#6 HMS Victory

Just been reading between the line (issues) about what's coming up, mainly the upper gun deck gun ports. I read here the inside of that deck will be planked which means the lining of those gun ports may have to wait..but do they?

Just thinking aloud.

Now I'm happy after my little concerns over the position of the middle gun deck ports I will be cutting those out hopefully this weekend and prepare for the lining. As there is a more of an angle to them I may get my new tool out and prepare the mantels and lintels with the correct shape, use both from the same stock, just reverse the mantels and use 'em for the lintels..

Going back to the upper deck and the planking inside, the knees (thise parts sticking out that hold the deck) could be prepared, and this by the looks of it was white, if there is any one who thinks different please join in.:)

#1 HMS Victory - 29th March 2010

HMS Victory is started, partworks magazine over 2 years.

May as well start my diary even thought I probably wont start the main hull untill all the parts are available.
My list of things to do before: (notes to myself)

29th March 2010
1- Construct 12 Pounder. (attempt to add more detail/remake)
2- Clean anchor and construct as per Longridge's plans, paint black.
3- Prepare building jig for hull.

30th March 2010
Just bought the paints from Shipwright Shop @ £25, plus 3 different types of Cyanoacrylate (super glue), thin, medium and thick, total so far £38
Then onto Cornwall model boats, Aliphatic Rapid Glue Giant 500ml @£7.60, some riggin tools (which is needed first for the Bounty) cost there is £11 for both, and final Microsnips (Rigging Snips) @ £4, I think I'm in for an ear bashing when they arrive, still I have at least 5 days to come up with an excuse.

With a long 4 days weekend I can finish the shed and start setting up where I left off a few years back, I'll tell ya the Bounty has taken longer to do than her being built, sailed around cape horn, burnt, 2 films being made and many models produced.
My aim is to have her finshed by christmas 2010..mmmmm
