Kevin Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share #758 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Good evening everyone, England, autumn and it wained today, lots of it, not had much at all of the wet stuff ever since the new roof went on, back in august well spent most of today in the man cave, hoping to achieve much more than actually did the bow-spit is in and wont be coming back out, pinned in 3 places, the gammoning stops has become a real pain, i made them over a year ago, directly from the plans (well that was the first stoooopid mistake), because when i came to fit it all together they didnt line up with the access holes, and as a result the lines were at a angle, and as the bow-spit was fully fitted i had to do it in situ, 5 times a plum line did not help that much as there is not a clear route to get it to work i think i have it sorted now and will retry the rope work in the morning Edited October 5, 2014 by Kevin mort stoll, GuntherMT, augie and 4 others 7 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.

Need more of this! Half the time whist reading along in people's logs I get completely lost with all of the different terms and names for parts that get thrown around. Having a picture/illustration pointing out the location of these parts and what they look like helps (most importantly for me at least) how they then relate to other parts and the ship as a whole. Sorry about being a nautical noob, but diagrams like this really help me clear things up in my mind's eye. Model Ship World... THAT I read for the pictures...

NMBROOK Posted October 12, 2014 Share #779 Posted October 12, 2014 Hi Kevin Your build is coming along great I wouldn't worry overly about the dust,I keep dusting mine off with an airline and blow gun,but the PCB/computer cleaning aerosols from Maplins work just as well if you don't have a blowgun for the compressor. Regarding the hammock netting,have you thought of using thin brass wire through the cranes and tying the netting to that.Just a suggestion,but I would of thought it would have made things much easier to keep straight and uniform.
