Patrick Haw Posted March 10, 2013 #33 Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Derek, Thanks for the advice on cleaning up excess Evo Stick contact cement when coppering the hull. Your guns look good, she's starting to look like a real war ship now.

Shipyard sid Posted March 13, 2013 #34 Posted March 13, 2013 Derek Good grief !!!!!! So even WD40 did not work, well we have a breaker/savage yard here which dismantled those ghost ships if you recall. You could trying to book in there. Don't know whether do old trawlers and steam tugs. DAVID
Shipyard sid Posted March 15, 2013 #35 Posted March 15, 2013 Hello derek I seen your message on my log about the channels and the strops. I have read it is a belt and braces job and I am bit wary of pull out during rigging, I was not happy with the opening of slots, but will give Dave's idea a whirl and see how it goes. DAVID
Shipyard sid Posted March 16, 2013 #36 Posted March 16, 2013 Derek You are getting there, yes it's slow progress , and you will a lot happier when you start the gunports . I agree with you on close up photos of the paint work. Looking forward to you getting the chainplates on. Plod on. DAVID
riverboat Posted March 18, 2013 #37 Posted March 18, 2013 Too bad about the chainplates Derek............. I know it's frustrating to tear them out and do it allover again, but you'll be happier in the long run....... the Victory is lookin good regardless... .. I see what you mean about the paint on the close up. what kind of paint did you use ? Frank completed build: Delta River Co. Riverboat HMAT SUPPLY USRC "ALERT" in progress: Red Dragon (Chinese junk)
riverboat Posted March 19, 2013 #38 Posted March 19, 2013 sometimes those close up shots make things look worse than they really are, don't worry about it . are there any other chainplates available that you could use on your Victory? I'm surprised Jotika wouldn't have had some decent chainplates included with the kit. Maybe some of the other Victory guys can give you some advice. i'm sure you'll find a solution. Your build is looking good , so just hang in there with the chainplates. frank completed build: Delta River Co. Riverboat HMAT SUPPLY USRC "ALERT" in progress: Red Dragon (Chinese junk)

Shipyard sid Posted March 19, 2013 #40 Posted March 19, 2013 Hello derek I can see we're you are coming from on the strops. If the stem was longer it would allow the lugs to hook around the underside of the channel, and eliminate the widening of the location slots. I have tried artificers ( Dave's ) idea of widening of the slots and using a nail as a stop for the lugs, but it is obvious keeping the slots narrow is the most safe option. DAVID
Shipyard sid Posted March 22, 2013 #41 Posted March 22, 2013 Derek Well done, have you done both sides of the channels, and the brass profile, is that finished ?? I can see some profile is on..... Closing in on the gun port lids !!!!! DAVid
