mikec Posted July 19, 2015 Share #271 Posted July 19, 2015 Hi Grant, I have been so busy with my own build and focusing on the other Endeavour builds, I have forgotten to check on the other builds I have been following. When I clicked on your build I was amazed to see the progress you have made. You are doing an amazing job. The attention to detail is fantastic. You are becoming master craftsmen before our eyes.

gjdale Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share #280 Posted July 24, 2015 I've been away all week with work, but in my absence the Admiral very kindly cleaned up the hard disk so that I could upload my photos. So here is a slightly overdue update. Upper Deck Planking and Bulwark Lining The upper deck was next to be installed. Once again 3/16” x 1/16” Holly was used for the deck planks, with one edge darkened with a 2B pencil to simulate the caulking. I prefer the more subtle effect the pencil caulking gives. Treenails were fitted using the drill and fill method. The only issue here was that having done lots of testing for treenail filler earlier in the build I was a bit tired and was therefore too lazy to check back through the log to ensure I was using the right one, trusting to memory instead – big mistake! I subsequently used the wrong compound, and then had to re-drill before checking and then using the correct compound. I gave the deck a coat of Wipe-on-Poly to protect it from the inevitable “pink dust” that was about to be created with the Bulwark liner installation. Redheart was used for the Spirkiting and the Bulwark liner. The two strakes of spirkiting are 1/16” thick and the lower strake needs to be shaped to fit against the angled waterway. This was achieved in the same way as the waterway angle, by using a small hand plane. The upper strake was also angled to provide a smooth transition to the 1/32” thick bulwark lining. This upper strake also had to be cut to fit around the lower edges of gunports and sweep ports. After some consideration and discussion with my build buddy (Mobbsie), I decided to install “iron bolts/nails” in the Spirkiting/Lining using the same method of copper nails, blackened with Liver of Sulphur, as shown previously. Here is a picture showing the completed deck and the spirkiting/lining drilled and ready to accept the iron bolts. Once the bolts were installed and blackened, the sprikiting/lining was given two coats of Wipe-on-Poly. The following photos were taken after the first coat had been applied. The lighting conditions don’t really do it justice – it does look a little more red to the naked eye. mtaylor, Cap'n Rat Fink, NMBROOK and 18 others 21 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Vadas Posted July 27, 2015 Share #290 Posted July 27, 2015 Dammit Grant, where have you been hiding? I just found this build log . I've just had a quick look through the entire thing and I'm VERY impressed - Scratch Building is fun isn't it ? You've got my juices running again. I wasn't going to do another Full Frame model, but after looking through this log I've decided on another project after the two I've already committed to - a Cross Section of Vulture's midsection. This would make a nice accompaniment to her in the Port Macquarie Maritime Museum .

gjdale Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share #292 Posted August 2, 2015 The shipyard has been closed for most of the weekend as we mourn the passing of the Shipyard Supervisor, Sam the Chocolate Labrador. After a lengthy battle with pharyngeal paralysis over the last year, Sam was put to sleep by our Vet on Saturday morning. He went peacefully, in his favourite bed in the sun in our family room, with the Admiral and I by his side. We miss him terribly but remember fondly the 13 years of love and devotion he gave us. I thought I would share a few photos of my best mate and shadow for so long. Sam came to us as a one-year-old pup: It didn't take him long to work out that the most comfortable seat in the house was mine. Here he is, a couple of years ago, aged 12: More recently, at the grand old age of 14, he's had a young playmate for company and he's been very tolerant of her: They liked to share the sunshine together: I miss him like crazy, but will always smile when I think of him with those doleful eyes and the tail that never stopped wagging. mobbsie, cog, lb0190 and 10 others 13 Quote Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
