Slip the shaft 55 in one end of the winch, and fit the drum
53 and the brake drum 56 on it. Fit the capstan heads 57
on both ends of the shaft and secure them with one drop
of cyano each. Glue the handwheels 58 to the winch base.
Bend the gearbox lever 60 to the shape shown. Drill holes
in the base and glue the gear lever 59 and the gearbox
lever 60 in them.
Warping winch
Drill holes for the shaft 61 in the winch base 49 at the
marked points.
Assemble winch drum 62 from winch tube 62 as well as the
schims 62a (18 mm diam.), 62b (10 mm diam.), 62c (16
mm diam.) and 62d (14 mm diam.). Sand the parts clean.
Slide the parts in the follow 62c - 6d - 62c - 62a - 62b - 62 -
62b - 62a on shaft 61 and glue the parts together.
Wind the rope 63 (thread) onto the winch drum 62 and tack
it in place with cyano.
Form the other end of the rope into a loop and tack the
ends together. Fit the shaft and the drum, push the shaft
right through, secure it with glue, and attach the handwheel
64 to it.
Cut out the laser cut bow platform 65 and glue it to the
deck in the position shown on the plan.
Assemble the toolbox from parts 66 - 69 as shown, and
apply a piece of d-c-fix 70 to the toolbox lid 69.
Sand the completed toolbox and glue it to the deck in the
position shown on the plan.
Cut out the vacuum-moulded afterdeck hatch 71, trim it to
fit on the after deck and glue it in place. Apply the film 72 to
the hatch
cover. Glue the bollards 73 to the bow platform and the
deck.
Anchor gear
The anchor gear is assembled from parts 74 - 82.
Trim the anchor winch base 74 to follow the camber of the
deck (see also the view "Anchor winch"). Glue the chain
pulley 75 and the capstan head 76 to the anchor winch
base.
Drill two 4 mm Ø holes in the deck for the chain hawses
77, and a 7 mm Ø hole in the hull for the anchor hawse
tube 78. Sand the ends of the tube angled to fit the angle
of the hull side to the deck and glue it in water tight. Glue
parts 77 in the holes.
Drill a 1 mm Ø hole in the chain stopper 79 for the hand-
crank 80. Bend the handcrank to the shape shown in the
plan view, fit it in the chain stopper and glue the parts
together. Temporarily thread the anchor chain 81 through
the slot in the chain stopper; if the slot turns out to be too
small, open it up slightly.
The base of the chain stopper should now be sanded to
follow the camber of the deck. Glue the completed anchor
winch and chain stopper to the deck in the positions shown
on the plan. Fit Hall anchor 82 to the chain and slide it
through the anchor hawse tube and the chain stopper and
wrap it round the capstan head. Thread the chain through
the chain hawses and secure it with a drop of cyano.
Deck superstructure
Use cyano for all glued joints in this stage unless stated
otherwise.
Now the vacuum-moulded engine room 83, the wheel-
house 86 and the two-part funnel 88 can be trimmed along
the marked lines, as shown on the plan, and the edges
sanded smooth. Cut the holes in the engine room and
the wheelhouse for the portholes, and cut out the window
openings. It is best to cut the window openings undersize
initially, then trim them to final outline using flat and square
files.
Drill holes at the marked points in the laser cut bridge deck
84, and glue it to the engine room with the edges flush,
as shown on the plan. Using a modelling knife, cut out
the shape of the internal opening in the roof of the engine
room, working along the outline of the bridge deck. The
holes in the bridge deck for the railing stanchions can now
be continued into the engine room. Trim the navigation
deck 85 to fit inside the wheelhouse 86.
Measure the distance from the side, front and rear edges
of the wheelhouse to the outside of the navigation deck,
and compare these values with the side elevation on the
plan. Position the wheelhouse accurately, then carefully
invert the wheelhouse and navigation deck and mark the
position of the navigation deck on the inside using a felt-tip
pen.
Now hold the navigation deck and the wheelhouse to-
gether, and mark the position of the holes for the railing
stanchions using a thin pin or a piece of steel wire with a
pointed tip.
Remove the navigation deck and drill holes at the marked
points. The navigation deck can now be glued in the wheel-
house after lining it up with the felt-tip marks. You may find
it necessary to adjust the openings in the bulwark slightly.
Cut out the five glazing panels 87 to form the wheelhouse
windows and glue them to the inside of the wheelhouse
behind the window openings using a little contact cement.
Ensure that no glue is squeezed out onto the clear panels,
as this will leave unsightly marks.
Glue the wheelhouse in place as shown on the plan, with
its forward edge flush with the front edge of the bridge deck
(see plan view).
Cut out the two funnel half-shells 88 and sand the joint
faces flat. Place them together with the edges flush, and
apply three or four drops of cyano along the joint. Let the
glue set hard, then run more cyano round the seam to
complete the joint.
Trim the funnel to fit against the bridge deck and the
wheelhouse, but do not glue it at this stage. It should only
be installed permanently when the mast has been comple-
ted and glued in place.
