pliers. The shafts are made up of brass, with a diameter of 1.5 mm.Make a hole, with a big enough diameter, next to the stern
post, so that the tiller will enter. Attach the rudder blade to the hull using the hinges and pins.
PHOTO 71. Make up the gratings, ensuring that all of the parts are well inserted and then glue them in place using quick drying
glue. From these complete parts take bits to make up the different gratings on the decks. Check the plans for the sizes to be cut.
PHOTO 72. Cut the sections of grating, no. 99, to size and attach them to the strips, nos. 100, 101 and 102. Use quick drying
glue.
PHOTO 73. Make up another set using grating no. 99 and the strips nos. 103 and 104.

then glued into place on the stem.
PHOTO 75. Assemble the other set of grating, no. 99, and the strips, nos. 107 and 108.
PHOTO 76. The stairs are assembled using the uprights, nos. 110 and 111. The steps are cut to the indicated sizes from the
strips, no. 109. Once assembled they are cut to the indicated size for each hatch (see plan 2). Use quick setting glue.
PHOTO 77. Frame the hatch as follows using strips nos. 112 and 113. Glue the columns, no. 114, in place and onto them the
strips, nos. 115 and 116. Then glue the four finials, no. 117, into place. Fit one of the stairs using quick setting glue.

the ammunition, no. 117. Fit the necessary four step stairs.
PHOTO 79. Make up the assembly shown in the photo using the parts, nos. 99, 121, 122 and 123. In the next step this
assembly is fitted to the deck.
PHOTO 80. Decorate the entry to the hatches on the main deck, following the same steps as in photo 77, along with the
corresponding stairs. Fit the Grating, assembled in the last step, in place. Make up and glue two equal gratings, using parts nos.
99, 124 and 125. Glue the stairs, giving access to this deck, in place.
PHOTOS 81 & 82. Cut the seven beams of the main hatch, no. 126, and add to the supports, no. 127. Rebate the interior of the
supports, in the form of an arch, and glue them in place in the opening of the hatch (also see plan 2).

Using 1.5 mm. brass wire, make up the quarter deck rail, no. 34, newel posts, no. 133. Holes, of the same diameter as those in
the newel posts, must then be made in the limber boards, so that they can be inserted.
PHOTO 85. Fit the necessary columns, no. 114, in place and fasten the mainmast rail, no. 135.
PHOTO 86. Make up the five samson post pin rack assemblies, nos. 136 and 137. These assemblies will be fitted in place later.
PHOTOS 87 & 88. Build the carriages and stain them walnut or paint them red. Make the axles and fit the trucks. Decorate the
gun barrels and fit them on the carriages. Fasten threads 140a and fasten the guns to the sides using ringbolts B. Fit the two pin
racks built in photo 86 around the fore mast below the partners.

and 144 for the narrower ones.
PHOTO 90. The channels, nos. 145, 146 and 147, are made up from a strip. The brackets, no. 148, will give the correct slope,
in relation to the hull. See plan 2 for the position of the 1 mm. diameter holes that must be made.
