Beautiful stuff, Mark.  Quick question about the second photo, principally where you’ve drilled and the resultant cracked frames.  Are they going to be a drama, or would they be covered up with the planking?

 

Cheers. 

 

Patrick

I noticed that also.  No drama here.  I'm thinking it's the weather but I'll take another run at it with the sandpaper as I may have missed it.  There's a few other spots now that I look closer that need it too.

Looking really good Mark, how did you make the windows on the galleries I must have missed that

I used a product called Micro-Glaze from Model Expo.

Geez. A lot of cannon shot passed through those frames. It must have been a very hot action! Your battery of cannon returned fire, I hope. They look good.

Nice work Mark. It certainly is a tedious part of the build, but wait for those 2mm blocks to be rigged ... you might reconsider ...

I'm going to ignore the 2mm blocks on the guns.  I've ordered 3mm and 4mm blocks from Chuck.  I hope the 3's work but I'll with the 4's if I have to.  What ever's left over will used for rigging (along with another order to Syren.  Very slow going at present so no pictures or updates until the cannon are in place and rigged.

Who would ever guess that those cannon would take so many parts? It looks so simple when it is all done; only the builder knows for sure! Looks good.

Thanks for the likes, the comments and the following along on this adventure.

 

The first 12 guns are installed on the port side with their breeching ropes.  The traversing tackle is waiting for some Chuck Blocks.  I've drilled the holes and installed the eyebolts for the when the traversing tackle needs to be moved to pull the guns in manually along.  Also installed were the eyebolts for securing the ship's boats.  Holes have been drilled for more eyebolts for the mainmast running rigging.  Those are also on hold until the blocks arrive as I'm not about to try to rig blocks to the eyebolts in place.  The breeching has been seized to the eyebolts but instead of the two seizings shown in various references, I only did one.   My eyes have begun crossing... and I have the starboard side to do yet.

 

There's a couple of guns not quite in perfect alignment with the rest but I can live with that.

 

I'm holding off on the deck furniture until all the guns are installed and all the gun tackle is installed.  I'm not going to go through the "oops, broke something" any more if I can avoid it.  For those keeping score... three carriages were broken in the pursuit of installing them and re-made from the extra parts I made.  Fragile little things they are.

 

Anyway, enough of my blathering on, here's the pictures.

Hi Mark

 

...Not deliberately taking the focus away from the guns, but, man oh man, seeing the photos of the hull has suddenly reminded me of just how good a planking job you’ve done.  Very nice, Mark, very nice indeed.

 

Cheers.

Thanks everyone.   Still working away at the guns.  I'm setting the last 5 into the hull and rigging the breeching ropes now.   I'm hoping to start mass producting and installing the traversing ropes and hardware maybe on Sunday.

I'm using the Birchwood-Casey Brass Black.  It's a bit of a pain in that it takes 2 dips and wiping down after each when dry.   I have a zillion (so it seems) eyebolts waiting for blackening which I'll use Jax Pewter Black for.   I kind of miss the old Blacken-it but I want to see how the Jax works.

Thank you for the likes and the comments.

 

Meanwhile back in the shipyard, the guns are all installed and have their breeching ropes.  I put in temporarily two markers for the ends of the quarter and fore decks to check for tolerances and to think things through more on the rigging of the mainmast.  So far, so good.  There should be about 12 or 16 eyebolts with blocks for rigging behind the mainmast but that's not going to happen so I'll have to move those lines up to the quarterdeck.   Next up is making and installing the cannon traversing tackle which will be fun but also a pain as the parts are so tiny.   I'm using 5/16 inch Chuck Blocks for these.  I thought about using the 1/8" blocks but they're too tiny for these guns.  Oh well.. maybe for the 4 pounders topside and also for some of the rigging.

 

Here's the photos...
