Good job on the pinrail Jim. Please tell me you didn't make all those pins yourself. Madness lies that way. Are they metal ones?

Thanks Elliott. Madness indeed, they are brass.
The second pic tells the tale, they came out of a screw machine.
cheers Jim

Some small progress
The first 2 pics are, I assume, a bilge pump. This would be 1880 technology.
The next 2 pics are of a seawater pump according to the plans.
I assum that this was for flushing the heads which are on the original ship plans.
They are now storage spaces.
Finally a fancy companionway with a lot of openable glass panels.
cheers Jim

Another piece of deck furniture. Thanks Kent for the picture.
This one was not on the original plans so I had to scale it.
The deck was changed around when the ship was used as a yacht.

It's so close to the pump that the doors had to be bi-fold or they wouldn't be able to open.
The pump crank is missing but on the plans.

I think the piece is a touch too big. You notice that after it's glued down.

cheers Jim

The last piece of deck furniture, a skylight.
In the background the pins are in the side pinrails.
I guess the next step is the masts. Being steel they will look too small in diameter.
Actually everything above the lower mast is still timber.
The ship is rigged with wire rope which will also look too small. Modern ship.

cheers Jim

I think you did a good job on the deck furniture Jim and your pics bear me out. Nice, too, to know about the lower mast and wire rope size issue. I had no idea. What do you plan to use to represent wire rope?

Thanks Elliott, I am pretty happy with it. The lower masts are 2 feet in diameter or
1/4 inch on scale. I should clarify that the standing rigging is wire rope, the running
rigging is still conventional hemp. The picture, thanks again Kent, shows that the wire
is wrapped with black stuff and so just smaller gauge black thread should do it.
cheers Jim

After a pretty long time some progress.
Working on the bowsprit with most of the chains in place.
Even though the masts are metal, the bowsprit is clearly timber.
The last real ship picture, thanks again Kent, shows the heel of the bowsprit which is
hacked out of a square timber

The wire rope lines will go around the lugs on the dolphin striker.
Also the kitchen flue finally in place.
cheers Jim

Good work on the bowsprit chains Jim. Nice and tight without causing deformity in the dolphin striker.

Thanks Elliott. The jibboom is finally finished up.
Those chains became a problem when they loosened up. Maybe the extreme heat.
Also they were anchored with eye-pins that were all out of scale, had to go.


The martingale or "Dolphin striker" has 4 cleats but only 3 of them will be used.
There are 5 fore stays on this ship. A larger ship might have 6. The inner 2 are fastened
hard to the bowsprit while the rest go through sheaves or pulleys set into the jibboom.
These lead back over the cleats thus only 3 of them are used.
The 3 holes in the boom are for the 3 outer stays. I didn't dare try to model the pulleys
because of weakening the jibboom too much.


Next project is the fore mast. The iron construction of the tops is becoming a problem.
They are made out of steel angle so they are such lace that it is hard to make them
strong enough to support rigging.
I may have to make them out of metal if I can figure out how to do that.

cheers Jim
