HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe

[Uwek]

A final work was still necessary on the rudder blade

above and directly under the mortice for the tiller were two additional braces installed, both in deepenings in the wooden post



So I was able to use first time this black metal foil which I bought some weeks ago - many thanks once more for the tip

The foil was caut into strips with a sharp knife and fixed with superglue - holes for the bolts are also already drilled



These tinny little bolts from @Dry-Dock Models & Parts are installed (head has 0,6mm diameter)



and afterwards blackened with a small drop



many thanks for your interest ..... to be continued with the work on the gudgeon braces of the hull ......

 

[Uwek]

The gudgeon braces of the hull are started

for some information before the related sketches of the Anatomy book



Before I dryfit the parts I had to prepare the stern-post



a first dry fit





The gudgeons are already cleaned, thinned towards the ends, and also the holes for the bolts drilled - more or less in the final form





and now all four which have to be installed at the lower hull - a fifth have to be installed later on also at the upper part of the hull (but not connected to the rudder)



on the side of the hull, which is not planked I reduced the length - otherwise it would look somehow weird



a small dryfit with the rudder in place - also to see and mark the final locations







Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued (blackened and bolted)

Hello Uwe, I have a question. In the attached picture I have marked a green area, will a false keel be mounted here? If not, wouldn't the rudder be too long, red line? Questions upon questions.

Yes, I am planning to install a false keel, although the total height of the keel will be a little bit too high

Here is the total drawing showing the false keels, but I will try to make only one, the #18 "lower false keel (teak)"

 

[Tobias]

Thanks for the info, it makes sense. Because of the split hull it will be a bit of a challenge to fit it exactly, but knowing you, you will manage it perfectly. I look forward to seeing you again in almost 2 months.

 

[Gravman]

Great fit on the metal to wood joints. Definitely not your first rodeo. Excellent work.

Good afternoon Uwek. So very very good! Cheers Grant

Outstanding solution for the unplanked side!! I was very confused, at first, when I saw this photo:

Why would the grudgeons not be symmetrical?? Then I saw them installed on your unplanked side.

A brilliant solution from a master model builder. I had a similar dilemma on my Navy Board model of HMS Serapis and chose to add small "strips" of planking for the grudgeons to be bolted to. Your solution emphasis the unplanked side and keeps it much "cleaner". Again...Brilliant and thanks for sharing!!

I was also thinking about such a solution - but somehow I wanted to try something else
Many Thanks for your comment and your kind words

IN the meantime the gudgeons are blackened





Here important is to check the correct location of the gudgeons with the rudder - and the rudder has to be possible to dismantle







some small bending necessary before I take the glue .....

 

[Nomad]

Nice close-up detail Uwe

 

[Herman]

Outstanding, exemplary work.

Good afternoon Uwek. Everything you do is an example of accuracy and excellence. Kudos. Cheers Grant

 

[Uwek]

before installing the bolts I wanted to make some "wood" and made the small fragile tiller

I plan to present the lower part of the model in this way.....







Many Thanks for your interest .... to be continued .....

wish you all a nice relaxing weekend

 

[pianoforte]

The tiller is particularly well done. Bravo

 

[dockattner]

You better put that tiller away! So fragile (and so well done)!

 

[Gravman]

Excellent work.

 

[GrantTyler]

Excellent work.

Ditto and ditto
