AntonyUK Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share #122 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Hello Shipmates. A long due update on progress. Have completed the pumps. Photos from many different angles. Have spent some time looking at the cannons and how too produce 16 of them. The cannon barrels.. I decided to cast my own using black resin. A silicon mould was made first using the master. First part (not yet finished.) First part (not yet finished.) Second cast. note the vents . had air bubbles in so carved vents in to release air bubble. Cast with the master/Plug. Carriages are made. I used 2 types of timber for this as they will look pretty. The large piece in the middle is the jig that will hold all the parts together while drying. Should hold then at the correct angles. This will be my next job assembling the carriages. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

AntonyUK Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share #128 Posted January 20, 2014 Hi shipmates. Floyd. The plug or original is Acetel bar turned using a lathe to get the correct profile. The trunnions hole is then drilled and a brass rod inserted. Paddy. The cannon barrels are cast using black resin. I made a two part mould out of silicon and added the vents after by cutting a small "V" in the mould. Found lots of examples on Utube I have been experimenting with the excess resin on casting very small bits. Turns out to be very easy.

AntonyUK Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share #132 Posted January 30, 2014 Hello Shipmates. Another update for you. My first attempt at a companion way. Starting the deck fittings. Opps.. the dam companionway slipped.. Tables and benches ready to go. Another on of the benches. Cannon carriages and tools made up. cannon carriages close up. Home made rope is a little stiff for my liking. More deck fittings Middle deck taking shape. Another view of middle deck. Carving wood for the entrances. Core timber is Lime with 2 types of veneer laminated on top. Pear being the top one. Image put onto carving surface. Used Acetone on paper printed with a laser printer. Found out that the surface timber has to be really smooth to do this. This is my sixth attempt at carving this piece of door... That’s about it for now. Thanks for looking in.

AntonyUK Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share #134 Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Nigel. It was cast in while making the mould. Thinking after seeing someone else's cannons I am seriously considering casting then in pewter. I have found buttons on with the cypher GvR and crown. Only 10 mm across. Might remake my master with the cypher in and other small details added. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

AntonyUK Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share #136 Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Nigel. I have used this for my resin casting RTV Silicone rubber with a shore hardness of A40. Have ordered some pewter from EBay . I will have a go at casting them next week if everything goes to plan. Regards Antony.

NMBROOK Posted January 31, 2014 Share #137 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Antony Thank you.I was unsure if the RTV silicon could withstand the temperature.I know you can get the stuff that needs putting in an oven to cure.I have casted with resins,but not tried Pewter yet. Kind Regards Nigel AntonyUK 1 Quote Currently working on Royal Caroline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonyUK Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share #138 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Nigel. Yes I am aware that some will not withstand pewter. But the type I have is ok for 20 to 30 casting before mould starts to degrade. I chose this one because it's a harder silicon rubber and more stable. Regards Antony.

garyshipwright Posted February 5, 2014 Share #148 Posted February 5, 2014 Hi Antony. Good job on the midsection sir and will be watching how you lay out all the equipment for the cannons. Will give me some ideals for Alfred. On a different note , can any one tell me what that odd looking stove is in the second picture please? It looks like a up to date smoker and have not run across this untill now and was wondering if it was around in their time. Gary.

According to Haynes workshop manual of the Victory.It's got a hand operated bellows on the underside. Have decided against casting the guns in pewter. Will continue using the black resin casting.
