James H Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share #212 Posted September 15, 2022 Ok, major update time! I've actually had a lot of subassemblies ready for a while, as this log shows, but now it's time for adding them in. What I haven't shown here is the spirketting that I added and fitting the eyelets to the inner bulwark gun positions. You'll have to wait until manual is finished for those! I've had to take about 100 photos these last days and sequence them, with the ones I took ages ago. Ok, first paint is for the coamings, after masking off the garlands and glue area for grates. Coamings now fitted without grates as they are more flexible for deck curve. I've probably posted this pic before, but this just shows that the ladders are now being fitted, along with the grates. I pre-assembled the bitts etc in situ, then removed them when dry before painting. These are now added into place for the last time. thibaultron, yvesvidal, DocRob and 26 others 27 2 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

James H Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share #213 Posted September 15, 2022 And more... Knees(?) now added, as well as a painted brick floor for the stove. And the gun carts now have some colour applied to them, as well as ironwork and wheels. Remember, these won't be fitted with barrels until the model is more or less complete. Capstan finally done. As are the hand pumps. No one wants to walk down stairs without a safety rope around them! And the stove makes an appearance. And this is Indy up to date.

James H Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share #222 Posted September 21, 2022 Time for another update. This was something I was looking forward to doing. Not covering up all that work I'd just done, but to turn a corner and be able to do it all again for the next layer in the Indy cake. Before I did that, I needed to add the scale-sized cannonballs to the shot garlands. These are done with liquid CA and some thin-ended paddle tweezers that won't knock the previous ball glued into place. And with that, it's onto the beams. As the upper side will have some timber showing through the deck cutouts, these were totally cleaned of char. The whole upper face was cleaned also because they look much better for the instruction photos. There are two lengths of pillar, depending on whether they sit on a deck or on a grate coaming. All deck beams were painted red, except for the upper side and all the slots. The beam ID is engraved on each beam and this ties in with the engraved number of the deck beam sill. The beams are now slotted and glued into position. Those beams that are supported are continually test fitted with a pillar before being finally glued. Also important to make sure the pillar doesn't push the beam higher than was intended. A steel rule checks this as I go. The forward beam for the quarterdeck is not only shaped in profile, but also curved across its length. To create this, the beam is made from laminated pear parts, glued together over a jig. When this is dry, the part is cleaned up and fitted into place, sitting atop two of the bitts. ccoyle, CaptnBirdseye, VTHokiEE and 28 others 28 3 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

James H Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share #223 Posted September 21, 2022 Included in the kit will be a set of optional lodging and hanging knees. It'll be up to you if you want the extra work, but for the manual, I have to take one for the team! These are the hanging knees. The truncated ones are the parts that will be fitted where the gun port would otherwise be obstructed by the longer part. Of course, each part also needs to be specifically shaped to its position. Plenty of spares are supplied. Here they are fitted, along with the lodging knees. And the fore deck beams are now added, with the optional knees also installed, followed by the boat beams. These also have optional knees. And here she is so far!! WalrusGuy, killickthere, CiscoH and 45 others 40 8 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

chris watton Posted September 22, 2022 Share #228 Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) The cannon balls are 2.5mm. These are the closest match I could get for the 24 Pounders, which work out to about 2.4mm balls, scale wise. All of the upper deck beams, with the exception of the boat beams, were originally done in 6mm MDF, but decided pear would be a much better choice. So each kit will have a big slab of 6x100x500mm pear sheet..
