augie Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share #1537 Posted January 2, 2015 As always, I appreciate hearing from everyone who has stopped by. Chuck has designed some really nice features and MS has done a really nice job on the kit. It would take me 10 years to scratch this lady and, frankly, I don't have the patience. But she teaches you a LOT.....information that will come in handy down the road. Dave --- I've often wondered the same thing over the years as I've toured various warships from this period all over the world. Maybe someone knowledgeable on the period can comment on how this worked out once she was cleared for action?

mobbsie Posted January 6, 2015 Share #1548 Posted January 6, 2015 Hi Augie, I really cant add anything to the plaudits you have already received, suffice to say that I totally agree with all of them. Regarding the Bulkheads when beating into action, all the bulkheads and cabin furniture were removed and placed below the waterline to avoid damage, this allowed a complete through deck for the gun captains and powder monkeys. Looking forward to further updates mate.

augie Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share #1549 Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks for the additional info on the 'beat to quarters' routine, Mobbsie. A whole different time line then what we think of today. I knew they put all the ship's boats overboard and I have also heard that on some smaller ships they would actually take the binnacle below. mtaylor, lambsbk and GLakie 3 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augie Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share #1551 Posted January 18, 2015 About time for an update. After playing around with different configurations (wire, wood, rope), I finally decided on using the photoetched stanchions and some line for the companionway railings. I'll use this throughout: The photo also shows a glimpse of the second of the aft bulkheads and the permanently installed capstan and pawls. The next 8 deck beams for the quarterdeck were also installed, including lodging and hanging knees: Finally, just an overall shot: There are several more decks beams to go in to finish the quarterdeck but first we need to prepare some deck fittings. gjdale, msberkman, jaerschen and 42 others 45 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
