Artesania Latina Anatomy of Lord Nelson’s HMS Victory 1805

Instructions video #28 completed

In this part I prepare and fit various details on the middle gun deck including gratings, shot racks and shot, stairs to the lower gun deck, capstans, the galley aft of the stove area and the ward room pantry towards the stern. The following photos should be self explanatory. One issue I did have was that the 2 capstans coming up from the lower gun deck protruded too high through the middle deck for some reason, so I had to make some adaptations so the middle deck capstans sat at the correct height. Finally in this video I file out a groove and enlarge the hole at the bow bulkhead to test fit the bowsprit for fitting in the future

Hey Allan,

What pictures, and what a treat! I'm so happy to hear from you and read your posts. :D Simply wonderful. You're building the HMS Victory beautifully. I'll take a leaf out of your book. I'm studying your build report closely and will make a note of all the mistakes you've discovered... Thanks for sharing...:DFirst Place Metal:DFirst Place Metal
 
PART P70 NOTICE

I have just started video #29 which is solely related to building the stove
As usual I made a note and collected all the parts required but couldn’t find P70 on the PE sheets anywhere. Finally in desperation after checking multiple times, I contacted AL to be told that P70 wasn’t included in the first production run and they would send me the part. They didn’t say what the time frame of the first production run was but I ordered my kit in late October’24. I suggest anyone doing this kit to check your PE sheets now and if P70 is missing contact AL asap so you are not held up when the time comes to fit it
 
Hey Alan,

It's really wonderful how you're building the HMS, it's amazing. Thanks for pointing that out. I checked the P circuit board straight away and you're right, part P70 is missing. It's strange, I have P69 and P71, but I can't find it either. I'll write to AL and order part P70. Unless it's possible to recreate it. What do you think?

Hi Gunter
Glad you’ve noticed that
Re making it yourself, it’s hard to see the exact shape etc on the video, looks like a S or Z shape. If you’re not desperate for it yet then contact AL. I emailed them yesterday late evening and they answered within half an hour. You should get the part in about a week judging from other items they’ve sent to me
Regards
Alan
 
Instructions video #29 completed

A testament to the detail in this kit, video #29 is solely concerned with building the ships stove. Many PE parts and brass rods have to be bent to shape and assembled together
A couple of issues, PE part P70 was not on my PE sheets (as mentioned above) and after contacting AL I was told it was not included in the first production run, they didn’t say why but they are sending me the part. I’ve decided to crack on and finish it as the part (P70) is quite small and located on the port side of the stove so will barely be visible once everything is closed in
When it arrives I will try to fit it in situ.
Again I had to open up the pre drilled holes to take the eyelets EB
Again, pictures below are in build order and should be self explanatory.

How are you making your nice straight square bend lines?
Click to expand...
I just followed the video instructions
Basically, hold one side of the joint line with a pair of long nose pliers then place the narrow end of a steel rule on the other side of the bend line and use that as a lever to bend the part
Usually needed a bit of adjustment to get 90 degrees. The only part I was a bit disappointed with was P67, probably the most complex bend, and for some reason they didn’t show a bend sequence as with the previous parts, perhaps they thought you should have got the hang of it by then :)
 
Bucket Quandry

I want to put a bucket under the condense pipe coming off the stove but a 1/84 bucket would be barely visible (as seen by the scale figure carrying buckets). Would it be ok to use this larger one ? Would they have had larger buckets on the ship or if I take the handle off it could be a slops tub etc. what do you think ?

I think you need to learn to focus your camera better. ROTF
 
Dear Alan, The distiller for producing drinking water was made of copper and was carefully polished.

Just completed the first instruction video, as expected the parts didn’t fit together as easily as the guy in the video is managing it but it does go together well. Taken me a bit longer than expected as I’ve been a bit under the weather for a few days The ply pieces that define the line at the bottom of the open hull on the starboard side would not bend enough without soaking in water ( not shown or mentioned in the video) , so if anyone is going to do this kit, bare that in mind. I may shelve this now till after Christmas as her indoors wants the tree up and that goes where I have my indoor work space and it’s a bit too cold to transfer work to the garden cabin We’ll see

Exelent KIT -one of the few kits with the Keel included from start. I have over 60 years of bulding from kits on seen two. One from Amati (forgot the name) and then my favorit kit of Norske Love. from your pict. aparenlly there is no False KEEEL (HURRA) and apparently No deck inserted until now ( again a Hurra) this will make a much easier build .
EXELENT BUILD until now.

The video above proves that El Capi is still alive, because in it I saw him move just a little. :D All fun aside, I agree with El Capi regarding the keel. If the keel is already part of the false keel plate of the hull framework, it is inherently strong when the model is held by a keel vise. Outside veneers can simulate the seams in the parts of the stem and sternpost effectively. I worry about the weight of the model hull breaking off the keel when I have to lean the hull over at 45 degrees in the vise to work on rigging up high.
