Good evening everyone

 

all the pin rails throughout the kit are wrong so i have attempted to adapt the supplied ones,

my ordered paint arrived todat, so was able to move on with the stern,, this has now been panelled

im struggling tonight getting the balcony panels to fit, - yes i mixed them up in error (schoolboy error) the instructions didnt do anything to help the situation, although im not blaming them

Good evening everyone

 

the the after house is completed with the exception of the aldis lamp front (lost for now)

 

lots to do but some of the work will be delayed whilst i replace some of the lost/used bits, annoying but my fault

Good evening everyone

 

this cabin i think is called the chicken coup, no idea why, and i dont think chicken are involved i still have to purchase some smaller portholes to finish it off and paint itIMG_7129.thumb.JPG.8e606cef3375c503e20efIMG_9312.thumb.JPG.1ec61d609ef836d447dd5IMG_9311.JPG.0654bf8e7926ffa9e86dfcb64c4

the fwd house has had to be scratched, as it kind of exploded, after several attempts to salvage it i gave up and made a new one, not brilliant but looks ok

good evening everyone

 

thank you for comments and likes

 

the forward wheel house is still getting attention, having learnt to solder on the bluebell build it has paid dividends on the brass canopy

the raft for the midships boats have been made up, still to be painted

good evening everyone

 

 

i redid the derrick mast, 40mm to long was something that was going to look a bit stoopid, one on the right is the correct length

IMG_9389.thumb.JPG.e93d34c3540401d465b1b

 

the funnel has been stripped back of colour 

IMG_9358.thumb.JPG.6ee692b5970f38e005122

 

the stern railings are now in position, although the capping has still to be sanded down 

IMG_9393.thumb.JPG.031f137de3c19d3e5bddd

the stern lifeboat davits have also been made up and inplace but not fixed

You do not realise how big she will be until we see you holding the hull with all the masts and rigging she will look amazing.  👍

its actually a fun build as well, i need a mast in early to check the revised rigging works, as i am hoping to make my own rope on this one, also will allow me time to get some aerly practice for making the sails from scratch

 

i am try to achieve this

good evening everyone

 

as i progress through this build i am deviating more and more from the instructions, and spending more and more time on research designing and making my own bits

good evening everyone

 

i have been fairly quiet on the build in the last week, the 2nd AZ  Covid Jab really knocked the stuffing out of me, but glad i had it and im fine now

 

it took a while to do the port side ladders but i need to work them out, i think they came out ok 

 

the name will have to change soon, the rivet counters dont like the colour, suggestions are welcome

 

IMG_9810.thumb.JPG.3b43244262700d59096a2

supports pin the platform to the hull

IMG_9812.thumb.JPG.a1e8ecc4ea2f5b1af4b99

in reality, these would work, but the pins would have to be replaced with a hinge/pivot

IMG_9816.thumb.JPG.27dd9e1fcb0e993bc774f

IMG_9817.thumb.JPG.2e48242183eb77bce0482

making the stanchion supports brass tube in a rotary drill and scored using xacto blade

 

IMG_9849.thumb.JPG.9ec987e555b21c86a1ce9

made 4 of these not sure how many will be used gangway tent cages

IMG_9867.thumb.JPG.9951e3aef0615c5dc4791IMG_9870.thumb.JPG.f35ed0decb65f337f9c34

then did the same for the after ladder but this one in the stowed position

good evening everyone

 

most of the two lowered stbd side accommodation ladders are complete now, hope to finish them tomorrow 

as the port side was a test, these went together much better and faster and in my eyes look better

 made a set of jigs to ensure the platform supports were the same size,

lol its the danger time when i say to myself is it time for a redo of the port side

good evening everyone

 

well the 4 accommodation ladders have been taken to about 95% complete still need to be rigged and adjusted 

IMG_9926.thumb.JPG.1355d875dfaf2a215e554IMG_9948.thumb.JPG.d2d3df5057f1ff946ae7eIMG_9950.thumb.JPG.2408e8d964199c52bdbe1

 

i need to get the bowsprit in now, before i do any more hull work, as this has now become a scratch build i want to make sure everything fits

over a couple weeks i set the chains and rigging to make any adjustments required, then yesterday i ripped it all al out to set it all in place, im quite happy with how she looks, lol just so painfully slow
