If the deck support structure above the chain pumps was already glued in place, I would have cut the bitts off at the level of the deck support structure, shortened the top portions containing the sheaves, then reattached them to using brass pins for reinforcement if necessary. The cut seams would be below the next layer of deck planks and thus be invisible, being buried in the structure. Disassembling the entire bitt column is a huge amount of effort and difficulty.Major setback yesterday. Apparently I had left the bitts way too long. Had them all installed and was figuring out my next moves yesterday when I noticed the mistake. I had to take them out to shorten them and that of course involved taking all the pump cranks and rods out and debondong the CA I used to hold them in. Long wasted day yesterday but I’m lucky I found it now and not even later on in the build. I’m waiting for yellow heart for the hull planking. I’m at the stage now where I have to get the outer hull parts and upper deck parts made.

Thanks yes, I got through that issue unscathed. Yea get going. Models wont build themselves !Your stock of new wood looks as good as your model build.
Glad you got your error noticed and fixed.
Keep up the good work, more inspiration for me to dig my kit out and get going as I am far far behind all others who have started.
And now we have the new Blandford ship kit to think about.
Doesn't the rectangular portion of the axel extend under the cheeks, and not the cylindrical part of the axel?Gun carriage progress. I rubber cemented two half’s and cut them out at once so I’d have identical sides, they are made up up 2 pieces each side although the joint can barely be seen. I cannot for the life of me figure out how the Quinn’s go in. Anyone ????

Yes it does but these are together now so they'll stay that way. The quoins I was mistaken how I saw the plan, I saw it as two per gun when it was a view of the top and side of only one. My first scratch build I'm giving myself some leeway on accuracy.Doesn't the rectangular portion of the axel extend under the cheeks, and not the cylindrical part of the axel?View attachment 293670

yes indeed, but this is the way I made them and I'd like to get this done sometime in the near future. My first scratchbuild, I'm not looking for perfection.Hello tonphil, if you allow me, Thank you, these puleges must be two but separate.View attachment 293674
