RESOLUTION 1667 1:48

[tball4217]

I have open ports, and I often broke them off on previous models while I was doing the rest. When the model is finished, many viewers open and close ports and doors when they look at it. They also sometimes break them off. That's why I make everything very strong.

Well there is a reason that all the books say to nail the gun port lids open if you want them open.

But if people insist on breaking on your models... i insist upon breaking their fingers.

 

[Karen]

After I bought the rollers, making flat loops became very easy and fast.

 

[Karen]

I'll think about the fingers, it's a good idea.

 

[Karen]

On the lower deck, I decided to make the gun carriages without wheels. They will need to be glued well so that they do not accidentally come off. When I glue the deck with slats, it will be impossible to get to these guns.

 

[Karen]

The steering wheel control lever works.

 

[Karen]

I've made all the gratings and ladders. I'll sew up the middle of the deck with slats and take on the guns.

 

[Karen]

Regarding the heads, I'm not sure they were there, but they look better.

General view of the ship.

I realize it is far too late now, but for the future, English carriages at the time of Resolution and up to about 1724 were extended bed type where the brackets sat on top of the extended bed. After that period there was no bed.

I made these gun carriages conditional. It is important for me that they are well glued to the deck. I will make the guns on the upper decks as in your picture.

 

[AllanKP69]

It is important for me that they are well glued to the deck.

Some like to add brass pins to the trucks (wheels) and into the deck with some epoxy to make sure they are secure. No mattter, if the upper deck is closed in whatever you do on the lower decks will not be seen.

[Karen]

I agree. And thank you very much for the drawings of the guns.

 

[Karen]

I have a question, what kind of door handles were on ships in the 1660-1670s?

 

[Maarten]

Hi Karen I would check the books of Richard Endsor dealing with this period.

 

[Karen]

In order to make holes in the deck for the masts, I had to make the masts first.

 

[AllanKP69]

I have a question, what kind of door handles were on ships in the 1660-1670s?

Hi Karen,
The only picture I could find in The Master Shipwright's Secrets by Richard Endor were ring handles on his painting of Tyger. These would likely have been incorporated with a Suffolk latch if from the 17th century.
Allan

 

[Karen]

Thank you very much. I will hang the rings on the doors.

 

[BradNSW]

Just discovered this log...will be following your excellent work! Thanks for sharing your build.

[Karen]

Today I drew guns in 3D, now I will cut out the master models on a CNC machine, and then make molds for casting them from tin.

 

[Karen]

Only the gun barrels will be made of metal, and the gun carriages will be made of wood. Just not like the ones on the model. These are later. Mine are slightly different.
