Ulises Victoria Posted December 24, 2016 Author #545 Posted December 24, 2016 Christmas update! Hi all and welcome. I finished building and placing the several stairs that go from deck to deck. In those in the central deck, I (fortunately) realized that once placed, there was no chance to place and rig the cannons that go underneath, as you will see. So I had to build, place and rig four cannons that go under 4 stairs. Front handrail Above mentioned four stairs with cannons underneath. I wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017 to all of you, friends! md1400cs, mtaylor, marktiedens and 6 others 9 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Ulises Victoria Posted December 29, 2016 Author #550 Posted December 29, 2016 Thank you Arthur! I agree with you about the blocks. They often are too large and even if you manage to get them the appropriate size, they would be impossible to handle. mtaylor 1 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Ulises Victoria Posted January 7, 2017 Author #551 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Hello mates. Happy New Year to all my friends here. A small update: Started work on the belaying pin racks. (Those holes are more straight on the upper side ) I placed two small dowels to serve as anchors, using toothpicks and carving them to the desired diameter. For the belaying pin racks that go on the bulwarks, I placed two small brass wires on them. ...and stained them with walnut stain... Here is a little trick. I put a small drop of glue on the brass and touch the bulwark with it... The glue spot tells me exactly where to drill... These racks will never come off... I placed also the rings that go on theck to support the masts. Thats all for today. More work on the decks still to do, and oh yes... the cannons... gunport lids, open deck cannons rigging... still a long way to masting and rigging! Thanks for visiting!!! Best regards.

Ulises Victoria Posted January 7, 2017 Author #552 Posted January 7, 2017 Are you going to stain the pin-rail in the fore bitts as well? They definitely look better stained. Neat trick with the glue. I usually drill some holes in an off-cut of plank and use that as a jig, but the glue trick is probably quicker! Hi Arthur. Glad you like my glue trick I thought about staining the fore and mid rails after I saw how the other look, but I'm not too sure about doing it after they are installed. This usually gets more things stained that weren't meant to... mtaylor 1 Quote There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72.

Ulises Victoria Posted January 13, 2017 Author #555 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Small update and question. I finished placing these steps. Here you see them without and with a coat of boiled linseed oil as finish. My question is: I would like the guys climbing these steps to have something to hold onto while climbing. Any suggestions or ideas? I tried to place a wire handrail at the sides, but it was very flimsy and vulnerable. I think I've seen drawings showing a knotted rope just hanging there. Instructions say nothing on the matter. Thanks for any advise. Here they are being placed. You can see where I "shaved" the paint to get better adhesion. 2 of these little pieces go at the sides of the anchor davits. They will be stained before placement. Since this is a very small update, I will fill with photos of the general look of the 4 decks as they are at this moment.

mtaylor Posted January 14, 2017 #557 Posted January 14, 2017 Looks good Ulises. Knotted ropes hanging down is what they used. They were only deployed when the steps were to be used (ranking officers, officials, and dignitaries). The crewman used ropes hanging off the sides (but not the steps) or climbed out one of the gunports on the lowest row. Or at least that's the tale that I've read.

Ulises Victoria Posted February 17, 2017 Author #561 Posted February 17, 2017 Hello all. Small update but a big relief for me. These two little guys were causing me some nightmares, just thinking where they had to be placed AND rigged... ... right here, under the deck. Just thinking about drilling holes and placing eyebolts here... As you can see, I thought that adding the eyebolts to the rope before placing the cannons would make things a lot easier, and indeed it did. Finally, both of them were placed, glued and rigged. These two were first since they obviously wold be the more difficult to accomplish. 28 more to go, but they will be easier as they are not hiding under a deck or anything.

Ulises Victoria Posted February 25, 2017 Author #567 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Cannon assembly line update. (With special mention to Sjors and Anja ) First, a bunch of eyebolts in two different sizes had to be made. I am starting with these 12 cannons that go on the upper deck. Here, holes for eyebolts have been drilled Here eyebolts are glued and attached and coat of BLO applied Cannons in place. This is one of the rare occasions in which I use cyanoacrilate (Super glue) Here hinges have been placed A piece of rope tied to the cannon bell Process of tying the eyebolt Two cannons rigged These 12 cannons are now ready to be mounted. To be continued... I don't know how to remove a photo. This next one wasn't intended to be here Ahhh- The delete button is well hidden!
