Recommended Posts

Just to keep you up to date

This is only fairly rough painting to get a base before doing it very carefully  B)

That is roughly what the hull will look like

Just hopefully a lot neater  :D

I hope everyone had a great Christmas day  :dancetl6: 

I did an hours very rough painting to the deck today to see if I had the idea right after seeing a photo of a real deck

 

post-3712-0-59031800-1388089303_thumb.jpg

 

So what do you think ??

As I say it is very rough and is just to get a coat on ready for some accurate painting

Not much of the actual deck will in fact be visible  B)

You are saying that it is rough painting.....

You can say that !

It looks like the jar of paint has exploded !!!!!!!

Colour looks good when you do a fine job with the painting......

I also notice that when i magnify the picture, the hull needs an other layer of paint....I see white stripes.......

Yeah spot on Sjors

It was purely to get some paint on the wood so it dried right in and hopefully only will need one careful coat now

I also wanted an idea how the colours matched

I should get it painted properly in the next day or two

Mick,

 

That you've got a new popcorn machine...ok.

That you are going for fishing........ok.

Ok, working hard now


Or trying to


I am finding it a little difficult to understand the instructions


 


post-3712-0-89561100-1389455019_thumb.jp


 


Assemble rudder and attach with fittings to the sternpost   :huh: 


I guess I will lay everything out in front of me and hopefully it will become obvious   B) 


And this is supposed to be a beginners kit   :o 


 


Ah well I got all the time in the world


Well actually I don't have a lot of time at all, but I will be getting on with it   :piratetongueor4:    :dancetl6:

I have every confidence that you will figure it out, sometimes good to step away from something for a time, have a cup of tea or something stronger :), then get back to it with a fresh perspective.

 

Best of Luck.

Rather a senior moment posting Will stuff on the Endeavour log

 

A will repeat what I posted over there though

 

I have had bad news from my oncology doctor

It may make my work very sporadic in the future, we are not sure

While I can though I will put as many hours as I can into my builds

I will be concentrating on the Will as I have said earlier

 

I have a slight problem

I cannot work out what and where a part goes

The part is the one on right shown as being on the centre line towards the back

I have a couple of good photos of the stern deck of the model but I cannot see that it might be

I really haven't got a clue

There is so little information in the instructions and I cannot make it out on the plan

Any idea

 

I may carry on and see if I can work out where it fits in

 

I am about to start the construction of the deck parts and finish painting the rudder

 

 

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Looking again, could it hold the wheel????????????????????????????????

Mick, by any chance is it meant to be the ships 'trottle' or Telegraph? if so then it will be very near to the Ships Wheel or Tiller !.. hope this is of some small use.

Hi Mick,

 

Sorry to hear about your bad news, I hope it works out for you.

 

You Will is coming along nicely.  Here's hoping you are well enough to work on it.

 

I can't help with your unidentifiable parts but does the parts list give item 21 and F39 a name which might give some clues.

 

I wondered if you would catch on to my comment in your Endeavour log about twin rudders :)  

 

Cheers

Slog

Extra to last post.. There is a piece in front and slightly to the left (Port :)) of the Binnacle, it sits on the deck and it's top is obscured by the forward ships boat lifts, but you can just make out a silvered 'bar sticking up (it appears to stick up from the ships boat but I think it is from the Will's deck)

This is probably your 'item', and as it is so close to the Wheel it is most likely the Telegraph, though in a slightly awkward position.

Hi Mick,

 

Sorry to hear some things....

Take care of your self my friend !

 

I think that you are right and it is for the wheel......

Not for the winch, that one has a different shape.

Thanks all

I am almost 100% that it holds the wheel

 

Anyway I have done a bit

Here is the painted rudder and the pulley that holds the dropkeel up

 

post-3712-0-92072700-1390061239_thumb.jpg

 

And here is a pulley/cog system that sits at the front

 

post-3712-0-85626800-1390061291_thumb.jpg

 

I have painted the main sides with the red that is on the hull

I am now debating whether to paint the pulleys etc grey or black

As far as I can see they seem to be painted in the colour of the upper hull which would be grey

 

We shall see

Well today I seemed to work for ages getting very little done  :(

 

post-3712-0-36985300-1390154948_thumb.jpg

 

I got one of the vents made

Something I am not sure about that's curved and got bits stuck on it

Another bit I haven't got a clue about that attaches to a gear at the bow

And I fixed the rudder on

Nothing got painted

It seemed to go on forever and nothing was getting done

Tomorrow I am at my club most of the day but may have a couple of hours to start more of the deck furniture

We shall see

I did manage to get a bit done after my club

I don't like to work too late as the Admiral and I like watching a bit of TV together 

Anyway I managed to almost finish the largest piece of deck furniture  :) 

 

post-3712-0-73344400-1390244888_thumb.jpg

 

I managed to do all the edges

All it requires is a couple of roof windows

I will need to paint it some before doing those though

I am working hard now  :dancetl6:

She's coming along a treat now Mick.

Looking forward to seeing that piece painted and in position (is it what would have been the 'Main Hatch'?)

Thanks all

 

Managed not much time at all on the boat

 

post-3712-0-96407500-1390334294_thumb.jpg

 

I made and put in the window frames on what I think is a roof rather than the hatch

They will need cleaning up and then painting inside before the perspex is fitted

And I put together a couple of the plastic thingummygigs

They look bloody awful but hopefully with a bit of work and some judicious painting...............

 

Better news from the hospital

We saw my oncology nurse and she said that the new drug they will put me on if the course of chemo does nothing has had some very good results

Not just that, they have been long term remissions, so at least I have something to look forward to

Ok it may not work for me but the chances are good

Well pleased

 Hello Mick pleased to hear that your nurse is optimistic about the possibility of a new drug. I think a positive attitude goes a long way too. 

The structure you  are working on is now the main cabin but was originally the main hatch , but at that time it would not have had a roof but a series of removable boards and a canvas cover which would have been  battened down in bad weather. There would have been  no portholes or sky lights either . The plastic thingies represent containers which contain inflatable life rafts. A must have when carrying passengers  but  not required when the crew consisted  of two men, a boy and a dog. Who knows when they added the iron sail(  inboard engine) When built back in 1925 the fleet of steel hulled  Everard barges had provision for engine but at  that time none were fitted.  just out of interest did Billings fittings include a propeller? Thanks for sharing your progress.

I am a complete novice and I'm building this Will Everard as my first model. I've been plugging away at this for about 10months and am just about at the stage you are at - so coming across your postings today is absolutely brilliant for me. Reading that some one with so much experience is struggling with the instructions has cheered me up no end. Some of the deck fittings seem like a nightmare and the masts / rigging utterly daunting - so will be watching your progress.

Finding putting the rudder on v hard.

Thanks

Joe
