Glenn-UK Posted June 29, 2015 Share #271 Posted June 29, 2015 It's just a strip a walnut, it is detailed in the instruction manual see the last para above figure 025 on page 42. 5mm length 0.5mm x 3mm Rich.F 1 Quote Glenn (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipyard sid Posted June 29, 2015 Share #272 Posted June 29, 2015 Hello Rich Well done, things are going well. The part for the gunport lids are 491 lower gun deck gunport scuttle hinges. When you come to fit your gunport lids check out their configuration before you add the hinges. The lids are wider than deep. You will see what I mean if you measure them on page42.

Rich.F Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share #277 Posted October 3, 2015 HI All, I have been slowly working on the ship, Shes coming along nice and er, slow. A few minor changes made, (not reading plans properly) Took a break from building as i was getting home from work and not enjoying the build as it was becoming more of a chore than fun, Plus its been a nice summer ( well as good as England gets .. and now the Rugby is on well !! ) ... The main problem I had was the gun port patterns (forecastle) 276, I made the error of not breaking out the bulkhead pattens 1-5 1-13,, and of course I have added the second planking etc, lets not forget the paint!!. I wasnt unill I placed the hand rails and the Snatch block (61) I realized my mistake ..........two weeks later........ The Upper deck is now finished and bulk walls in place, Im just cleaning up the build now touching up the paint etc, and going to work on... ( not sure).. must read the manual.. If any body want a copy of the manual i have them in a Word 2007 format. (to big to upload here PM me with you email if you like) Well thats it for now TC all. mort stoll, canoe21, Sjors and 1 other 4 Quote Rich.

Shipyard sid Posted October 28, 2015 Share #284 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Hello rich The area you point out I guess is infront of the snatch block. Part number 125 ( main rail timber head) fits in front of the snatch block, and the plank sheer part number 380 fits between the timber heads as does the fife rail. See page 28 -29 the beakhead capping assembly, photo 25&26. The fife rail assy part 405 tucks up to inside face of the timber head The timber heads need to be shaped.

Rich.F Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share #285 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. David Thanks again for you advice. soon as i have finished this coffee im going to head to the dry dock 10, and crack that whip out. Nick, being dyslexic, I at times find it hard to follow the Text instructions at times, I highlight some bits. etc But im ok if there is some pictures/drawing to back up, What i have trying to do, is mach on the plans what the part numbers are, then ( take look at other build logs) just to make sure its right, .. But also doing it my way to the best i can!.. I m going to work on this then, there is a holiday for a few weeks while I have 5 day course to do , and not looking forward to it !

Rich.F Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share #291 Posted November 5, 2015 Greeting everyone. Something I have been thinking of for a long while. I have had a personal chat with a Very Nice person (Ensign) I have brought this netting, A few pictures attached, Do you think this is a good size in relation. bear in mind it will be a diamond shape. Cheers Quote Rich. Builds in Progress: HMS Victory Completed Builds: Constucto Enterprise Future Builds 2021/2022 USS Constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjors Posted November 6, 2015 Share #292 Posted November 6, 2015 Rich, I know an answer but I cannot translate it !!!!!!! I will give it a go..... Bow section is one squire to high. Middle picture with railing is to small. Right picture........good one. What i will try to do is I will put the netting around the bracket things. On the bottom I will lay down a plank ( painted black ) then at the top I will stitch it on the wire that goes true the eyes.... is this making sense ??????????? And yes, it should be diamond shape Sjors Quote Currend builds: USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Victory by Sjors - Jotika - Scale 1:72 On hold: VOC Reconnaisance yacht Duyfken by Sjors - Kolderstok - Scale 1:50 Finished builds: HMS Snake (1797) by Sjors - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 Nuestra Señora del Pilar by Sjors & Anja - OcCre - Scale 1:64 H.M.

Shipyard sid Posted November 6, 2015 Share #293 Posted November 6, 2015 Greetings RIch This is what i was advised to use, which you may have seen mentioned on other logs. It's called tulle and is used for the likes of wedding veils. You might find it at. FABRIC LAND It costs about £1 a sq metre.

foxy Posted November 6, 2015 Share #295 Posted November 6, 2015 Hi Rich. 1/72 is a larger ship, looking at your first picture I would say that was a good representation for size. Diamond as you say. Stitched to a wood or brass runner across the top should look nice and neat. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompey2 Posted November 6, 2015 Share #296 Posted November 6, 2015 Hi Rich For my Vic netting I followed this calculation I estimated the 'pitch' on the real hammock netting to be approx. 8" square. At a scale of 72:1 that comes out at about 3mm pitch I guess the rope is about 1/2" - 3/4" Again to scale that is about 0.2mm hope that's helpful Nick Quote Current build USF Confederacy Previous log - HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompey2 Posted November 6, 2015 Share #297 Posted November 6, 2015 Another point of course is that the colour is natural. Quote Current build USF Confederacy Previous log - HMS Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensign Posted November 6, 2015 Share #298 Posted November 6, 2015 Hi Rich, The problem with Tuille, as I think you know, is that it is not a diamond shape. It is very flexible which is good but If the material you bought is not flexible enough you will have trouble with the Hammock cranes as it must form a U shape in order to cover both sides of the Hammock cranes. If what you have is not satisfactory and you can't find any Mosquito netting PM me with your address and I shall send you some.

The hand rails in the picture was the fourth attempt, did not like how they was coming out. I did start building the remaining Cannons today, as all was out for the day at home. (chores done first)..
