Sailor1234567890 Posted December 16, 2013 Share #243 Posted December 16, 2013 Where does someone find the time to build something like this? I have enough trouble fitting in an hour or two here and there to put together my plastic model. These ships took years to build in real time. Hundreds of workers for years at a time. You have the same number of parts to fashion, do the work alone yet still manage to assemble these works of art in something under a lifetime..... Amazing.

guraus Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share #244 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Hello all, Thanks for the comments and the interest in my build. Here is a small update with the progress on the main capstan. Not completed yet but so far I've done the spindle from a square piece of boxwood on the lathe. Next I milled it for 10 whelps on lower deck and on the middle deck 12. The lower deck drum has 12 square holes for the bars. Initially I wanted to do it from two pieces each milled half of the bar thickness as you can see in figure 7. The problem was that the two halves didn't mach so I was unable to align the square holes. So I did the next best thing - cut the notches deeper only on the lower half then glued the upper part which was a simple disk. The groove on the top of the drum was fitted with an ebony ring milled to fit and glued in place. This is all I've managed to do so far but I'll continue tomorrow. Thank you Alexandru Edited May 2, 2014 by guraus Jeronimo, fatih79, lambsbk and 11 others 14 Quote For all my builds please visit my site at: http://www.AlexShipModels.com Previous builds HMS Victory Machine a curer les ports La Jacinthe Japanese Fune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guraus Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share #248 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Hello all, Thank you for the great comments. Here are some more progress pictures. Still not done yet but closer now. I am glad now that my indexing attachment can be set to any of the 360 degrees of a circle as the upper drumhead has 14 holes for bars. Which means almost 26 degrees but not exactly, so 10 angles were 26 and 4 - 25 degrees. I can't find the closer ones anymore. Un the second picture the black ebony ring with identations is a replacement of the metallic piece used to block the pawls. It was inserted in the fixed part of the capstan - biggest disk in the right of the third picture. Then I have to make the fore capstan...

Sailor1234567890 Posted December 29, 2013 Share #264 Posted December 29, 2013 WOW. a 1:48 HMS Victory. Awesome work. In the full scale boatbuilding threads I usually follow and contribute to, we have a "Standard reference for scale". It is known to many as a "beer bottle". Gives us a good idea of the scale of things we're seeing in a picture. Maybe some scale reference would be nice to see how big she really is. Great work. Look forward to seeing her progress.

guraus Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share #265 Posted December 29, 2013 I've done a bit of progress on the lower deck: the "head" of the two chain pumps. Sailor1234567890 - as for the "beer bottle" scale I used a Pepsi can as you can see in the last five pictures. Hope this helps.
