Jerry Posted May 16, 2015 #633 Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Hello Glenn. You must love your new baby, the lathe.. The results from it look crisp and true. I don't remember having the problem trying to get a square peg in a round hole. Did I do something different? Who can remember? In any event, you are really coming along so nicely and all your work looks to be top notch. I am a NY Ranger hockey fan and I'm about to watch them as they begin a crucial series towards the Stanley Cup with the Tampa (Florida) Bay Lightning. I have a hard time watching the game on TV because of its speed but it's better than not seeing it at all. You are really coming along toward a top notch model...Keep up the great work..

Glenn-UK Posted May 16, 2015 Author #634 Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks Jerry, enjoy the game. I'm travelling to Manchester tomorrow as I have tickets for the Man Utd v Arsenal game. Quote Glenn (UK)
Shipyard sid Posted May 16, 2015 #635 Posted May 16, 2015 Hello Glenn Well done so far. You will find a few times that the masts will not feed through the blocks, just split the blocks and rejoin them . Keep enjoying it.DAVID Quote
Glenn-UK Posted May 16, 2015 Author #636 Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) A great Idea David, I hadn't thought of splitting the blocks. Fingers crossed the results go your way next weekend to keep Newcastle in the Premier league, hopefully we (Man Utd) can do you a favour by beating Hull next weekend.

Shipyard sid Posted May 16, 2015 #637 Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Hello again While I can remember, if you look at the photo ( Gil's) if you see the criss crossing thread , (don't know the name now) fit that now or before you start any rigging. It tells you to fit it later when it is surrounded with threads. The thread that fits onto it can just be tucked In between the mast and criss cross thread.

Glenn-UK Posted June 16, 2015 Author #639 Posted June 16, 2015 Its been a while since my last post, progress slowed up a bit due to some major developments at work, all will be resolved one way or another this week, either I'll still working or I will have taken early retirement (aged 57!). Anyway I have completed the hammock netting on the starboard side. I have also made the main and mizzan lower masts and associated tops. Over the next few weeks I plan to complete the port side hammock netting, complete the painting of the lower deck cannons and glue in position and complete the manufacture of the main and mizzan masts parts. mort stoll 1 Quote Glenn (UK)
Jerry Posted June 16, 2015 #640 Posted June 16, 2015 Hello Glenn... The Maasdam is just leaving Charlottetown, PrinceEdward Island as I write this. Weare heading for Sydney Nova Scotia where we will dock in the morning. I miss tinkering around in the dry dock but to tell the truth, the break is probably doing me some good. Unfortunately I picked up a bit of intestinal Flu and was sick for a few days but am feeling much better now. We'll be back in our house Saturday night. Your Victory continues to look beautiful. You are indeed a master model builder and I am happy to have been able to witness your skillls. The progress looks perfect and will net you a trophy model.

Glenn-UK Posted June 16, 2015 Author #641 Posted June 16, 2015 Glad you're feeling better and hope it has not spoilt you're holiday too much. And many many thanks for your kind comments Quote Glenn (UK)
Glenn-UK Posted July 10, 2015 Author #642 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Just a quick note, having been made redundant and deciding to take early retirement at the end of last month the build work ground to a halt as I started do some jobs around the house I finally made time and resumed to the build today. No pictures as I continue to complete the work on the lower fore, main and maiden masts. Edited July 10, 2015 by Glennard Quote Glenn (UK)
Glenn-UK Posted July 17, 2015 Author #643 Posted July 17, 2015 Work as been delayed on the Victory as I decided to build a 1/32 scale model of the Spitfire which is nearly complete, I just needs the final paint job. So today I finally made time and got around to rigging the two final cannons and 2 carronades. I just have to add 4 coils to the carronades.
