GRAUPNER JULES VERNE Instructions De Montage page 23

to set hard, then sand back the joint line to an even width of about 1 mm to 2 mm. Glue together the two
shells of the outboard motor (part 99), applying plenty of UHU acrylit on the inside; there must be enough
adhesive in the area of the glued joint to ensure that the two halves remain together when the joint line is
sanded back. When the glue has set hard remove the outer flange around the outboard motor and sand
the edge smooth. Cut the shaft spigot (part 100) from a scrap piece of 1 mm Ø ABS round rod. Drill a hole
in the appropriate part of the outboard motor and glue the spigot in it. Paint the outboard motor and glue
the propeller to the shaft spigot.
Make the two supports (part 102) for the inflatable boat from scrap ABS or wood, and glue the supports to
the underside of the boat.
Cut out the cover (part 103) for the inflatable boat. Option: you will find marked points at the peaks of the
cover; if you drill these out you can lash the cover to the inflatable boat using thin thread or similar; in this
case you don't need to fit out the inside of the inflatable boat.
The inflatable boat should be painted white overall. If you wish to fit out the interior, use the colours of your
choice but make sure that they harmonise with the main colours of the JULES VERNE.
The outboard motor can now be glued to the inflatable boat. The bottom fin of the motor should rest on the
boat, and the cover should fit over the motor. Fit the steering wheel (part 104) to the instrument panel.
Bend the throttle lever (part 105) to shape from 1.5 mm Ø steel rod, drill a hole for it in the instrument
panel and glue the throttle lever in place. Fix the cover to the inflatable boat with a few strips of double-
sided tape so that it can be removed again at any time.
Glue the inflatable boat and the derrick to the superstructure.
Glue the two halves of the stern flagstock (part 106) together, and carefully sand the flagstock to a round
profile when the glue is dry. Drill a hole in the superstructure at the indicated point and glue the flagstock
in place permanently from the underside. The hole in the deck is designed to clear the flagstock when the
superstructure is fitted on the boat. If the hole does not provide clearance, enlarge it until the
superstructure fits snugly.
Prepare the ventilators (part 107) by cutting them down at the first ring. Paint them silver and glue them to
the superstructure at the marked points.
Prepare the forward handrail (part 108) by very carefully sanding it to a round section at the top. TIP: sand
just a short section at a time, holding the rail firmly at the bottom; this reduces the risk of breakage. Stain
and lacquer the railing and glue it to the fore deck using thick cyano. Repeat the procedure with the roof
railing (part 109). NOTE: if the railing components should break in spite of your care, glue the parts
together again with a little white glue. Take care that NO white glue remains on the surface, as this would
prevent it accepting stain, i.e. wipe off the glue immediately with a soft cloth.
Glue the three parts of the mast (part 110) together using white glue. Sand the surfaces smooth and round
off the corners when the glue has set hard. Do not round off the area which will be glued to the rear bridge
panel later. Using a saw blade 1 mm wide cut straight slots in the mast in the positions shown on the plan
to accept the radar support (part 111), the transverse support (part 112) and the two lamp bearers (part
114). Glue the two supports in the slots. Glue the radar strut (part 113) under the support; you may need
to trim the strut slightly to fit.
Glue the two lamp bearers in the slots and glue the anchor light bearer (part 115) to the top of the mast.
Ensure that all the lamp bearers are at right-angles to the surface of the mast which will be glued to the
rear bridge panel.
Cut the two hinge plates (part 116) from scrap ABS and glue them to the sides of the mast.
Glue the mast to the rear bridge panel using thick cyano. Check that the mast is vertical as viewed from
the stern.
Make up the stern lamp bearer (part 117) and its strut (part 118) from scrap ABS material. Glue the strut
to the underside of the bearer, trim this assembly to fit against the angled part of the superstructure and
glue it in place.
Assemble the radar housing (part 119) and glue the radar antenna (part 120) to it. Glue the completed
radar assembly to the mast.
Paint the boat lamps (part 121) and the anchor light (part 122 - the lamp without the straight back panel) in
the stated colours, and glue them in the appropriate positions on the mast and the stern lamp bearer.
All the following fittings can now be glued to the superstructure: the ship's wheel (part 104), the two
throttle levers (part 123), the telephone handset (part 124), the foghorn (part 125) and the windscreen
wipers (part 126). TIP: the ship's wheel is easier to attach if you cut a short piece of 1.5 mm steel rod and
glue this in the cockpit beforehand.
Cut out the holder (part 127) for the lifebelt (part 128). Glue this to the inside of the side cladding as shown
on the plan, and insert the lifebelt in the holder.
Mark the position of the railing stanchions (part 129) on the hull. Drill 1 mm Ø holes at the marked points
to a depth of about 4 mm. TIP: attach a collet to the drill bit at the correct height to avoid accidentally
