AntonyUK Posted December 10, 2013 Author #96 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Hello shipmates. Another long update :- Spent a little time making a ropewalk. but this one is a little larger than the Philips shaver on I have used before. The shaver would not stand twisting the heaver ropes that I wanted for this model. The parts are from Ebay. Approx 2 hours to build. A simple servo tester, A cheep brushless speed controller, And a brushless motor. Gears used ..1 off 60mm dia 58 teeth, 3 off 20mm dia 18 teeth, 1 off 14mm Dia 12 teeth. Yes I have used miniature thrust bearings as I has them in my storage box. That’s about it for the Ropewalk. Now for the Build A test of the Tulip wood and the different types of caulking that I am using for the deck planking little loop on the wire ends for the Led lanterns to hang from. Wire hidden in the wood. Cut a line with the razor saw then push the brass wire into the slot. Main Gundeck in place But not glued. Bits missing are left out to enable deck to fit between the frames. View from the bottom. Completed Deck with out planking.(bottom view) Completed Deck with out planking.(top view) some of the furniture ready for assembly. close up of Joinery. Odd photo Completed Deck with out glue That’s it for now Enjoy. Thanks for looking in Antony.

michael mott Posted December 10, 2013 #97 Posted December 10, 2013 Antony, your skill is evident with the fact that you can hold up that deck and it is just good joints that are holding it together.

Jeff-E Posted December 12, 2013 #101 Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Antony, I like your rope walk machine very nice, have you tried it out yet? I am currently trying to get some gears to make a serving machine, never thought of good old EBay. Your workmanship is superb as always the chain pump housings look fantastic. Have you figured out a way to make them operational yet?

AntonyUK Posted December 12, 2013 Author #102 Posted December 12, 2013 Hello Shipmates. Thank you all for your kind words Jeff :- No I will not be making the chain pumps operational .. The model area will not be visible when in its display case. Just made the deck support piller's for the Orlop deck. Will fit then with the deck tomorow and post a update of the main gun deck in place. Then it's the planking of the main gun deck. Looking forward to using the Tulip wood planks.

AntonyUK Posted December 16, 2013 Author #103 Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Hello Shipmates. Another update on my progress. Main Gun Deck is now fixed into place with no errors Started to plank the Deck with Tulip wood. Very nice looking wood. Deck now fixed onto the bulwarks with knees fitted. Photo looking up at the deck from the underside. All the planks cut to length and drilled at ends only for treenails. Waterways in and now ready to plank.. First planks laid. Will post another update when Gun Deck is complete. Thanks for looking in. Regards Antony.

yvesvidal Posted December 16, 2013 #104 Posted December 16, 2013 Amazing Anthony, simply amazing. This is going to be such a large cross-section. At this scale, you can envision using some of the numerous and available figures at 1/35 scale to populate all these decks. Fantastic job. Yves Quote

Its a possibility I will have one gun crew of figures. I will use Warhammer Empire Gun crew Figures. Another Update. Test the tree nails in the Tulipwood. The Deck drilled and ready to Tree nail. Tree nails in and cut but not yet cleaned up Very close up of the Holes ready to treenail. Another close up. Quite happy with the result Will finish the other side and sand the deck then I will post the completed Deck. Regards Antony.

Jeff-E Posted December 21, 2013 #110 Posted December 21, 2013 Hi Antony, Looking good, it should look great once you have nailed it. Which treenails are you using the light or the dark ones? Great job Quote Cheers Jeff Current Builds; HMS Supply Completed Builds; AL Swift 1805; Colonial Sloop Norfolk; HMS Victory Bow Section; HM Schooner Pickle
AntonyUK Posted December 21, 2013 Author #111 Posted December 21, 2013 Hello shipmates. Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement Jeff -: I used the dark stained ones as they look as if they were more predominant to see. Half the deck is done just got to do the other end. Remade the pumps as I was not happy with the look. Regards Antony. egkb 1 Quote Best advice ever given to me."If you don't know ..Just ask.

AntonyUK Posted December 24, 2013 Author #114 Posted December 24, 2013 Hello shipmates. No update on this post ... I have decided to have a go at carving the Captain's entrance to the victory. I have watched numerous video's on Utube on how to do wood carvings. Janos's page of carvings are a real inspiration to me. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/501-carved-figure-heads-and-decorations/ I just need to find some close up photos of the entrance to start. Basswood is my choice of timber being a novice. May I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very good new year.
