Alan, Thanks for turning the pages, my worry about the main Victory buckets is that you need about 21 to go across the poop deck, now I reckon they must be about 3mm tapering down to about 2mm! or do you think just to make 21 that fit across but out of scale ?

Well I had a another go at making those buckets I found it better with Lime a softer wood to turn, I was wondering if you have had the time to try your new Proxxon lathe yet and what type of wood you find best?
Trev Hi Trev, I have had a play with bits of scrap etc. I do find softer wood easer to work as you would expect, but also easier to make a mess off. Harder wood gives you some advantage if you are doing tight shapes like banister spindles etc. I am of the opinion, at the moment, that if you can get away with lime do so. As for your buckets I would shape them first then bore the centre after. Then I would paint and try and print the coat of arms glue on and varnish Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Trev Dont recal if you had the detail packs for Victory or not, but i think i had a coat of arms pick in one of them that you could scale down and print. I will check tonight J “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

UPDATE: Victory Cross Section. Completing the Orlop planking. Today I completed the centre section of the Orlop decking,I found that I had to fit a false deck because when it came to cutting the planking it was so fragile it cracked, so the only way was to fit a false deck and stain the under side, the next job was to draw the outlines with a pencil using a new blade I marked over the pencil lines, I then drilled small holes around the markings and removed the wood with a knife and file. Next try the mast and elm tree pump castings for position and adjust for misalignment all seemed to be ok.  Centre Section To be planked but I had to make a false deck to allow me to make small cuts without splitting the wood.  This picture shows centre section with the wood removed.  This Shows the Elm-tree-pump castings in place.  Elm-tree- Castings and main mast in place. Next adding the frames to the pump well and painting white. Thank you for having a look at my work more soon. Regards to all, Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Thanks Ian ,my thoughts are that to build a cross section before you attempt a main build ,will give you a good idea what's going on and have that hands on experience. Thanks again Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

UPDATE: VICTORY CROSS SECTION. 080315. Making Orlop Chests. In this short update I am showing a few pictures of the Orlop chests which are custom made to fit between the riders. Also I will be making a few seaman's chests in a variety of styles and sizes, on these I will add the brass strip to make the metal bands for the lids.       Thank you for looking Regards Trev.
