Barbossa Posted July 3, 2015 Share #481 Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Ray, resuming of my shipbuilding activities is scheduled for next autumn. Meanwhile my Diana is begging for accomplishment. So when I'll tackle the lifeboats and the rigging I'll simply follow your inspiring example. (Sometimes) life can be easy... Superb job Ray and mort stoll 2 Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #487 Posted August 3, 2015 The Display StandBefore building the Pinnace I decided to build the display stand, I very much liked the one Mobbsie built for his Aggy so I take no credit for the ideas or the design, so its my version of Mobbsies stand.

Ray Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share #489 Posted August 17, 2015 The 32ft Pinnace I built the Pinnace in the same way as the other boats, but did the decking differently, and a bit of white lining on the paint job, on the sides, to make the boat a bit more like the Captains boat,, I have really enjoyed building these boats, so much so that during my next project I am going to build some more at a larger scale,they will also be painted as they were in service, as this added to the boats protection on long voyages and will also be carval built as supplied to ships in service not in the channel. 1st planking holes cut to make breaking out inside easier 2nd planking grating keel added ribs deck and grating fitting out painting Finished boat Beef Wellington, Shipyard sid, GuntherMT and 12 others 15 Quote Ray Current build A set of HMS Diana`s boats @ 1/48 HMS Royal Marine a Military class Trawler Completed HMS Diana Completed build The Lady Nelson Completed Build HMS Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #507 Posted October 13, 2015 The anchors were made up I used some split washers for the rings and added the puddening and used black tape for the iron bands,the overall look of the anchors are fairly good,they were then fitted in place.I then went right through the rigging and made a few tweaks and a bit of re-tensioning (as photos below)and tidying up,only one job left adding the boats.
