realworkingsailor Posted June 19, 2013 #129 Posted June 19, 2013 Nice work... but I'm just curious.. your topgallant crosstrees look like they should be rotated 90 degrees, the curve should be horizontal and aftward. Andy Quando Omni Flunkus, Moritati Current Build: USF Confederacy

Sjors Posted June 20, 2013 #133 Posted June 20, 2013 Hi Derek, Andy is seeing everything…... I think he watch the pictures with a magnifier But it is good that he seeing it otherwise you find out when you are at the rigging part and it is maybe more difficult to change things.

ocean clipper Posted June 21, 2013 Author #137 Posted June 21, 2013 That looks great Derek. Nice job on that gammoning on the bowsprit. Did you glue the rope a little? Hi sjors no i just kept it tight but i am going to brush some diluted PVA over it current build HMS Victory

Catch you later DAVID Only place i can put mine is where i am building it just change work top for a decent top,but i need somewhere to build whatever comes next,i do not think asking the admiral for suggestions on where to stick is going to be very productive current build HMS Victory

ocean clipper Posted July 2, 2013 Author #141 Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Hello Not much to show for my efforts of late,i have turned my hand to making the main mast yard and to imitate the metal band round the yard i have decided to use styrene which looks ok but i have a adhesion problem,Ca and styrene do seem to mix to well ok it sticks but after a while it unravels,i have tried holding the styrene down with clip but the chances of ant clip getting stuck to the styrene are big,so take clip of styrene comes of,i think you can quess where this is going so any ideas on clamping a round piece of styrene safely. DEREK Edited July 2, 2013 by ocean clipper current build HMS Victory
Yon Posted July 2, 2013 #142 Posted July 2, 2013 Derek - How about using PVA instead of CA ? It might be easier to avoid getting the clamp stuck .

Yon Posted July 2, 2013 #144 Posted July 2, 2013 I'm not sure - it sticks most things - might be worth a try.

chris watton Posted July 2, 2013 #147 Posted July 2, 2013 I would personally use thin card and PVA for all 'iron' rings for masts and yards - plastic can too easily come away from the part it's glued to. Kevin, freewheelinguy and ocean clipper 3 Vanguard Models on Facebook
Shipyard sid Posted July 2, 2013 #148 Posted July 2, 2013 Hello derek Yep good idea if styrene is a prob, card will be simpler as you know from the mast rings . DAVID
Shipyard sid Posted July 13, 2013 #149 Posted July 13, 2013 Hello young man Looks like Lawrence will soon be catching us up, how are you keeping. Decorator has been and gone, was here about 8 days. And we put the new laminated flooring down before he went. It's a doddle with two putting it down, but pretty awkward doing it on your own. So it's tidy up time, cut the grass and back to rigging blocks, I think!!! But only a few hours in the evening, it's to nice outside to miss it . Catch you later. DAVID
ocean clipper Posted July 13, 2013 Author #150 Posted July 13, 2013 Hi David yes you are right really hot nice though,just took all the masonary paint of a dividing wall in the garden gave it a once over with me angle grinder and sanding pad on it,lots of dust so i was not very popular with the admiral,knocked some mortar up and went over it all with a float trowell repainting it tomorrow,meanwhile butt on comfy seat feet on wall and hello cold beers. Not sure what temp is round about 30 (80) to 32 (90) DEREK current build HMS Victory
