis, I think the handrails work. A nice touch that I'd leave in place. Bill has a valid point on these.
