Patience and love... This job cannot be done any other way. The rigging alone of Essex took 6 months.

That's it for today

 

[Thrasher]

Conny's current situation.

 

[Thrasher]

Your shipyard crew has been busy. Looking great.

Today I made a ladder going down from the spar deck to the gun deck.

 

[mtbediz1]

I made the chain pots and fixed them in place. These are where the anchor chains or ropes are transferred across the gun deck and into storage areas. I then hauled the anchor chains onto the gun deck.

 

[mtbediz1]

I completed the gun deck hatch's stancions and hand ropes. I made two ladders from the spar deck to the gun deck and since they were still reachable I added stancions for the hand ropes because the beams would prevent me from reaching them later.

You know I love detail. What a great job on the chains.

Since I was away from the shipyard for a while, there was no progress on the model. Let me share a few photos that I like.

It's like being aboard the real ship! Ever consider doing props for the movies?

yes - we can smell the sweat and also the blood during action - really good perspective views inside the deck

Thank you Uwe.I wanted to present a different image.

I decided not to add the auxiliary beams along the gratings on the spar deck. I'll settle for just the main beams. Thus, the details on the gun deck will be more visible.
