And here is the start of doing some interior hatches etc. The red wood on the hatches is bloodwood.

Here is the ebony and holly strips I made to deck the great cabin floor

as well as placing the hatchs and starting the planking of the deck.

The deck planking is boxwood.

Hi Rusty,

 

This is a beautiful build!

 

Could you tell me what type of wire you used for the hatch cover ring bolts?  Is it black wire, painted, blackened?

 

Also, what is the inside diameter of the rings?  I've seen documentation for the size of ring bolts used on gun carriages, but never for hatch covers.

 

Thanks,

Robert

Current Build: HMS Mars

Hi Robert and thank you.
 

The wire I used was craft wire. It was copper wire clad with
a black covering. I believe it was around 24 gauge. I measured the shaft I
wrapped the wire around and it was .054” (a little under 1/16”) so the rings
should be pretty close to that. The size of the rings is just what I thought
looked right and not taken from any measurement. Thanks again.

Augie you’re being too modest! I’ve seen your work and it is
very good. Besides we both have the same teacher. :D

 

Ok here are some more pictures.

Rusty,

Seeing this again is just amazing.  I'm with Augie.. I'm going to Toys-R-Us and look for either an erector set or Legos.  Super nice work.

I had to sleep on it to figure out the checkered floor.  I finally 'got it'.  That one photo peering through the quarter gallery and seeing that floor is .......priceless!  I've only actually seen that once on a ship and it was HMS Victory when I walked her decks in '79.

 

Glad my Syren doesn't need that.  I'd be stuck going to Home Depot and trying to find 1:64 vinyl tiles :P  :P

 

REALLY well done and presented.

Hi Augie, You had to sleep on it. It kept me awake nights! Also I think you have to special order

the tiles! ;)  Some day I hope to get there and walk her decks too.

 

Here are deck beams with the camber cut into the instead of bending to shape.

Nice cutting of the curves on the deck beams.  In my yard, brute force and superstition would have been used to bend them into submisssion :10_1_10: .

 

I'm not going to ask if the stove works.

 

The great thing about this log is that, after almost 2 years on MSW, I'm beginning to see how things should be done.  That's not to say I could actually DO them.

Hey Rusty, great pics, your capstan, bitts and pumps are seriously beautiful, hope I can do half as well using the laser cut parts as you did scratch building them.
