Rock_From_Korea Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share #211 Posted September 12, 2023 And finally, I put the rails in place. So, work on hull itself (or outer hull) seems to be pretty much done. Next will be the works vis-a-vis filling in the inside of the decks with various structures as well as cannons. Still long way to go until I can finally begin with masts and rigging. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, robert952 and 3 others 6 Quote Regards, Rock Current project : Golden Hind 1:48 scratch build Finished projects : HMS Endeavor 1:60 Corel, Korean Turtle Ship 1:64 Young Modeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_From_Korea Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share #212 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Hi all~ It's been a while since my last visit - have been tied up with something. Anyway, work on the upper decks continued. I tried walnut color stain for the ladder and it tuned out quite OK. Belaying pin racks are once again done using decommisioned hard wood chopsticks. Below are some progress pictures.

Rock_From_Korea Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share #214 Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Hello All~ It's been a long time since my last update! I had to take time off from the shipyard due to minor injury on my left hand. Now fully functional again~ So, I have restarted on where I left off. Continuing on the quaterdeck grating and whipstaff house. First, below are some pictures on the quarterdeck grating.

Rock_From_Korea Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share #215 Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Continuing on grating and some work on the quarterdeck knighthead(? not sure if this is the right jargon). My beloved IKEA drill is broken..... So, until I get a new IKEA drill (I intend to get another IKEA drill!), some work that requires drill will need to wait - some refinement to be done later on the quaterdeck knighthead(?).

Rock_From_Korea Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share #216 Posted November 20, 2023 I still feel a little bit clumsy with my left index finger. And as such, work is not as satisfactory as before. Anyway, for the whipstaff house, I just chose a simple (but robust) design. The end result is kind of cute and quite strong structurally. Below are the photos on this endeavor. The whipstaff house is not attached yet to the deck as I will need some space to work on the mizzen mast area and etc. Brinkman, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 7 others 10 Quote Regards, Rock Current project : Golden Hind 1:48 scratch build Finished projects : HMS Endeavor 1:60 Corel, Korean Turtle Ship 1:64 Young Modeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted November 22, 2023 Share #219 Posted November 22, 2023 Hi Rock A bit late, sorry, but are you sure there were belaying pins on this ship? The English Navy did not use them until about 200 years later than when the Golden Hind sailed so I would think they would never have been used on the GH.

Allan Hi Allan, I am sure that they did NOT use belaying pins during the 16th century! As I mentioned at the start of the belaying pin work in the forecastle area some time ago, I originally planned to use no belaying pins. However, looking at the sheer number of rigging that I need to do later, I decided to use some belaying pins. Just a bit of compromise between historical accuracy and ease of work on rigging. After trying this particular method for GH1 and if I figure out a way for tackling all the rigging without help from some belaying pins, I will definitely apply it to GH2 and beyond.

allanyed Posted November 23, 2023 Share #221 Posted November 23, 2023 For your next adventure, should it be from the mid 18th century or earlier, maybe study some of the photos of the fully rigged models on the RMG site for some ideas. Lees has belaying drawings for pre-pin ships as well that show where lines were belayed before pins came into use.

Rock_From_Korea Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share #223 Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Hello shipmates~ Final work on the decks contuned...slowly. Installed the rails for the quarterdeck and poop deck. Below are the pictures taken during the process - very similar to the forcastle deck rail construction, so will keep comments short.

Rock_From_Korea Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share #227 Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Hello shipmates! I am nearing the end of 1st phase (completion of hull structure) of the GH1 construction. The only areas left for the hull work are the installments of cannons and the main mast knighthead. I have included just a few pictures of the main mast knighthead as there were ample pictures presented during the fore mast knighthead construction. The main mast knightheads are not fixed to the deck as final fixing to the deck will be done after the cannons are all installed.

Rock_From_Korea Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share #228 Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) The cannon work begins with single blocks (without hooks) being attached and rigged to the cannon carriage. There will be no hooks attached to these single blocks as there are not enough space to have hooks on boths ends - won't have room for tight rigging. The double blocks that are connected to the inner hull wall and to the other end of the rigging have been constructed with hooks. The demi-culverins are installed in a slightly different configurations - 2 cannons fully deployed, 2 cannons on a stand-by positions.

Hi Robert~ Thanks for your comment! I blackened them chemically. I usually put the chemical in a small plastic holder and put it in a bigger container that has hot water in it. This way, the chemical process happens almost instantly and I can save time and the amount of chemical to be applied. Hope this clarifies~ Rock robert952 and mtaylor 1 1 Quote Regards, Rock Current project : Golden Hind 1:48 scratch build Finished projects : HMS Endeavor 1:60 Corel, Korean Turtle Ship 1:64 Young Modeler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_From_Korea Posted January 2 Author Share #232 Posted January 2 (edited) Happy New Year~! I have finished all the hull & deck related work last week. Instead of starting the mast & rigging work on GH1, I decided to work on GH2 for a while - plan to finish the hull & deck work on GH2 before resuming work on GH1. I plan to apply different style, deck configuration, colour schemes and etc for GH2. I will be posting the work on GH2 only on the areas that do not duplicate the previously posted work streams. Below are some pictures taken from the last hull & deck work on GH1. Also posted are some pictures with unfinished masts put in place.
