augie Posted October 26, 2014 Author #1367 Posted October 26, 2014 A fresh breeze has come up slightly abaft the beam and we're once again underway. A quick update on some minor items. Ladders have been fabricated and installed in the 4 companionways leading down from the gun deck. Some eyebolts and rings have also been fastened on deck: A series of 10mm cleats were also added to the bulwarks. They are all pinned with wire to prevent surprises down the road. The scuppers were also added along the waterway and exiting through to the outside of the hull: We will now begin work on the guns, first mounting the bulwark eyebolts for the gun tackles and breech lines.

aliluke Posted October 28, 2014 #1378 Posted October 28, 2014 Looks great Augie - precision work. My little eagle eye picks up one point. On your hatch coamings the box joints look good but the fore and aft ledges should sit on top of the port and starboard ledges. Your coamings flip flop with some fore and aft ledges on top and some port and starboard ledges on top. Picky for sure and I wouldn't change it but a note for the future and for others following. Then again I could be completely wrong! and you are following accurate plans for these parts. augie 1 Quote Cheers Alistair Current Build - On Hold - HMS Fly by aliluke - Amati/Victory Models - 1/64 Previous Build - Armed Virginia Sloop by Model Shipways Previous Build - Dutch Whaler by Sergal (hull only, no log)

Then again I could be completely wrong! and you are following accurate plans for these parts. Your point is very well taken, Alistair. Took a closer look myself and yes indeed, they are inconsistant. The plans are correct. The fault is totally mine. Since the hatch coamings are installed down through the decking onto the false deck, I will not attempt to change them at this point --- but this error shall never be repeated due to your eagle eye. Thank you for your close attention. mtaylor 1 Quote Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956
