Instructions video #33 completed

In this final part I form, paint and place the pillars on the upper gun deck then prepare and paint the supporting beams for the quarter deck before making and fitting the led lanterns to them and fitting them in place on the ship. Routing the wires is different this time, previously the frame timbers were drilled through to the outside then notched out to allow the wire to travel the length of the hull keeping within the space created by the inner and outer planking. This time a notch is made at the end of each beam for the same purpose, I assume that this is because the frame timbers, especially towards the bow are getting thinner now. You still need to drill through the frames to route the cables but with these thinner frames I’ve drilled 2 smaller holes for each individual wire instead of one larger hole as I’ve done before. You may notice that I haven’t painted the central section of 3 of the beams, that’s because in the next video instructions they are cut out to form the waist/skid beam area.

Hi Allen, Great craftsmanship!!! I'm also starting this ship, so I been following along for awhile now. What kind of glue did you use for the light covers? I tried CA it discolors it some.

Glenn

As usual I have attached progress photos.

Hi Glenn
I use CA too and don’t have any issues, perhaps it’s the type or make that your using
I use this (picture below) it’s not cheap but comes in 3 types , thin medium and thick for different applications, I mostly use the thick as it stays where you put it

Instructions video #34 completed

In this video instructions I paint and fit the inner hull planking on the port side in between the beams fitted in the previous instalment. Then, (using a piece of one of the kits laser cut sheets that had beams in it) put a curve in the skid beams. Skid beam Q4.C is placed in beam #7 location and using a neat template, that has to be constructed, I cut out the centre sections of beams 6, 8 and 9. Another jig is made to which the other 5 skid beams are attached, the assembly is then painted and fitted into the space created using skid beam Q4.C to position it correctly
Finally in this instalment, I prepare and fit the quarter deck sections, I definitely won’t miss having to create any more of those chequer board patterns
Although at every deck level I have test fitted the masts to make sure all the deck holes lined up I’ve never actually checked the rake (angles) of them
Now that all decks (apart from the poop) are in place, I’ve had a look at it and I’m fairly pleased with the mast alignment throughout the length of the ship and the rakes.

Another informative video Alan. Certainly a bit of work forming whole skid beam area. Cool graphics too. Looking forward to seeing you tackle the stern rooms etc.
