DenPink Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share #241 Posted September 5, 2015 Hi Pete You are correct in putting a nail in the dummy blocks before gluing to the deck. We all put nails in the deck furniture ie bitts etc before gluing don't we. I should have realised I should have done the same thing with the dummy cannon blocks. I will put nails in the remanding blocks I have to fit. Thank you Pete for your advice I do appreciate it. I know what went wrong, when I put the CA glue on the bottom of the blocks they moved so I had to move them back by this time the CA was just about dry, this became the weak point. If I had a nail in the block they would not have moved. Again thank you Pete.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted September 5, 2015 Share #242 Posted September 5, 2015 Hi Greg It is Ok we all have to redo things it is part of model building :) . Denis. You are sooooooo right! Be there, done that on numerous occasions. I've told myself "this is the last time." It's a bummer when I don't listen to myself.

thomaslambo Posted September 5, 2015 Share #243 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) This is one of the primary reasons why I follow build logs...as a first time builder I've been sweating bullets about how to avoid this issue as some of the items I'm gluing down now would be the devil to reach and reattach. First I was thinking Epoxy, but now I'll use pins to secure them as well....thanks much Edited September 5, 2015 by thomaslambo Brian the extraordinaire, mtaylor and DenPink 3 Quote Boyd Current Build - HMS Bounty - Artesania Latina - Scale1:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenPink Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share #244 Posted September 6, 2015 Hi Thomaslambo In hindsight I would use a pin + Epoxy, I was lucky it happened now and not when I had the second planking on.

DenPink Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share #245 Posted September 10, 2015 Hi all As I did not make the stove I only did the chimney that comes out of the forecastle deck. I did add a lip to the top of the chimney. I thought that I would also add some rivets to the sides. I got some PVA glue and mixed it with some flour to give the PVA some body (thicken the PVA up). I know the photo looks bad but it looks Ok in real life if you know what I mean ha-ha. Well it is only about 16-17mm high. Denis.

maggsl_01 Posted September 10, 2015 Share #246 Posted September 10, 2015 Hi Denis, nothing wrong with this photo - and even less wrong with the chimney top. Perfect work on such a small detail... Seems you are some kind of artist I am getting mad with all the rings and clamps to fasten the rigging later with my Endeavour. The plans dont help in a way I would expect... So its difficult to find the right place to fix the clamps.

DenPink Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share #249 Posted September 13, 2015 Hi all Just made the bitts and fife rail. Just dry fitted, now will take it apart and clean it up. The belaying pins are 12mm but may change them to 10mm ones. Denis.

DenPink Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share #250 Posted September 13, 2015 Hi Brian The plans don't call for the main mast fife rail to have belaying pins. But I am sure it must have had them. The kit supplies 14mm ones. I think I will go with the 10mm ones. But if any one can help please advise me.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted September 13, 2015 Share #251 Posted September 13, 2015 G'day Denis When I was on the Endeavour replica, I measured the belay pins and they were 24 inches-600mm. That correspond to 6.5mm at 1:72 scale. I hope this helps. I know it's different ships and not exactly the same time.
