Wreck1919 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted December 15, 2021 The linoleum on the forecastle deck is finished - its the smaller pieces that take forever. Other than that not much visible progress as its small parts now. Cheers sascha Hartron, Siggi52, amateur and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 15, 2021 Share #33 Posted December 15, 2021 Are you doing those hooks still with 'basic tools' or did you upgrade in the meantime. In any case: increadibly crisp work. (and the studded chain: bought, or also self-made?) Jan Canute, mtaylor and lmagna 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreck1919 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted December 15, 2021 Thanks for your comments guys. Jan, still the same tools 😎. Jewellers saw, file and drill. As for the studded chain: my name is not Valery😬 and i dont know how to spell soldering - so no way me making that. That was bought. greetings sascha mtaylor, ccoyle, lmagna and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted December 25, 2021 Share #35 Posted December 25, 2021 Another project that I had missed so far, perhaps because it is somewhat outside my 'time-frame' (19th century). Very nice work on the slip-hook. Are the pieces for the shackles etched or stamped ? Talking about the slip-hook: are you sure that it is attached that way to the anchor-chain ? I thought these slip-hooks were used at the end of chain-stoppers (short chains or wire-strops), hooked with the opening part into the anchor-chain, while the other end was shackled to an eyebolt on deck. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreck1919 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share #39 Posted February 1, 2022 Thanks for your comments guys. A bit of update: didnt like the capstans, so made new ones (brass/wood) plus the chain deflectors . Lashing chains (? English?) are now also there. Bit of work that as it required to remove the studs from the first two links of the anchor chain and then threading the lashing chain through it and finally getting small shackles through to fix it to the eye on deck. Will need to touch up some paint as it took uncounted tries. some progress on the bridge with some interior „decoration“, glass for the windows. Built the 3m rangefinder and made my first piece of railing/handrail. latest were the first bollards plus fairleads (rollers still missing) . yvesvidal, Rudolf, Canute and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreck1919 Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share #43 Posted April 2, 2022 Again a little catch-up. Steel cables holding the mast i found to be wrong in my plan. Were drawn as passing the bridge structure, but that would have them blocking the LoS of the 6 in gun. Photo study showed they pass through the bridge…took courage and care to drill the holes without wrecking it. (Mast is just temporary for angle). Also started on the ammunition rails. cheers sascha ccoyle, yvesvidal, mtaylor and 9 others 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreck1919 Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share #44 Posted September 17, 2022 Hi all, the past months i had quite some work to do, so not much shipbuilding. Also study of the original builders plans revealed more differences to the model plan i started with. Long story short, i had to re-start with the entire bridge structure (lenght,width, position of supports, upper bridge has addtl deck level, steel girders for support, etc). Some photographs… still work inprogress, loosely arranged for pics. wefalck, yvesvidal, Roger Pellett and 7 others 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valeriy V Posted September 18, 2022 Share #46 Posted September 18, 2022 Thoughtful work without undue haste gives excellent results. And the sailor on the deck is too small in scale or is it a cabin boy? Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreck1919 Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share #47 Posted September 18, 2022 😎 Valeriy,.. the sailor is to scale. He‘s my building inspector. Macro shots sadly show all deficencies… but here is a close up with him and the 15cm (6“ for our imperial friends). The curious black one is guarding the shipyard - Stanislav.

Wreck1919 Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share #49 Posted October 7, 2022 Thanks for your comments. New lower bridge with supports is finished.

Wreck1919 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share #53 Posted December 3, 2022 Just a small update (not much time to buil) .deck torpedo tubes were made (no machines, so couldnt make gears etc). Spent time figuring out were the big vent goes (middle of picture) as model plan with which i started the build is very different from builders plans which i got some months ago. Also funnels are painted. As you can see, the colour is different. Shame, because its the ssme brand&code but they must have changed the recipe… annoying for work going forward (eg touch up, corrections). But this will be „crew re-painted on board“😎. cheers sascha GrandpaPhil, Valeriy V, wefalck and 8 others 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreck1919 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share #54 Posted January 3, 2023 Thank you for your comments 😀, a short update: to distract me from the „colour no more available“ subject, i made two searchlight platforms and more vents. Also finally the linoleum decking is finished. The small puzzle pieces take the most time. cheers sascha Keith Black, KeithAug, yvesvidal and 10 others 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wefalck Posted January 4, 2023 Share #56 Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Nice, crisp work indeed. Are the rail stanchions around the platform commercial pieces or did you turn/drill them yourself ?

wefalck Posted January 5, 2023 Share #59 Posted January 5, 2023 Yes, it's these stanchions we are talking about. They seem to be of really good quality, etched from both sides with exactly aligned masks. They look almost like turned ones. Saemann is known for good quality and they have been in the market for many years. Unfortunately they don't do anything in 'my' scale (1:160). mtaylor, Canute and Valeriy V 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
