glbarlow Posted May 25 Author Share #754 Posted May 25 Only the swivel guns to go to finish Chapter 11. A quick update on what was the long process of adding the chain plates to fix the deadeyes to the channels. Basically a lot of holes to drill in a straight, level, and angled lines. Another exercise in patience, planning. placing, and adjusting each of the three mast sections of channels and deadeyes I am a big fan of the acrylic strops and chainplates - so much easier and such a much better look than fighting through their metal equivalents. I’m not going back. I also had a new opportunity to make many eyelets along the hull following the plans. At this point the twist around the drill bit in the vice and the cut, snip, fit is mindless, easy work. Maybe someday I’ll count how many I’ve made for Winchelsea - or maybe not. The model is transformed with these additions - looking completely like a ship at this point (don’t look at the stem, that’s Chapter 12). It’s really quite something. I'm going to take some better photos after I finish Chpt 11. I still haven't glued in the remaining guns, but that's coming up soon. Thanks for stopping by - some swivel guns are up next.

I’m not going back. I didn't realize they were acrylic. Are these available from Syren? I agree that the metal versions are rather a pain to deal with.

They need to be lightly sanded and weathering powder applied but they are great.
