Thanks guys!

Yesterday i finished the poop deck - i added some kevels and clamps (i am not very pleased with the clamps provided - they don`t look quite right).

So this is another milestone - all decks are completed!

I have not yet decided how to move on - maybe i`ll do all the hammock nets next or maybe the chainwales - we`ll see!

Hi Walter
Your decks look top notch, a really nice build, can you please explain to me what your method for using the Humbrol Clear Fix was ?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
it`s quite simple.
Just brush a fair amount of ClearFix into the window-frames - let it dry! :)

Thanks Ian!

Actually i wanted to proceed with the chainwales - as i will produce my own ones with the real measurements out of my books.

But then i decided to to do the hammock netting first (at least at the bow) so that i can see how broad the chainwales will have to be for the shrouds not to interfere with the nets.

The bow hammock nets were mounted on a separate board which was attached to the rail cap strips.

The netting was done in the previously mentioned fashion.

I´m working on fore-mast chainwales at the moment.

I made my own chainwales according to the measurements of my victory-books. I cut them a Little bit broader, thus ensuring that the shrouds won`t touch the hammock nets.

Also i customized the postition of the deadeyes so that the rigging of the chainwales won`t interfere with any gunports.

For the deadeyes i used a somewhat smaller diameter brass wire. Despite annealing, it snapped several times.

Looking good Walter, it's a fine line between getting the wire annealed properly and not melting it.

Lovely work again Walter..... I tend to have problems getting annealing right too, to me it's an art in itself..... Laugh
