Greg the peg leg sailor Posted September 25, 2015 Share #181 Posted September 25, 2015 G'day Dave Great job/progress! Can't fault a thing. I've done my air and light ports on my as well......bloody tedious. I took a log of my times and would you believe it was 48 hours to make the surrounds and lid. I'm cheating with the hinges, they will be fixed and all are dummies. Cheers mate Greg Quote "Nothing is impossible, it's only what limitations that you put on yourself make it seems impossible!

Beef Wellington Posted September 25, 2015 Share #182 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Love the way your Endeavour is coming together Dave, very nice indeed. The walnut doesn't seem to have tripped you up at all with split/flaky edges.

DaveRow Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share #183 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Bit more work at the Shipyard. Chess Trees added. I could not source a 3.0mm dia. 1mm thick sheave, so filed down a 4mm dia. to suit. The first picture I previously posted showing the laminated CT. Other 2 Port & Starboard on the hull.

DaveRow Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share #184 Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Greg, I lost track of the hours on the ports. And still to make 10 of the smaller vertical hinges for the last lot, well I need to get my head in the right spot to do them. The mid sized ones should open. However since I didn't/haven't "pinned" the flaps to the timber, the glue joint comes apart if too much pressure applied. So they look like they open, they should, but I won't try them. Hi Jason, I had a couple of earlier problems with the Walnut splitting, esp. the tight bends. Lots of wetting and steaming was done. Just used what was supplied in the Kit.

DaveRow Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share #185 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Hi All, I made the trip to Sydney early this week to see the Endeavour at the Maritime Museum at Darling harbour. I had planned/booked to join the Endeavour as crew for the 10 day Sydney to Brisbane Voyage, but the trip was cancelled. So having the flight booked. I flew down and spent quiet some time on board, taking pictures, talking to the volunteers and generally getting the feel of the boat. It was a weird feeling, as after building the model to date, I felt at ease on board, that I was kind of home. Weird eh! Had a great visit.

DaveRow Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share #186 Posted October 14, 2015 Had the shipyard working on the Swivel Gun Stocks. The Starboard ones made and fitted. I used black card(idea from another post) to simulate the metal straps. Each was Super glued to the stock, as each wrapped around. I will follow on after the black painting by impregnating the card with the Super Glue to harden it up(hopefully from deteriating). Well I hope that will work.

BANYAN Posted October 15, 2015 Share #187 Posted October 15, 2015 She is coming along very nicely Dave, nice work. Thin CA before painting should do the trick - medium/thick especially may not penetrate especially after painting which may seal the card? cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRow Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share #188 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Swivel Gun Stocks. Well the shipyard pushed ahead and has completed the Port & Starboard Swivel Gun Stocks. Although in the haste, forgot to drill the holes in the top to mount the little cannon. Bad boy ! I'm happy they have come up ok. Pat. thanks for that PVA glue tip. I used a 50/50(PVA/water) mix that disappeared quickly(absorbed), and dry quickly. I have not painted the cardboard. Onto making the hinge sets for the aft cabin side shutters. Then will glue the decal on. Slow and steady... Dave R Edited October 20, 2015 by DaveRow Captain Slog, Beef Wellington, kiwiron and 2 others 5 Quote Dave R Measure twice, cut once.

Philthy Posted October 20, 2015 Share #189 Posted October 20, 2015 Hello Dave, Glad I stumbled on your very impressive build log and for being your first build I think your just showing off a bit It looks like the card stock worked out great for your swivel guns (I might have to barrow your technique). In the past I have used household aluminum foil folded many times and then cut to the desired thickness. I use this trick a lot when brass is called for simply because I hate fighting with brass. I think your idea using CA glue to seal the cardboard should work out just fine especially with a coat of paint on top. More than one way to skin a cat in the world of model ship building it seems. I look forward to following your awesome work. Quote Semper Fi, Phil "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet" General James Mattis USMC (ret.)

