garyshipwright Posted March 1, 2014 Author #303 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks Tim, Robin B, Alan and all the likes. Tim I do have to go to the store and buy grog every couple of days, those guys can put away some grog thats for sure. Robin as far as I know the cranks or brakes were made to be locked together when needed and stored when not. Most show it because its a nice detail to show. As far as the scupper holes they probably could have done a couple of things. From most of the research I have done on them they probably had leather flaps on the outside that closed off the opening for most of the smaller scuppers,acting like one way values, and at least for the pump dales scuppers, on the inside fitted with bucklers, flat boards to prevent water from coming in, along with the leather flaps on the outside. From what I can tell most were made up of wood lined with leather or lead pipes that seem to have a curve in them or be at a 25 degree angle from the deck to the outside hull. The plans that are shown at the NMM shows the pipes as being curved and made in two parts to be hooked together. I remember reading about discharging straight on to the deck which would make sense being that there was more scuppers that the water could flow to. Did come across one plan and it had a plug that they used to plug up the scupper with. If you want to look at this it is plan number ZAZ6880. Maybe it was used to help keep the trash out when they were doing field day.Hope this answer you question Robin.

garyshipwright Posted March 2, 2014 Author #306 Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks Robin, Michael, and Pat. Its allways nice to hear a good word from you folks. Robin the ideal came from Daniel Victory build, HMS Victory by dafi - To Victory and beyond, in the kit section, who deserve's the credit on this one. If you go to post 157, page 11, he will show you how he made up the bucklers for the end of his pump dales. The bucklers make a lot of sense since thats what they used around the hawse holes and am sure they kept out a ton of water. The other thing about them is it would help lock the ends in place so the pressure of the water going out would keep them from moving all over the place, much like turning on a water hose and not holding on to the end of it.

SJSoane Posted March 2, 2014 #307 Posted March 2, 2014 Gary, Beautiful, as always. I noticed the tubes between the pump cisterns. I hadn't seen that before. Very nice! I still don't know where my helm port transom is going. I'll keep looking at yours very carefully as a source of inspiration. Best wishes, Mark Quote Current build: HMS Bellona 74, ca. 1760, 1:64 http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/196-hms-bellona-by-sjsoane-scale-164-1760-as-designed/
garyshipwright Posted March 3, 2014 Author #308 Posted March 3, 2014 Your very very welcome Robin Hi Mark and thank you. I ran across the tubes between the pump cisterns while researching their make up. Doesn't seem that not all of the cisterns had two dales per side. As far as your helm port sir, am sure you will figure it out. One difference I noticed is that I ran my stern timbers all the way up and you cut your's off at the quarter deck. I found this easier getting them align and hope that when I finally get around to this part that they will help me get every thing stright and level.

garyshipwright Posted November 15, 2014 Author #321 Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks Mario and Dave. Mario your so right sir and work has kept me away from Montagu but I do look in on the site, to help me get through those times when there wasn't enough time to do any ship building. Things have eased up a bit the last month and have been working on the stern and the thirty two pounders which have all been installed and have a few more tackles to make up for them. In the mean time the stern upper and lower counter curves have kept me busy trying to get their curves just right. Seems every time I thought I had it right, found a part that didn't look just right and tore it off just to redo it. To me if those curves are not right your eyes lets you know, and every thing else is built upon those curves. So getting them right was high on the list. A make or break sort of item. Some thing that helped was the ideal that I got out of Davids new book the fire ship comet, the quarter gallery berthing piece on page 111. He talks about how he mount this on Comet so figure I would try it. After making 3 of them, I finally manage to make a port and stbd that fit the bill and this in turn help big time in getting her upper and lower counter curves to lay proper. In the process the top plank on the lower counter was a little shy on meeting the rail of the lower counter and had to make a new one. Not glueing the planks in place and held by a small amount of glue on tree nails made pulling it off a lot less nerve racking. One thing about building up the curves of the quarter gallery is figuring out the curve of them. But there is hope for finding their curve at least the one I came up with. English plans only show one pattern for this curve and that is on the quarter deck level, but is bigger then the ones that fit the upper deck. Taking their size off of the stern and sheer view and using the quarter deck pattern one can get it real close in size, which I do believe Montagu is just right. Sorry about the long delay in a up date. Gary NMBROOK, WackoWolf, gjdale and 20 others 23 Quote HMS Montague/Alfred class by Gary B 74 gun ship built in 1779

garyshipwright Posted November 16, 2014 Author #329 Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Thank's every one and all the likes. Alan the planking on the stern it self is ebony and the curve was not to bad, but when I tried it on the bottom pieces of the quarter gallery, no matter how much I soaked and heated it, it always seem to break, so I switch to pear and blacken them to match up with the ebony. One thing for sure it turns every thing black. Brian hope that the build will help you along in yours. Thanks to Mark there is some photo's of the Warrior model in the Gallery of Contemporary Models from Museums and Private collections that he has taken of the model and the best thing is he takes them through the eyes of a model builder. Should come in real handy thats for sure.
