Tallshiptragic Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share #181 Posted April 9, 2015 That's one heck of a career, Anton. (I envy you !!) Haha thanks Steve. It's not a bad career I suppose. I get to work on a tall ship, but as I'm supply, I don't have to stand watches don't miss that at all! Just to let you know, we have our last day sails of the year tomorrow arvo and over the weekend then that's it for the season. We're off to Monkey Mia and shark bay for two months next Thursday and once back, pretty much straight into refit for three months over winter.

BANYAN Posted April 9, 2015 Share #182 Posted April 9, 2015 Great job indeed Anton! With too many years in as an OOW and Ops Room Watch keeper among other duties myself, I can empathise with (and feel envious about) the no watch keeping - That would be an unforgettable and life changing experience on a true sail ship and as you say, what a great asset to your modelling. Winter? in WA??? (HA!) but a great chance to recuperate and many more hours to apply to your model Enjoy the cruise to those wonderful sites. cheers Pat CaptainSteve, Omega1234 and mtaylor 3 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...

Tallshiptragic Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share #198 Posted April 12, 2015 A close up of the helmstation, showing all gauges, compass and the red plaque shows the recommended rpm for engine speed - dead slow, slow, half and full ahead/astern. Also added the ships builders plaque which is on the vent hatch of the chart house and a memorial plaque which is on the starboard fcstle bulwark. The memorial plaque is in honour of one of our original volunteers Norman Shorrocks who would act as a custodian when we were at our home port in Fremantle. He would act as duty officer for the ship when in port to give the permanent crew time at home - currently we use a roster between us for duty when alongside - and was always full of stories and would also do anything for anyone. mtaylor, Dimitris71, IgorSky and 6 others 9 Quote Anton T Current build 1/78 Sovereign of the Seas - Sergal - kit bashed 1/72 Arleigh Burke class DDG flight iia/iii - Sratch built RC - no log Waiting for further inspiration STS Leeuwin II 1/56 scratch built (90% completed) Previous builds - completed 1/72 HMAS Brisbane, Airwarfare Destroyer 2014 -Scratch built RC - completed 1/64 HMS Diana 1796 - caldercraft kit - completed 1/75 Friesland 1668- mamoli kit - completed 1/96 HMAS Newcastle FFG 2011- scratch built RC - completed 1/75 Vasa - Billing Boats - completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallshiptragic Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share #207 Posted April 13, 2015 She's really coming along, Anton. John Really nice work, as always, Anton. Well done. Thanks guys. Just attached a couple more shots of the painted pipe work along the bulwarks. For those not in the know of the colour coding for marine pipe work. Brown is fuel oil (diesel), grey is grey water (sink water and showers), black is black water (sewerage - both treated and in treated) and light blue is fresh water. Also found out, during refit we will be getting a completely new helm station... Damnit haha All new internal components and the station itself. Hopefully it will be to the same design so I won't have to change mine - though I can just date the model to after 2014 refit but if it is different I'll most likely change it. The current one is the original as when built and a little nackered.