RGL Posted October 20, 2015 Share #191 Posted October 20, 2015 I left mine off for a long time to keep them out of the road. Looking very sharp though. DaveRow 1 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRow Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share #192 Posted October 20, 2015 Greg, Had thought to leave them off, however got to go on sometime. They are glued on with 2 Pac epoxy, like the rest of the whole ship. Very solid joints. Time will tell how they stand up. Phil, The CA glue(I used PVA, is that the same ?) was BANYAN(Pat) advice, and for now just left the card unpainted. It is a slightly different shade than the painted post. I follow a lot of the guys build logs to get ideas how things are done and see if can come up with other ways to construct parts. Good fun and rewarding. Dave R Quote Dave R Measure twice, cut once.

bmudry Posted October 20, 2015 Share #193 Posted October 20, 2015 Very impressive build so far! Great work on those tiny working hinges too!

GuntherMT Posted October 21, 2015 Share #194 Posted October 21, 2015 The CA glue(I used PVA, is that the same ?) Dave, CA glue is Cyanoacrylate, what most folks call 'super glue'. PVA glue is Polyvinyl acetate - this family of glues includes most of your white (Elmer's) glues and white & yellow wood glues. They are most definitely not the same!

BANYAN Posted October 21, 2015 Share #195 Posted October 21, 2015 No probs Dave, glad to hear it worked out well. I have left the swivels, anchors etc for the very last fit - as Greg stated, too easy to snag get in the way of the rigging. I am also leaving the jib boom for as long as I can for the same reasons. One of the last things I will fit are the delicate items such as the deadlights, quarter window shutters etc. cheers Pat Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRow Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share #196 Posted October 23, 2015 Hi Pat/Greg others, I agree, will have to leave the items that are loose/swing off to the end. Anchors, Boats, Cannons(maybe fit them up and glue in place ?) I should start to move onto the deck items next/soon. Get these tucked away in place then back to the outside/mast bottoms.

RGL Posted October 23, 2015 Share #197 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm of the belief of going inboard to outboard. Everything that can get in the way will get in the way once you start the running rigging, I did the cannons and boats as they had to be belayed/lashed down. Once the standing rigging in place it just gets harder to touch the deck. The anchors I did fairly much last, as they really snag everything but if you look at how I did the cables it was painful as I had to steer them around the rigging.

DaveRow Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share #198 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Hi Greg, Will concentrate on the deck items from now. All makes sense. I did push on over the weekend to get the Quarter Badge Deadlights made and fixed in place on the hull. I started the badges in April this year. I love making very small hinges , did I say that ? I am over them. I rebated the hinges on the deadlight so they did not stand out so much. At such a small scale, I found it difficult to make them smaller. At least the deadlights open, when all the glue is fully dry will snap a pic, post, then close them for the remainder of the build. The deck awaits the shipyard.

DaveRow Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share #204 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Some progress on the Windlass. I turned up the barrel on my home made lathe. The Bit pins & cheeks(ends) come apart to house the barrel, the cheek bottom held in with a brass bracket, the top with a brass bolt. Took a while to finely tuned the fitting to get the barrel to turn. I was surprised the figure heads came up fairly well I reckon. Only 2 days work. ! Next to add the pin rail, whelps, brackets etc. make the bell tower thingy. Mine will be something based on the replica, 2 posts. PS. I have yet to trim the ends of the barrel off, left them on for now. Dave R Edited October 30, 2015 by DaveRow kiwiron, ScottRC, Beef Wellington and 6 others 9 Quote Dave R Measure twice, cut once.

DaveRow Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share #210 Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks to all that have been looking in on the build. I was on the replica on the 6th Oct, took plenty of pictures to assist in details. Windlass Update, I have spent hours on this baby so far. The side Standards & Bit Pins are glued in place now. This allowed me to fit the pin rails to the Pawl Bits(the bell tower !) The barrel is 95% complete, fitted and turns in place between the Bits(pin & cheek) complete with brass bolt and nut to lock in place - for final lockup. Neat eh! Made up some pawls - bit rough but at this scale lucky to get them. Need to trim them back a bit. Still more to go - the belfry cap to finish off. Then onto more bibs and bobs.
