Alan Hi Alan, thank you In Issue 12 we will be approaching a critical part of the build, when we fit the cannon supports it is very important that we make sure the spaces between the ribs are exact as we fit decks up the ribs of the ship. I will be using a method that works for me, any differance between the measurement of the ribs at the deck level (by even 1mm) will throw the fixings out on the decks above. Do not worry if your ribs above deck level have twisted a lttle ( I have 4 that have) they will straighten as we fit the Decks. And do not be to worried about the stem it will move again (it is a living thing!) Do not spend to much time on it at this stage. Happy building Kind regards Mike  MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Happy building Kind regards Mike Mike thanks for the heads up, you have now put fear into me with what lies ahead....  ..... Apprehensive to say the least and no doubt as we progress into the build we will find out just how accurate I have been..... Where indeed would us first timers be without the guidance of experienced builders like yourself..... Am loving it though..... Alan

ISSUE 12 BUILD The object this week is to fit the Dummy cannon beams, and deck supports between the ribs, to support the next deck, wether it be another ply deck or deck planks, as yet we do not know. I followed the instructions, no problems there, but I did add the two enhancements ---- the first was to also pin the beams to the inside of the rib with a pin punch, this gave a much better fix. The second enhancement was the inclusion of a piece of 1/4inch dowel underneath the deck supports (Placed in the middle) the reason for this? well what ever deck we put on next we are going to apply pressure to the beams, this could result in breakages in the centre of the deck supports, its just an extra precaution:- MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Mike, nice idea with the bits of dowel. I take it there are no openings in the next deck to make them visible.

Graeme Hi Greame, MR T has alredy posted the next deck to be fitted will be the same ply as this one we have just fitted, plus there will be no deck openings, and so the dowel will not be seen I hope that helps, kind regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

I would not deem to teach an expert how to suck eggs, but my thought is that if we are fitting the same sort of deck as last time, then may be 3 dowel supports across each cross beam (evenly spaced) may give more pinning points ,or would that be classed as overkill.
