James H Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share #406 Posted February 12, 2023 This is my penultimate update as the hull is now complete. After this, it will masting and riggings, but I will be building Grecian before that. The last couple of weeks has been very intense with getting everything done to deadline for a late Feb release. It I hadn't been ill for a lot of last year, this would've been done about 3 months ago. 🤨 The deadeyes/strops/chainplates are now fitted. These are straightforward enough. The shot garland and belaying pin racks are now fitted to the quarterdeck bulwarks, along with other paraphernalia. The racks are pinned for strength. Barricades are now fitted. All of the pillars are individual to their positions to cater to the change in camber of the deck. I now get to fit all of the stuff I've previously built during the deck fit-out.

James H Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share #407 Posted February 12, 2023 Poop and quarterdeck: First up are the flag lockers. The honeycomb core is made from photo etch, painted to resemble wood. This is enveloped in a pear case. Next is the skylight. And then the bitts. Moving onto the quarterdeck, I finally start to shed my shelf of all the parts I have, starting with this: The capstan and stairway are now installed, followed by the hatchway doors which are posed open. Bitts and gratings. The carronades on the open decks are different to the others as they don't need to slide. These are now built and installed to the quarterdeck. ...followed by the ship's wheel.... ...and the binnacle. dunnock, Paul Le Wol, yvesvidal and 33 others 29 7 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

The belfry is supplied as a 3d part. This is fitted with a gallows and the bell/bellcrank. We have a couple of 12-pounders up front, and these are now built up and fitted, along with the rest of the carronades. The most forward ports are left unoccupied. Now onto the hammock cranes and other ironwork on the gunwales. Here you see the boat cradles in situ.

I have downloaded the on-line manual and will studying the content so I can plan the build. I have a trip to visit the HMS Trincomalee tomorrow (14th Feb) at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool. I will be taking plenty of photos which I hope will help me with the Indy build.
