AJohnson Posted August 10, 2022 Share #211 Posted August 10, 2022 Very good Trond, are you having to scratch build most of the deck fittings? Are the kit ones no good or missing. Doing a fine job. 👍 Keith Black 1 Quote Andrew Current builds:- HM Cutter Trial - Vanguard models (1/64), HMAV Bounty - Caldercraft (1/64), Hawker-Typhoon-1b-"Car-Door" - Airfix (1/24) Completed (Ship):- "Nisha" - Vanguard Models (1/64), HMS Orestes (Mars) - Caldercraft (1/64), HM Cutter Sherbourne - Caldercraft (1/64), TSS Earnslaw - Paper Shipwright (1/250), Puffer "Starlight" - Paper Shipwright (1/250) Completed (Non-Ship):-Blackburn Buccaneer S.2C - Airfix (1/48), Bristol Beaufort - Airfix (1/72), Mosquito B.XVI - Airfix (1/72), , Sea-Harrier-FRS1 - Airfix (1/72), Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat - Airfix (1/24), De Havilland Chipmunk T.10 - Airfix (1/48), Flamborough Head Lighthouse - Paper Shipwright (1/250) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trond Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share #212 Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) All the top fitting is scratch build and will be. The only thing I can use from the kit now on is 3 types of rope and maybe the mast and spare. So It is sometime frustrating, but at the same time satisfying. I learn alot and it's fun to see the ship beeing built kind out by my self, using HMS Bounty book.

Trond Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share #213 Posted August 11, 2022 Found a piece (tail rudder) from the kit i could use, but need modifying( alot). Here I've made groves for the hinges, that I've blacked. Also added piece of wood on the bottom and back. The top of the tail rudder is way to thin. Had to glue on some wood and than afterward make it suitable.

LyleK1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share #214 Posted August 18, 2022 Just got caught up on your progress... some very impressive work. Especially the ship's wheel! Your kit seems to rival mine in the lack of instructions, material and drawings. The AL instructions are non-existent once the main deck is done. The masting and rigging is all drawings... not great ones! I'm enjoying your log.

Trond Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share #215 Posted August 23, 2022 Next is the rudder. I accually could use the on in the kit with some modifications. Added on some wood and made som notches for the hinges. I cheated and bought the hinges. Had to paint it several times to get an ok finish. At the same time I'm working on the Timberhead. The challange has been making the hole at the tip. My drill jig is not stable enough. The with of the holes are 1.2mm. So I need to figure how to make them even and parallel. I definitely should by my self a good columnar drill. Need to look around. Anybody have any referance on good ones?

Thank to you Lyle I did another going through my thought and what I had and what I needed. I got stop my order right before it left the shop. Know I'm going through what I really need. So, I have a lath with a mill. What I didn't know or though about was by getting a set of collets other than Proxxon, since what they have are to big. By that I mean my very small drills 0.1-1.0mm which have a base stem of 3mm, which is to small for what Proxxon supplies or what I have. I also saw that it is possible to get a gear tooth chuck (10mm) with adapter that I can fit into my mill. So I've asked for price and delivery of small collets and a gear chuck. It saves me a lot of money and is more accurate than what I've used so far.

Good to see you back and not too far to go either. Sometimes it is good to take a break which is what I have done with my Endeavour build which is almost a year now. I had planned on just taking a short break from the rigging to start on the HMS Diana butt his has taking me a lot longer than I thought and I am still nowhere near at the same level as the Endeavour. Good luck with your Bounty and I look forward to watching your progress.

Trond Posted March 27 Author Share #231 Posted March 27 Making these holes for the disc wheels was challenging. The milling machine did not work, so I had to trill by free hand.

Trond Posted March 29 Author Share #232 Posted March 29 The bell is in place. Whentthrough what size and how many deadeys I needed, more than I had. The bough a supplement package to the original kit with fittings, canons +++, but that was missing a lot and not very up to scale. So need to buy all blocks (boght some earlier) and other supplemtns for rigging. Also startet with the figure. So this is take 1 and I'll see how many tries before I get it right. 1st time carving.

Trond Posted April 1 Author Share #233 Posted April 1 Took some work, but not finished. And I think it is a huge improvment with my new carving compared to the one with the kit. Any suggestion to colors? And yes I'm going to paint the ship bow, just need to get the time to go and visit the same shop again (not in my city) LyleK1, chris watton, AJohnson and 1 other 4 Quote Trond 'Patience Is a Virtue' Current Build: HMS Bounty - Billingboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
