kiwiron Posted March 12 Author #127 Posted March 12 Thanks for the likes folks. Thanks a lot Dave, as good as I can do it but always something I could have done better. I was just getting better at the cannons when I got to the last one. Ron.

kiwiron Posted March 15 Author #128 Posted March 15 Start of the Lantern brackets. I thought the 0.7 wire was a bit flimsy but the choice of bigger wire was forced on me anyway by breaking off the 0.7 drill bit right in the centre of the lantern base. I had to use the 1.5 wire as the 1mm has gone walking. Trying to get the trophy of arms looking reasonable. One of the Lance heads broke off but the sheet under my work bench caught it.

Charter33 Posted March 16 #130 Posted March 16 Nice, very nice Ron. I found the bow and stern the two most satisfying stages so far.... Well done! Mr Whippy and kiwiron 2 Quote

kiwiron Posted April 5 Author #134 Posted April 5 Quarter galleries nearly finished. Just more brass profile to go, not my favourite so far. I gave up on masking tape for the black panels for between the windows so used some 0.5 x 3mm I had from a previous model.

kiwiron Posted May 5 Author #138 Posted May 5 Thanks Chris, not that good close up. Deadeyes done now for cooper eyelets and dry fit before starting on the brass profiles. Glue the channels later on.

kiwiron Posted May 8 Author #141 Posted May 8 Port side profiles done, more painting to do yet plus parts 180 and 194 to fit. Profiles did'nt line up the same way as the plans so I just did what looked alright. The plan measurements were different in reality to my Victory. I'll make the lids under the channels I need too before gluing the channels in properly and adding their supports. Avoided a few mistakes doing these, If I added my miss adventures to this build log I would be up to page 100 by now. Lots of exercise today bending down under the table, I have'nt dropped the knife on my foot yet but there's always tomorrow. ccoyle, Charter33, mort stoll and 4 others 7 Quote Current builds: HMS Victory - Caldercraft 1:72 Completed builds: HMB Endeavour - OcCre 1:54 HMS Supply - Caldercraft 1:64.

Charter33 Posted May 8 #142 Posted May 8 Impressive work Ron, and I too have had to make a few compromises along the way when trying to get things to line up and work out (approximately) as shown on the plans.....if only to preserve my sanity🤪. Sometimes you just have to accept things and move on. More often or not we, the builder, are the only ones who know....🤫😆 kiwiron, mort stoll, Bill Morrison and 1 other 4 Quote
kiwiron Posted May 8 Author #143 Posted May 8 Thanks Graham, I'm well short of your skill level, I love how you did your scrolls. I have had to accept and move on from quite a lot. I have still got the starboard side to try and make a bit better. I'm lucky people who see it think it's an aeroplane anyway.

kiwiron Posted May 15 Author #144 Posted May 15 Start of the lids. No thin wall brass the size I want for the lid ropes available in N.Z. postage from cmb to N.Z. expensive. Found some left over rudder chain for my lid rings the right size. I'm going to add the lids I need under the channels then fit those and the supports. Then the rest of the lid work.

kiwiron Posted May 18 Author #145 Posted May 18 Chain plates done on the Starboard side and lids just under the channels before fixing channels permanently. My channels were a touch too high, it's a bit of a compromise anyway. I covered all cannon port holes as I went. If you haven't done so already put a sheet under your work table makes it easier to find the dropped parts.
