Working on the anchor rope hawse holes. I found six pieces all the same size packed together and three more pieces of the same size packaged wit the steering wheel. I'm assuming I just substitute. This is probably such a basic situation that I can't find any mention in the build logs. No dimensions are listed in the parts list
Best regards,

Installed anchor hawse hole fittings. I ordered 1/16" pinstriping tape from Uncle Amazon for the hull. If that doesn't look appropriate I will try hand painting.

Painted deadeyes.
Maybe I should have painted them first
It looks like I will have to go over the entire bunch with a drill bit again
Happy modeling,
Ted

Hi Ted.
The 6 of D245 are for the Main / Captains Cabin. See plan 8-3, fig. P.18
The 2 of D246 are for the Hawse Holes. See plan 8-2, fig. 27.
The 2 of the 3 of D247 are for Stearing Case. See plan 8-3, fig. P.19. The 3rd is for the Main Cabin door. See P.18.

For example, when you use the Google Translate app, the parts list for the Chinese characters shows this translation text as indication:

Rudder hinges glued up awaiting installation after other hull parts finished.

Nice job on the rudder, Ted. Good to see you are preparing a lot of part for the installing later on.
First I thought .... oeps ...... the rudder 'is not hanging' in the hinges. But the rudder is posted upside-down in the plastic bag on the drawing .......
This can be seen from the small beveled surface that meets the same beveled surface of the keel on the underside.

The pinstripe, when applied correctly, will yield superior results over hand painting. You better spend time trying to apply the pinstripe tape rather than spending time masking and handpainting. Plus you run the risk of inadvertently damaging your already painted hull.

Boy do i know that. I'm going back and forth between the white and black on the rails.
I just hope the colors match.

I understand the orientation.
I had to cut off the stem because I put the hole in keel at the back and had to cut a new one. I was damaging the keel making the new hole and went with the method wit the least damage.

It is a learning process Ted,
By doing, you gain a lot of experience and insights.

It is a matter of getting up and continuing (just like in the past).

I sometimes visit other model building forums.

Nowhere is the support as great as the SOS forum.

Regards Henk.

I whole heartedly agree
I don't know if any other sites but was truly fortunate to have found this one. I could never have built this model without the assistance of my fellow members.
I finished assembling one anchor this morning. Still need to add the lashing and ring.
The first of many small fiddley parts.
Should the rope around the top be lashed or just wrapped and glued?
Fellow modeler,
Ted

Just installed Google translate.
That should make things easier.
I believe you guys hinted at this earlier.
Went right over my head.

Top! When opening, set it to ‘recognize language’ of ‘Chinese (traditional)’ and the outcome -> to English and go to ‘camera’.
Then hold the camera above the characters and ……..tada!
Technical terms can give a funny outcome, but it can give you a direction.

[Ted Robinson]

That works great!

Does using brass black inhibit bonding with super glue to wood?
Thinking of the anchor davits.
Best regards
Ted

 

[Ted Robinson]

s and davits complete

 

[Ted Robinson]

Upon looking at the backside of the planking I'm kinda proud of the beveling for a first try.
I was really intimidated before starting but now feel much more confident. Hopefully my bragging doesn't come back and bite me on the next project
Best regards
Ted

I got my pin view out and drilled all the deadeyes to make sure I don't have a problem when installing.

I noticed a photo of Bluenose II that shows the deadeyes stropped to the shrouds are pear shaped rather than round. (see below) Do you know if this was on the original Bluenose as well? I had never noticed this on a schooner before so wondered if it was common or was the Bluenose II an anomaly.

Yes they were, Allen:

2 pictures of the original Bluenose: pear / teardrop shaped!

It appears to me that the deadeyes are round and are shrouded with a protective cover.

[AllanKP69]

Not 100% sure but they look to be 7" X11" so not round. Maybe someone has a contemporary drawing that will show this for sure. American fishing schooners appear to have had round deadeyes and sizes varied from about 5" to 7" as explained by Howard Chappelle in The American Fishing Schooners, Perhaps Gloucester fishing schooners were different, at least for Bluenose.
