ianmajor Posted April 14, 2015 Share #965 Posted April 14, 2015 Daniel, Absolutely fascinating. I can see plenty of jobs there that risked trapped fingers and limbs. BTW I am a great believer in understanding how things actually work when making models. In my view it leads to better modeling - which your fantastic models clearly show. mtaylor, AndyW, Mexspur and 3 others 6 Quote Ian M.

dafi Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share #971 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) At the very beginning, I was desperately searching for crew. Still have the HÄT ones floating around some where ... ... but too big, too clumsy in form, too little and wrong positions ... ... then found the Preiser. First planed to make some and cast replicas - but first quite challenging casting in this scale and second, would have end up with a multitude of same positions. Now I know that the change goes quite fast and I can give them custom postures - just whatever their duty needs :-) Here some more pics from along the way. Last charge were too clean and were too lollypop-like on deck so I had to filthy them up in situ. Here the latest press with before and after, but remember, the originals are a mere 18 mm, this means the eye is more lenient :-) The last gentlemen is very serious about occupational safety - he got himself a jockstrap as the steel helmets to sit on were not invented yet ;-) Also some gents with an immigrant background are finally to be spotted, something documented quite often.

dafi Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share #980 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) The nice thing on a project like this is, that one can find so many small models that coincidentally gives a nice Vic. One of those things are the gunport lids, haven´t yet tried the lower gunport lids with the scuttles :-) First preparing parts and erasing the wooden grains and old fittings ... ... and think. First doubling for extra thickness. Did not want to cut the hole before assembly for positioning reasons. So made a steel stamp and used it first to give a color mark on the appropriate place. Used a 1 mm drill to give the depth and a scalpel for approx. shape and then used the stamp for the right form. Gives a nice and crisp edges and also flattens the bottom of the hole. Then used my etch parts ... ... the parts can be positioned easily, the split line for the scuttle was cut with scalpel and needle ... ... and first color test. Than tinkered the rings out of etch eyebolts and 0,2 mm copper thread ... ... and folded lovingly together by the help of two pliers. Still showed the planking , mounted the rings and imitated the bolts from the fittings ... ... and done.

dafi Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share #983 Posted May 3, 2015 Some more petiteness: The salt box for the cartridges ... ... used my etch monograms and pressed them with my vice into the wood to be more leveled, nice side effect is that they became less high :-) Glued the fittings and afterwards some red paint - careful, explosive! The buckets from Master of Buckets were wooden ones from the lath with brass eyelets and copper handles, for the small ones I wanted to try something else. 2 mm poly rod, drilled open and milled out ... ... and then shaped them with a conical device pressed into it. Then cut and filled with PVC and we have a nice water bucket for the small boy, that is supposed to have a wet wipe up on all remains of powder on the floor. Then I realised - too much space - pillars were missing ... Tja und dann etwas bemerkt: Soo viel Platz war da gar nicht Mal, denn das dafi hatte in seiner großen Weitsicht noch nicht die Stützen platziert ... ... so I had to replace some of the stuff Two more shots for the subject: red salt box for the cartridge, round transport case, wad, multi purpose water bucket and a barrel with slow burning matches in case the flint lock does not work, everything as far off the guns as possible. In P. the wads are hanging in a netting in between the hammocks, I omitted that, as there was not enough space for that.

Izzy Madd Posted May 3, 2015 Share #986 Posted May 3, 2015 Just a query about the salt boxes and brass monograms. While I'm sure I've got more than enough thanks to your kit.
