These first two pics should have been in Part 11, they just show the process of filling and sanding.

BEWARE! There is a mistake in the instruction video. The 'L' shaped desk you see above is incorrect the 'L' should be the other way around. It was a simple fix to flip the part over and add another top.

BEWARE AGAIN! There is another couple of errors in the instructions. To be fair the error is noted in the instruction video comments.
WS9; it should be WS4
WV3; it should be WS8

The staining on the beds is mostly done with cold coffee.

Here is one of the errors in the instructions which I did not pick up on. The 6 vertical spars should have been square in shape not flat.

Cutting the powder cartridges with my little chopper!

I painted the ends using an acrylic paint pen.

Gluing these parts in place was quite challenging.

Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Tony

Here I tackle the construction of the lamps in the Hanging Magazines. The folding tool I used to fold the bars in the doors earlier seemed to cause a bit of interest with other modellers so I decided to show the process I used to fashion these parts.

A point to note here, something I did not pick up on until I came to glue the LED's in place. The clear parts have a protective film on both sides, this needs to be peeled away.

For certain bending tasks required me to use my Tamiya Bending Pliers.

Hi, I'm following your excellent work; I'm also building the Victoy Anatomy. I wanted to ask you the name of these pliers, but I can't find them. One more thing: did you use a magnifying glass to install the hinges on the doors? They're so small that I can't fit them with the naked eye. Thanks

Hi
They are Tamiya Bending Pliers. Any good hobby shop should stock them. I used cheap high magnification glasses. Here in Australia you buy them over the counter at Chemists (Pharmacy) in different strengths eg -1, -2, -3 etc.
Thanks for the kind words.

More work on the Orlop Deck. Just to add a bit more visual interest I added some scratch built bits and bobs to the desks and some timber where the saw horses are. Not meant to be anything in particular (maybe the books) but it does make me smile. And I couldn't resist taking a photo of one of the plans from "The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships" printing it out and dropping it on top of one of the racks. Carpenters need plans Hahahahahahahah


The hole cut for the knee.



























Thanks for looking.

Continuation from previous post.














I did not want to buy more paint so I mixed uo the dark brown from these two Tamiya paints I already had and applied with airbrush.















Next up, ropes and posts.

Thanks for looking.

Some nice little touches there Tony

Good morning Tony. What a cool model being constructed immaculately. I love all the little extras- kudos. Cheers Grant

Hi Tony,
I am not trying to be flippant but what/where are the bow ends? This is a new term for me.

Thanks for posting the photo of the acrylic paint pen! I love acrylic paint pens for a number of things, including making panel seams on silk span sails.

Thanks Alan, this was a first for me, I had always heard this as just the "bow" or "forward end". Live and learn.

I finally got some time and wanted to check out your build. Excellent quality work. Love the extras.
I always think about doing extra stuff but then get wrapped up in just the usual stuff.
I’m really enjoying your work.

Thanks HSB. Good to see all the ideas other modellers use. Going to do the lights in the Orlop deck today.

Hey. My name is Jim. When I enrolled I overthought it and went the HSB but for you guys it’s Jim. Born in Canada and married a GA girl. Cheers

Won't forget that one, my Grandad was Jim! I was born in England but moved to Australia about 30 years ago.

Posts, beams & lights.


To make this post the instructions would have you carve the piece from one piece of timber. I thought this was an odd way to do this. I simply glued one strip to another strip and rounded off the edges. Much easier.







Onto the white posts. I temporally fitted the beams as I wanted to check the heights of each beam accordingly. I found that there was half a millimetre here and there to adjust.


The tool for making the round profile worked well. Much better than the one for grooving the beams.


Getting posts square.






rope in place, but I did have a mini problem. I attc hed the rope with CA, all was going well until the rope started to turn white. Luckily I managed the remove it without too much damage. I changed tack for my second attempt and used Tacky Craft Glue which worked well.


At this point I dry fitted the lower gun deck and test fitted the masts. All was fine. Perfectly in line and the rake looked OK.




Onto the lights. This deck was a lot easier than the hold. I had learned a lot from that experience. I made much more of an effort to deepen and widen the groove and I used some other wire I had purchased. It was slightly wider than the supplied wire but it was pre-tinned which was great. I think the wire used in the kit is 32 gauge, this new stuff is 30 gauge. Also it was a breeze to strip using my thumb nail. Happy days!









Thanks for watching.

Well done with the soldering Tony
I know you have struggled with it previously

Hi, great job. If I can afford some advice, to create the groove I used the cutter (I have a Proxxon M70), I work faster but above all more precise and clean. What 30 gauge wire is it? Purchased where? Thank you and good work
