Anja Posted June 20, 2013 Share #392 Posted June 20, 2013 Hello Mobbsie, Wonderful job! And a big cheer for you But do be careful with all those sharp tools my friend. Otherwise you force me to buy a children's toolbox for you. That way you won't hurt yourself. Take care, Anja mobbsie and riverboat 2 Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Sjors Posted June 20, 2013 Share #393 Posted June 20, 2013 Great job Mobbsie! That's a lot of work that you have done! But it looks great! I think I bring my Aggy to you when i have her and when I'm at the stage of coppering But I have one question….. What are you meaning with those rounding on the plates? Overlapping ? Is there an other way then what you've done? mobbsie 1 Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

themadchemist Posted June 20, 2013 Share #394 Posted June 20, 2013 Nice job and FAST. Shame about the fall but lucky she wasn't hurt badly. and unluckily you may have a few puncture wounds but please don't try to break Robbyns injury record.

augie Posted June 20, 2013 Share #396 Posted June 20, 2013 CONGRATULATIONS, MOBBSIE A BIG job, very well done. I got out the microscope and see what you mean about the plates having rounded corners. But she looks fantastic. I would have had a heart attack if mine fell on the floor. A true tribute to your overall physical conditioning. Now, about all the wounds.

Ray Posted June 20, 2013 Share #398 Posted June 20, 2013 Well done Mobbsie I know how you feel, one thing I have found this time, is adding a batten around the edge of the tiles and fitting it first makes it much more easy to fit and cut in that last row of tiles. mobbsie 1 Quote Ray Current build A set of HMS Diana`s boats @ 1/48 HMS Royal Marine a Military class Trawler Completed HMS Diana Completed build The Lady Nelson Completed Build HMS Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobbsie Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share #411 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, I have a few pics of the progress so far, and not all is as it should be. The hull is painted and apart from constant touching up looks OK, I've started to make some of the deck furniture for the upper gun deck, such as ladders, capstan, gratings and the cooker. I am at the stage now where the guns should be fitted but I thought I would have a look at what needs to be done prior to that so as to minimise any damage, so I dry fitted the transom, it didn't fit. It was 3mm below where it should be and so started the refit. The balcony deck had to be removed and the whole transom lifted by the required amount, this then left a large gap underneath which then had to be filled. A plank was cut out using the spru as a template, this was then fitted into place and any gaps filled with filler, the whole thing is now finished and painted. One casualty which I didn't notice was the portside quarter window, the glazing had come away and had dropped halfway down, this has now been removed and I will glaze the actual window before fixing it in. One word of warnIng to all who are building the Aggie, watch that transom, do a dry fit before fitting the stern balcony and make any adjustments as necessary. Enough said, some pics. Deck Fittings Starboard Quarter View Starting to fit the bow cheeks. Portside Quarter View The whole Starboard side The offending Transom with balcony deck removed Another view, notice the port quarter window has moved. I now have to download some pics of the completed repair and I will post those just as soon as I can.
