DSiemens Posted May 21, 2013 #121 Posted May 21, 2013 <Gaaasp> Not really metal!?! Paper and insulation!?! ... Sounds like perfect miniature materials. I've been meaning to get my hands on some insulation to do some cannons actually. I just need to find small enough wire. Great work Mark.

j21896 Posted May 21, 2013 #124 Posted May 21, 2013 Hi Mark, Very nice work! I just turned to paper for the bands on my pumps too. I'm glad to be in such good company on that. Robert Quote Current Build: HMS Mars
mtaylor Posted May 21, 2013 Author #125 Posted May 21, 2013 Thank for looking in and the gentle comments. I'm not so gentle to myself. I think that if this were 1:48, I'd go with metal. With 1:64 or smaller... paper works best for me. Luckily, I didn't tear down the mill setup.. I'm cutting more blanks as I'm not thrilled with the output. Figured out the lathe needs a tuneup. Such is life.

mtaylor Posted May 27, 2013 Author #127 Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks for looking in John and Lawrence. Seven pump housings and 10 spears later... I'm ready to fix them into place. The photo is just for position only. I went with cherry on the spears as think that once they age some and darken up, they'll provide a nice contrast. I'm still debating on putting the operating ropes on the two aft ones. Now to start figuring out the capstan...

The Alfred or maybe the Billy Ruffian is on my bucket list, though. Aldo and Micheal, Perhaps the best way to explain these pumps is with a video...
