MONTANES by Garward - OcCre

[Garward]

Deadeye from a kit are replaced: the bottom deadeye with a diameter of 5 and 6 mm from a pear covered with a black pigment

 

[Garward]

Deadeye are connected to chains.

The deadeye and chains are prepared for installation: are tried on on installation sites, are truncated, the ends are riveted.

 

[Garward]

In the ends openings under fastening to the hull are drilled. 

 

[Garward]

In chains I applied jeweler mills to drilling of openings.

Garward,

 

I'm amazed at the improvements you make, time and time again. I can re-read your build log and each time I find something else I forgot, and remind me to keep it in store for when I'll need it - since it will be vaporised from my mind, I'll be reading your log again ...

Hi, Carl, thanks for the comment!

The bottom deadeye and chains fok-masts, the left board are established.

Cable - "template" for the direction of installation of chains.

Quite a few changes in the channel deadeye placement, as well as chainplate nailing angle. Much better arrangement then from the instructions.

Hi, Keith, thanks for the comment! Work on replacement in itself not difficult, but long and tiresome. There is a lot of these channel deadeye   

[themadchemist]

You couldn't use the instructions if you wanted to, as some chains dont even meet at their bottom deadeye in the instructions.

Like the 3 on the left.

Looks like you had to more the whole channel sternward also.

[Garward]

Yes, we had to focus not on the instructions, and the finished model, such as this http://www.modelismonaval.com/galeria/category/100-navio-qel-montanesq-salvador-pallares-ruiz

There's a NICE patina on the copper on that one.

Beautiful, its good to have models for reference over instruction.

This model shows Montanes in the state since 1805, when its bottom covered with copper plates. From 1794 to 1805 years Montanes in the bottom of the copper plates was not.

As assembly plates, and also anvils, etc. measures of hardness for Brinell (НВ), applied to calibration (checking) of devices well are suitable for measurement of hardness of metal: steel tiles of the set hardness with one polished (non-working) and one polished plainly - parallel surfaces. After the working polished surface is used (it is covered with very superficial prints of balls), measures become unsuitable to application for the intended purpose and jump out scrap metal. Some such used measures with a hardness about 400 НВ (for steel very high hardness) and well ground non-working surface, I "lifted" literally from a floor and I use for construction of models (see, for example, photo on the previous page). Possible sources of measures of hardness - all industries where devices are applied to measurement of hardness of metal: various laboratories of mechanical tests of metals other.

Garward,

 

I can't find those blocks on the floor anywhere ...

[Garward]

Hi, Carl, I too found them not in any place, I was lucky: at institute where I work, devices for hardness measurement are used

Bottom deadeye and chains mizzen-masts, left board are established into place.

 

[themadchemist]

Looks very good, Garward.

[Garward]

Hi, Keith, thanks for an assessment! 

[Garward]

The bottom deadeye and chains mizzen-masts at day lighting, the finishing covering isn't put yet.
