juliofreemanp Posted July 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) The drawings are lacking and I have questions on the item on the deck that is between the foremast and the front of the ship. What is it used for? If anyone has built this ship, I would very much like to ask you a few questions.

popeye2sea Posted July 9, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2013 Do you have a picture or a description of the item that we can go by? Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliofreemanp Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted July 16, 2013 I used the pencil to point to the items. There is something between the post and the Bow-fprit that is not explained. There is a hole in the hull which seems to serve no purpose. Do you know what these are for? Thanks for the help. Julio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye2sea Posted July 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2013 The first picture looks like part of the windlass. Not sure what the hole in the second picture is.

Patrick Haw Posted July 17, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 17, 2013 The first picture is definitely the windlass, the second could just be a scupper. Patrick Quote HMS Victory by Patrick Haw - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Coleman Posted July 17, 2013 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2013 Yes the first is a windlass that comes in two pieces and has to be glued together, you only can see half of it in the plans becuses of course that view of the deck is only half view. as for the second I'm not sure on that one, could it be a drain off the deck?

juliofreemanp Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted July 23, 2013 I would like to thank everyone for your help. I sent an e-mail to Mamoli and here is there response.In the pictures attached, one is of the bow where there is a hole. Can you tell me what this hole is for? DON'T DO ANY HOLE PLEASE FOLLOW THE DRAWINGSThe other picture is of the deck and there is something between the post and the windlass. Can you tell me what it is? Don't warry it's nothing.On the box cover, the ship is painted. As you used different woods to build the hull, should the ship be painted or left with the natural wood look? Is at your own discretion or raw or how you prefer color it. I have decided to paint the masts, fore arms, gun holders and a few other items on the deck. I am still a long way from finishing but will post it when finished. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st george Posted July 23, 2013 Share #8 Posted July 23, 2013 Between the post and the windlass looks to be the windlass pawl. Quote David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
