Kevin Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share #64 Posted March 24, 2013 708 hours It was nice to get back into the build, and continued where i left off last July. Im not sue i like the gun-port rope work, or maybe i should have painted the hinges the same colour blue rather than leaving naked, they might haved blended in a bit better. the brass profile above is just temporary as are the black deck boards kier and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

The windows on the right and left are also "naked" And the profile above, you let that one also naked?

Shipyard sid Posted March 25, 2013 Share #67 Posted March 25, 2013 Kevin At last back with your build in a new dry dock. I would just lift the gunport lids above horizontal and shorten the ropes which Seems to be the norm. Anyway welcome . Regards DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjdale Posted March 26, 2013 Share #68 Posted March 26, 2013 Kevin, Nice to see your build back. If you're not happy with the gunport rope work, you might like to try "splicing" them. I picked up this tip from Gil Middleton's excellent log. You use a sewing needle to thread the line through itself and create a sort of fake splice. It is actually really easy to do and looks great. popeye the sailor 1 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadchemist Posted March 30, 2013 Share #78 Posted March 30, 2013 Hello Kevin Just finished reading through your Build log and I have to say - how can one go wrong with Wabbits and F1. The workshop is as much a part of the build as the ship or tools, love your showing the details of setting it all up. I also like how you give times, Id be afraid to count the time. Does one include the amount of time staring into space and thinking while scratching your head? I think I have more of those minutes then actual build time. Nice job of your Victory (the ship and finishing the shop before Easter), Looking forward to seeing her grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share #79 Posted March 30, 2013 Good evening every one - and happy Easter, as it already Sunday in some places a lot of work done on the build - not much to show for it stbd aft chain channels have been dry fitted and all the decorative strips in-between then have been cut and fitted into place, then primed and painted black, i took some photos, but need to redo them again, not good enough to post, my new workshop has no natural light, so no detail showed up i am trying to best work out how to paint the stips as they pass through different colour bands popeye the sailor, kier and mort stoll 3 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Kevin Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share #87 Posted April 1, 2013 i made a mistake, but is not to drastic to put right and LOL it has nothing to do with no glass in the 1/4 gallery The chain plates the instructions with the kit are to say poor is an understatement, it basicly shows you the advantage of being able to close the loop like a nappy pin what is fails to tell you is the process for making them up it was not until i studied Keith Julliers explanation and looking at Gils photo's that i noticed that the actual plates then self s have to be separated into two or three parts, good god nearly had Murphy visiting my new workshop i have posted a photo to try and explain, the flashing between the links has to be removed and then build them in a link form i can see that there maybe builds that have incorrectly completed this task, and understand why JerseyCity Frankie, popeye the sailor and kier 3 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Patrick Haw Posted April 1, 2013 Share #88 Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Kevin, Good to see you back to building and making progress so quickly. Who need's Jotika's instructions when we all have each other? One question I have on your latest photo. The plans show the chain plates attached directly to each other and then to the plate that affixes them to the hull. In your picture you seem to have an additional "tab" beteween the chain plates and the piece at the bottom, and it looks like the completed chain plates are longer than those shown on the plans?

Patrick Patrick thanks for the reply, that's the point i was try to make, the plans don't show the tabs and the instructions don't mention having to cut the tabs out, im sure Gil would have mentioned this in MSW 1.0 , but i guess we are having to learn all the same mistakes again, Anyway, i am at present sorting the problem, channels are removable from the hull, and the glued link on the bottom of the dead eye strop is easily unglued, - no damage done, Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

ocean clipper Posted April 1, 2013 Share #90 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Hi Kevin yep the manual is cack when you get that part i agree,have completed my channels and dead eyes now,not the best chains i have come across poor quality,i found also when you put the strop in the channel i t was a struggle with the smaller dead eyes to get enough strop below the channel,to hook the chain,got ther in the end after a few choice words.I spoke to Gill over this part of the build and he just plain forgot to put anything about it on his log thast is why its not mentioned .DEREK Edited April 1, 2013 by ocean clipper Quote current build HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
