HMS Victory 1:72 - Caldercraft by Gilbertm

[Gilbertm]

Hello friends
Short update on the build.
I have assembled the steam trunk, bitt pins and installed the quarter deck which is now ready for planking.

While preparing the quarterdeck, I realized that I forgot to include wires for the lights behind the screen assembly. I'll be able to adjust this, using the wires that are currently on hold for the stem lanterns. Good that the poop deck is not yet installed.

Pictures below




Let's now go and start deck planking

I have assembled the steam trunk

I realize this is probably a translation situation, but I am curious to know which part(s) is a steam trunk on the Victory? I know it can be crazy with translations of old English words for various parts such as the example of gun carriage trucks translating to camions instead of roue or roues en bois.

Thanks Gilbert.

In the spirit of competitive gambling, I am placing my bet on the beakhead bulkhead. However, it was not an easy choice.

Hey Allan
I had built both the steam trunk and the skid beam assembly and realize that I forgot to mention the later in my previous post. My bad.
Anyway, regarding the steam trunk, this is the term used by Caldercraft in the instructions; I have no clue of its purpose and anyway, it is hidden under the quarter deck.

Thanks Gilbert. This was more out of curiosity so not a big thing. Reading the instructions though I am more confused and more curious
Merci encore
