More work on the hold items.

I decided to add to the items in the hold, so I scratch built a few boxes and crates and filled some with rope.

I read that there would have been timber for the carpenter to do repairs so I added a small amount just to add some more interest

The support posts have now been added. I ignored the instructions stating the length of each individual post and used the beams as a guide to measure how high each post needed to be. I didn't trust that my fitting of the internal planking and the rooms etc would be 100% accurate. So starting at one end of the ship I gradually added the beams measuring the length each post needed to be.

A dry fit of the Orlop deck confirmed the extra work was worth it.

Lovely work again Tony and some nice additions

Nice work Tony, glad my tip has come in useful. Good shout on the flour sacks

Great work Tony, glad my tip has come in useful. Good shout on the flour sacks but to be honest, that area of the hold I’d barely visible once the orlop deck is in place. Saying that, I still might do a couple using your method and get them in there with long tweezers or use them elsewhere on the ship

Thanks Alan. Ooooooo lights next

Hey Tony,

fantastic, keep it up. The tuning of the barrels and crates is really great.
The wood would probably not be so clever, as heavy wooden edges always have to come up, especially as there is a risk of moisture and the wood can then rot. But still a nice idea.

Cheers

Good luck with the lighting
Don’t forget to try to double up on each beam to cut down on the number of cables coming back. I found I had to cut a deeper groove than they suggest to accommodate the 4 wires as in the video

Thanks Alan, as we talked about a while ago I never really understood why they did this with the hold, I think they said because they had the room. I will heed your advice. and connect two lights in parallel to have only one set of wires. Talking about the grooves, did you have any trouble applying pressure to the beams as they are bowed. I'm hoping the wood is softer than the two planks either side of the top of the keel which were a challenge for for tp scrape cleanly.
Regards
Tony

Thanks Günther. Yep the wood was just an afterthought to add a bit more in there. I can live with that.

Hi Tony
The beams do spring back to shape once you’ve put pressure on them
I didn’t find it a problem

Hi Alan
OK great I though they would snap.
