Exactly what I have decided to do, maybe it was meant to be this way to allow sanding flat of the ends, at least i know it was'nt anything I had done wrong  Cheers |

Mark, I have been looking at your build photos, I see you are constructing the superstructure on a flat surface, but it will be sitting on a CURVED surface when glued in place, will there be a problem with this, or will it flex into position?
Not got these peices yet myself, so I like to know what I'm going to stuff up before I get there!! ;D

I'm glad you spotted my deliberate mistake !!!!! The superstructure is actualy a fairly short piece, and the shallow curve on the deck will hardly be noticable over the short distance. If it doesn't flex into position, then a little sanding should get it to sit properly. Well spotted - I actually hadn't given it a thought  |

All well and good, but don't forget all the brass bits that will have been glue in place. This will restrict sanding if you tink about it?  |

Hi Napolean,
I'll do a test fit before the brass etchings are applied. In fact, judicious positioning of the etchings may cover any small gaps.

If you mean the semi circle at the back end of part 111, this is for the range finder tower. The mast fits on the forward extension of part A (picture 20 in issue 28) which we havent got yet.
For details of the parts in issues 25,26,27 28 these can be found on pages 92 to 95 of Anatomy of the Ship....

Yes, part 120 from iss 28 should be flush with part 114, ie butt up to it., there should be no gap as shown at step 20. If you do have a small gap between the two then you will need to remove some material (sand) from the ends of parts 117 & 118 at the end where they slide below part 114  |

Hi Mark,
Agree with you on when to fit brass bits and obviously, I don't think there really should be tooooo much probs as regards gaps.
PS Do have a nice day SSSSir!!!

i know in iss29 we get a measurment from the front for the super structer but can some kind hearted sole please give vside measurements as well?
|

Post by napoleon on Sept 10, 2007 19:00:26 GMT 1
I would presume for side measurement, just measure width of superstructure and width of hull, deduct smallest measurement from the other and divide in half. What is left from edge of hull will give you the position point.

Going back to the measurtements for the part created in issue 29 why do we nee dthe measurements at this stage as we dont need to glue it down yet i appreciate this will give us the correct placement when required but why now. |

Just test fitted part 146 to part 122 and it is quite a loose fit. The instructions say this part must be fitted accurately. Since it wobbles which end do you press down and glue to get an accurate fit, front or rear?
